Lisa Fraas has been my family law attorney for the last few years. My case has been complicated and has required time and time again for Lisa to go above and beyond and she has. Sometimes that has meant I need a referral, sometimes it means making calls while she’s on vacation, whatever may be required she gets it done. I sleep at night knowing she is on the job I highly highly recommend Lisa she is professional, punctual and presentable in and out of court.

I started this divorce process terrified of the outcome and the contentious nature of conflict. Fraas Mediation has a gem in Lisa, she simply and concisely outlines and moves you through what now seems like the simplest process, providing a sounding board for both my ex husband and me that was fair, considerate and compassionate, laying a safe foundation for us to communicate and coparent with grace. Let her help you to step through that open door to your new life with relief.
