Lisa M. Potter

Lisa M. Potter puts 20 years of solid legal experience to work for you in the areas of family, immigration, criminal law, and civil litigation. She worked her way through college while raising 4 children. She attended the University of West Alabama and graduated Magna Cum Laude and #1 in her major with an accounting degree. She then attended Howard University and earned her Masters in Business Administration and finished #2 in her class, while raising 2 small children. She then attended Georgetown University Law, one of the nations most prestigious law schools, and earned her Juris Doctorate (law degree), followed by a Master of Law Degree (LLM) in taxation after having her 3rd child. She has received numerous awards and distinctions throughout her academic career such as Whos who among American law students, and the National Association of Professional Women - Woman of the Year award, to name a few. She is exclusively focused on Family law and immigration law. Lisas passion for Immigration law stems from being an immigrant to this country and fighting to achieve the American dream, like so many of her clients. Equally, her passion for Family Law stems from being a mother and wife who has gone through the pain and disappointment of the breakup of a family. Having been in the family law system, she brings a unique perspective to her clients because she has walked a mile in their shoes and as such treats her clients with the compassion and attention to detail that she desired when she was a family law client. She is a fierce advocate for children and sees her 4 children in every child that she encounters. She balances her clients wants and needs with the reality of their situation. She understands that she is a counselor at law and has to alternate between both attorney and counselor at any given moment. Clients can always expect her to tell them the truth, even when its difficult to hear and she will not work on a case just to bill a client. She honestly has to believe that she will be able to help a client navigate the emotional and financial landmines in the family law system. Her goal is for her clients to feel that she gave them the very best legal representation at an affordable price, while never skimping on her pursuit of justice for her clients. She considers herself a legal warrior.
