Firm Summary

Lisa has been practicing law in Vermont for 30 years and has been an owner of her firm for many years. The reason she has focused on real estate law was to be able to offer the type of service that creates an ongoing relationship with her clients and their families. As you buy your first home, have your first children, get ready for retirement, and all of the milestones along the way, there are legal issues that affect every area of your life. By focusing our practice on the needed legal services in real estate, business law, estate planning and probate administration, this firm is available to provide counsel in the areas that affect the majority of people during their lifetime. By developing a relationship with our clients, Lisa am able to provide a wider range of advice and solutions to meet their needs. While there is a transactional element to representation in this area, there is much more to these areas that can be achieved with a broader approach to client service and understanding of the long-term objectives.

PERSONAL LIFE
My husband and daughter keep me busy as does our dogs Jack and Oz and our four wonderful horses Maaike, Boo, Gigi and Merlin. I enjoy our horse farm with 30 acres and try to find time to continue riding and showing in dressage events in the northeast. I am an avid boater and try to keep our boat out from May through October to enjoy the beauty of Lake Champlain. I love to cook, travel and spend time with friends and family.
