Five questions for Lisa
1. What is the most important piece of advice you give your clients?
“Get help early on. Don’t wait until a dispute has already escalated before involving a lawyer – engage one to help prevent escalation in the first place. By consulting a lawyer at an early stage, you stay in control and can often avoid much bigger problems.”
2. What is your first step when a new case comes in?
“By creating a clear overview. I take the time to understand the full story. I don’t just look at the legal facts, but also at the interests of everyone involved. Only when all the pieces of the puzzle are on the table can you determine the best way forward.”
3. Which qualities best describe you as a lawyer?
“Honesty, perseverance and a strategic mindset.”
4. What is an important factor in achieving a successful outcome?
“Openness. The more information I have, the better I can advise my clients. Sometimes a client believes certain information isn’t important, while that one detail can make all the difference.”
5. What can clients expect from you?
“That I’ll be genuinely involved, communicate clearly and stay in control of the process. We work together as a team, and I make sure we stay on course. Together, we strive for a solution that truly works for you.”
