I used Lisa Friedrich from March 2013-April 2014. Recently, I withdrew her from my CCAP case. Overall, I felt she was a pretty good fit for what I needed at the time. She was brutally honest with me, and helped me achieve maximal placement with my children, considering my family and personal history as a child support paying mother. Two years after the divorce case concluded, I was extremely nasty to Lisa in an email sent to her as well as our family custody study expert. I was in a medical crisis at that time, on medication that clouded my judgment. In 2021 when I emailed her to withdraw representation, Lisa didn't seem to remember or hold me in judgment over my prior email. She was calm, caring and detached, and fulfilled my request to withdraw representation in an efficient and timely manner. The only thing I wanted from Lisa (as well as other attorneys I've worked with) was a more open mind regarding my self-employment that had become my breadwinner income for the last five years. I lost my job in healthcare in 2017 as a result of my health crisis. Had I followed Lisa's judgmental advice about my self-employment out of shame and "kept it hush", I would not have built it up to a sustainable venue to pay child support for the past five years. I also had help from an unexpected inheritance from a parental death which paved the way to become the parent I was not capable of becoming from that opportunity. I hope this unbiased, honest review helps bring to light Lisa's strengths and weaknesses as your attorney.
