Lisa provides knowledgeable counsel and compassionate legal advocacy to individuals navigating the complexities of matrimonial and family law. Recognizing that family transitions are both legally intricate and emotionally taxing, she tailors her approach to meet the specific goals of each client—whether through assertive litigation or skilled mediation.

She represents clients in all aspects of divorce and family law, including matrimonial litigation, child custody, domestic partner disputes, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, domestic violence matters and post-judgment enforcement and modification applications.  

Beyond her work as an advocate, Lisa is a qualified matrimonial mediator under New Jersey’s Complementary Dispute Resolution Programs, helping parties reach amicable resolutions outside of the courtroom. She has been appointed by the New Jersey Superior Court as a guardian ad litem, representing the interests of children, and as a discovery master, overseeing complex evidence exchanges in contentious litigation.
