I hired Lisa for my wrongful terminated case. This was very difficult for me because, I was suing two company and this was during Covid. Lisa was very professional, kind and caring. I will recommend her to anyone who looking for lawyer.

I recently had the pleasure of working with this lawyer for a legal matter. I found them to be friendly, helpful, and well connected. They were able to quickly identify the best course of action and in a timely manner. Highly recommend!

I had a an amazing unbelievable interaction with Lisa Watanabe. I am a Professor at UCLA and reached out to Lisa for a university employment related matter. She responded promptly. She is knowledgeable, thorough, empathetic and articulate. She easily understood the nuances of the issue and gave sound and sincere advice. I rate her as outstanding and recommend her with the highest enthusiasm. (Name withheld for Confidentiality)

Lisa helped me navigate through a very stressful, toxic situation at my previous workplace; I was feeling targeted by the management team for having spoken up on behalf of a colleague (who is under a protected class), and my position at the company ultimately got eliminated under the guise of "restructuring." After I sent Lisa an initial email inquiry, she replied back very quickly, which I appreciated; I was then able to get on a call with her shortly afterwards and she was very patient with me as I walked her through all angles of the situation. Lisa was very honest with me about the strengths and weaknesses of my case, and she helped me strategize some options for next steps. Throughout the entire process, Lisa was incredibly kind, and she was also very generous with her time. I never felt rushed in any of our conversations. I ended up getting a much better severance package than what was originally offered to me. Thank you Lisa! You are one of a kind!

I worked with Lisa and Rise law firm. They are solid professionals and won my case out of court and I collected a good sum for my wrongful termination case. She is a very professional, and sharp attorney.

I recently hired Lisa for my wrongful termination case. From the beginning and all the way thru to getting my settlement check she had me in the loop. There was never a time when I was wondering "where are we at in the case". Lisa and Rise Law Firm provided me with a smooth and speedy path to closure and the funds to jumpstart my plan B. Thanks Lisa and Rise Law Firm.

Dealing with lawsuits can be so tough but when you have the opportunity to work with people who truly care about you and your well-being it doesn't have to be as difficult. Lisa made me feel comfortable and immensely cared for during the entire process. She is warm, kind, communicative and thorough. I appreciate her and the RISE team beyond words.

I am forever grateful to Lisa and her partner Eliot for their expertise. Lisa took time to really understand the multiple issues I had with a recent employer, synthesize the story into coherent claims, and obtain a settlement for me that has made me feel at peace with my bad experience and allowed me to move past it with clarity, relief, and optimism. Lisa was extremely available and attentive throughout the process. She is a consummate professional.

Was very satisfied with her work, took care of everything, and she is really nice and awesome, definitely recommend hiring her.

I have consulted with Lisa Watanabe-Peagler regarding a number of employment issues that I’ve had over the past couple of years. She is extremely knowledgeable and after listening attentively to my description of the case, was able to provide practical and reasonable suggestions for resolution of these issues. Patient and accessible, Lisa provided me with a sense of comfort knowing that matters were being managed prudently. I’m so appreciative to have had her assistance.
