The Law Offices of Lisa J Mendes

A friend trying to help me with my child custody case chose Lisa after talking with her over the phone. When I met with her, I liked her immediately and she truly cared about the well being of my children. Not having any experience in this, she made suggestions to save me money, she was straight forward, hard working and aggressive in the court room. She and her office were quick to respond to questions and I was made to feel as if I was her only client. Lisa’s associate Rebecca (Becky) Harris was just as diligent and hard working in my case. If you need the help of an attorney, talk to Lisa.

As a young female dealing with a harassment case, it was such a relief to find a group of passionate young professional women who really knew their stuff. I especially appreciated their quick response time and willingness to be available on short notice, and to travel extra distance for my case. All-​around positive experience and I’m so glad I sought their help. Shoutout to Rebecca (Becky) Harris who served as my attorney in a pinch and met me on a Saturday morning to accomodate a crazy schedule.

A divorce is never easy, which is why it is so important to have a diligent and honorable attorney on your side. Lisa is that attorney. She has the ability to help manage realistic expectations, gives the benefit of her expertise, and is focused and dedicated to getting things done efficiently and with expediency. My ex tried to make things as difficult as possible and refused to negotiate or offer a settlement, ultimately forcing us go to trial on both the bifurcation and the property disbursement. Lisa was focused and dedicated and relentless in her representation. Despite opposing counsel’s lack of integrity, she fought the good fight and ultimately exposed my ex’s dishonest attempt to prolong our divorce.
I had another attorney when I started the process, and I knew right away I had made a bad choice. Best decision I ever made was to fire that lawyer and hire Lisa. I would recommend her to anyone dealing with the unpleasantness of family law matters.

I have personally known Miss Lisa Mendes now for over 10 years and I can say that its very rare to meet someone with this passion for giving her best and of the clients interest of doing the right thing while having a positive outcome. Her integrity and hard work while always being on your side will impress upon you and whatever the situation is at stake, know that will be happy you worked with this law firm. 5 Star Attorney.

I was referred to Lisa by a friend. I met with her to review my child custody situation. After talking with her she advised that I didn’t need her help, simply because my case was pretty straight forward. I was shocked. An honest attorney who wasn’t trying to get thousands of unnecessary dollars?! Upon her advice I did not retain her as my attorney but rather on a consultation basis. As events would come up in my case, she and I would meet. She would review and advise of my next steps. She reviewed all my correspondence with my sons father, the counselor and all of my court paperwork. She gave me every tool I needed and guided me through my entire case. Needless to say, the case she helped me build and supported me through resulted in my sons dad not even showing up for court! The case was dropped! Lisa was always prompt in returning my calls and emails, despite her demanding schedule. I am forever grateful for her honesty with me as well as her guidance through a rough part of my custody battle. I have recommended her to my friends and if I ever get into a heated battle again I know exactly who I will call. I promise you won’t be disappointed with the knowledge Lisa retains, her professionalism and her support and guidance. Many thanks to you Lisa from Nicholas and I!

Called about Divorce information. Person that answer said let me ask some questions. I started to explain the situation, then phones started ringing. I could tell she stop listening and eventually said just to hold. Not a very Professional answering system. In there office.

My husband and I found ourselves in a situation that we determined required legal assistance. From the first conversation I had with Lisa, I knew that she would be the strong support that we needed. She was direct and honest while being understanding at the same time. Our case was originally classified incorrectly and having legal representation is the only way we were able to get the matter settled fairly. I strongly recommend her! Her counsel was well worth the investment.

So glad to have had Lisa’s help with my son’s legal issue. It was certainly something I’d never dealt with before and her expertise was so calming and helpful! I would recommend her to anyone looking for counsel that’s well rounded and speaks plain english to those of us who don’t understand Legaleez!

I hired Lisa to represent me in my family law, custody case. She came on board right before the holidays of last year 2013. So far, it has been the best move I have ever made. Lisa is kind, gentle, prepared and doesn’t pull any punches. I like the fact that she is aggressive when she needs to be yet can approach things with a gentle heart if that is what’s called for. I am amazed at how she has the ability to put yourself in my shoes, as a mother, trying to protect my children.
Lisa gets 5 stars from me.

Lisa is helping me through my divorce. In the Tri-​Valley area, where it is hard to find an affordable attorney, she comes at a great rate! She is fair, down-​to-​earth, no nonsense and responsive. I highly recommend her!

Lisa is a real pro. Thorough, insightful and a great strategist/​tactician. Her methods were successful and case was dismissed. I would recommend her to anyone in need of expert and caring legal work.

Over the past 6 months i’ve been lucky enough to have had Lisa as my lawyer for a DUI case. She was always prompt, prepared, and comforting in a time of uncertainty. Not only would I recommend her, but she would also be my first call if I ever needed a lawyer to represent me again (although hopefully that never happens).

Lisa was amazingly helpful in a time of need… in all the times of need. She handled a demanding, stressful situation «working» with someone who was not reasonable nor pleasant to be around. She was able to get our needs met in a timely manner & her fees were fair. She was always available to us and always got back to us quickly. We felt like her only client!
