Lissa McKinney helped us out with some pretty scary issues at the time involving some overlap with criminal, DCF and educational issues. The situation was overwhelming for us and we were unsure of the future and impact on our child. Not only was she able to defend us from an unjust accusation, her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to my family. We are eternally grateful for her service and enjoyed working with Lissa McKinney.
She knew more than any other lawyer I contacted regarding my case, was extremely competent, and offered me the best rate. She was great!
My family and I have used Lissa numerous times to help us navigate the legal system. She is a force to be reckoned with in the court room. Prior to any proceedings Lissa conducts thorough research and prepares confident presentations. She's extremely knowledgeable of processes and proceedings. We've always been very happy using her as our lawyer and will continue to do so in the future!
Recently I had the pleasure of working with Lissa McKinney on a legal issue. I found Lissa to be extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter at hand - that's what I would expect when hiring a lawyer. What I did not expect was the effort that Lissa put into her work - she gave 110%. Her attention to detail was second to none,she took the time to explain everything in terms that an average person could understand and her recommendations showed her ability to think out-of-the box to get positive outcomes for clients. If you are looking for an attorney with integrity who is extremely knowledgeable, reliable and results oriented, then you don't have to look any further.
There isn't enough space in this box to talk about all of Lissa McKinney's positive attributes. I hired Lissa in 2012 to handle a situation where my former employer had withheld my rightfully accrued vacation pay after I left the company. She has been nothing short of aggressive and tenacious as she continues to fight for what I'm still owed. Lissa is fair with her costs, diligent with her research and fact-checking, and she constantly communicates with me regarding updates with the case. There is no one else other than Lissa I would want fighting for me on my behalf.
In times of need Lissa is the professional for me, for either simple advice or actual court cases. I have worked with Lissa on several occasions including an auto accident, a family stalker and an incident including a wrongful allegation by a local police department. I always have a sense of being taken care of and listened to when Lissa is involved in a case with myself or family members. I feel I can always trust Lissa to do what is in my best interest.

I have only hired Lissa once, but have consulted with her on several sensitive legal matters dating back to 2004. Lissa transitions clearly and smoothly from careful listener to thoughtful strategist, to passionate advocate, and then to helpful and far-sighted synthesizer of relevant results and their implications. Lissa was first recommended to me by my sister and her husband, both attorneys - I recall him telling me that Lissa was a fair yet fierce advocate for her clients. I saw that played out on my behalf in court, in a high-stakes moment that appeared before us quite unexpectedly. I have also gotten to know Lissa as a fellow parent, and find her to be just as intense yet tremendously accessible as she is on the job. The critical difference - and one that I think speaks volumes about her - is that Lissa is just as open to being questioned about parenting as she is fully prepared and empowered to anticipate and thwart challenges in court. Taken together, these attributes reflect both Lissa's professionalism and her groundedness. I would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone, and wish her company - if not her friendship - upon everyone.
