John’s Rate-a-Lawyer: Lisa Meyer
Filed Under John's Rate-a-Lawyer, Lawyers
What comes to mind for me when I think of Lisa Helfend Meyer, Esquire, is a very large and hungry shark! When you meet Lisa at her totally tricked out office suite in Century City, you won’t find a “large hungry shark,” you will find one of this city’s best family law attorneys that money can buy! And you will also notice that she is rather petite, and always well-dressed…extremely well-dressed (the shoes)! What she spends on handbags alone could support a small third world nation. This lawyer is first-class all the way and that is how she rolls! And she is one of those lawyers who will travel if her clients need her to…First Class!
I have to be honest here, I have known Lisa and her partners, Dana Lowy and Doreen Olson, for many years, and have watched them grow to the stars. She and her firm represent some of Hollywood’s finest. The offices of Meyer, Olson and Lowy take up 1/2 of the 14th floor at the very prestigious address at 10100 Santa Monica Boulevard, Century City. Lisa and her partners hand pick the staff and have several junior lawyers to do the grunt work, but don’t worry — when you hire Lisa, Dana or Doreen, this will be who you see in court! There will be no “hire a shark” and when you show up for your court date you find a “flounder!” Not here. Lisa Helfend Meyer will be there, standing beside you and doing your bidding! She will tear and shred, and her vocabulary? Oh, just wish that someone, anyone on the other side pisses her off! That alone will be worth the price of admission! And one more thing, be nice to her Executive Assistant, Carey, she is the gate keeper at this firm and has been with Lisa and Dana since day one! You will be well advised to have a check book at the ready; all this top shelf lawyering does not come cheap, nor should it! Plus remember that hand bag collection?

John, you could not be more on the nose. Lisa is the finest family law attorney in the United States.If I was on the other side, I would immediately rip off all my clothes and be ready to live in a barrel in a one room apartment in central California with a single light bulb hanging from the ceiling.
I’m probably a little prejudiced as I am married to her.
I second that, Ron, as a former client and dear friend - i was certainly grateful to have Lisa on my side against my wretched ex and his family as she shrewdly destroyed their credibility and vindicated me and my family. She was especially brilliant in her use of my husband, Richard on the witness stand. The icing on our cake that day? when my ex was found in contempt! That was sweet. She is undoubtedly the best!
