No matter what the case involves if you're looking for a skilled attorney then hire Justin Lisi."…
-I would recommend him without reservation
"I had a very wonderful experience working with Attorney Justin. I was skeptical of working with a lawyer to get my speeding ticket dismissed because I wasn’t sure I would succeed or if it would be worth the cost but he worked with me on the price, and today my ticket was dismissed potentially saving me lots of money on insurance. He is also very accessible which is not common with lawyers so I absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend.” Via Google
