I am a govt employee and hardly never ever leave reviews. But heartbroken beware.... Lisa did not have my best interests in mind. I could never reach her by phone when needed, and emails went unanswered for weeks. We received an email from opposing counsel that we responded to on September 9th, I received the email from Lisa with the follow-up letter. She never reached out to me to let me know that the letter she sent was mishandled at the post office, came back to her, and needed to be resent I found this information out because I reached out to her to her on 10/21 to see the status of my own case. It is December and I had still not heard back from Lisa about this issue. I could send an email and she would turn around and call me for me to explain the same thing that was in the email and charge me. No follow-ups to actions that she said would be taken on my behalf were ever given. When a client hardly ever calls you or sends you emails, when they finally call you and call you four times in a row, email you three times in a row, a normal person would think that there is an emergency and reach out. Istead of reaching out to see what was wrong, she textS me to tell me to stop calling her "incessantly" because she's in court. A simple "as soon as I'm out of court I will give you a call" would possibly have cats my anxiety down and our relationship intact. At 10:30 p.m. on the West coast, I leave my house to walk my dog to find court papers from the East coast just lying on the ground. No envelope... nothing. No one ever knocked on my door. They are divorced papers giving me 21 days to respond and dated November 9th. The 21 days has been up. So what is the first thing you do even at 10:30pm...you call and email your lawyer. And then you wait till 9:00 a.m. West coast time where it's noon on the East coast to call her. But you constantly get voicemail. It's unacceptable. A divorce is already a stressful time, emotional, jarring time. The person representing you in that matter, should have compassion towards your situation and your mental health. Being ignored by your attorney who is extremely uncommunicative....makes everything just a little bit worse because you already feel alone and ignored. You shouldn't have to take that from your attorney too. Especially when you pay every bill on time, in full, and provide all the information requested. Lisa did nothing to further my case but bill me for letters that never reached the opposing attorney. I did all of my own legwork. I would not recommend her business to anyone if they want results.

Ms. McDevitt was very professional and extremely personal when dealing with me through my divorce. She returned calls promptly, made sure that my case proceeded through the court system, quickly. I wish more professionals were like her. I have already referred 2 clients to her.

Ms. McDevitt handled my uncontested divorce. She was very efficient and responsive. She always kept me informed as to the status of my case and always returned phone calls and emails. She made my divorce a breeze. I have already recommended her to a friend and will continue to do so in the future.

Ms. McDevitt made me feel like I was her best friend. She called me on nights and weekends. I had 2 other attorneys before her and I wished I had hired her first. She was very responsive, GREAT in court, and made me feel like she cared for me and my children like her own. She is a fantastic lawyer.
