Lisa Gill Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Germantown
Lisa J. Gill is licensed in Mississippi and Tennessee, active in both states, and has successfully represented clients in both states at the trial and appellate levels. She has represented clients in alternative dispute resolution options outside of court including both mediation and arbitration. Prior to becoming licensed as an attorney, she worked as a paralegal providing trial and litigation assistance and assisted in numerous bench and jury trials, both at the state and federal level. She has prior experience in the areas of construction, real estate, business law, and employment law.Her Father was a local electrical estimator and subcontractor. She spent many Saturdays in her youth doing homework in job site trailers and at the local Memphis Builders Exchange (before the days of AutoCAD). Her Father taught her that the difference between good and great is “all in the details.” He could recite entire sections of the NEC from memory and still explain in layman’s terms what it meant without ever once making someone feel less than. She watched him study with many apprentices to help them obtain their master electrician’s license. He acknowledged that getting the details right was powerful and important because it could mean the difference between a safe or unsafe job site or finished job. He defined “servant leader” with his actions. She applies that same passionate dedication and principle to her legal practice. Electricity, like legal issues, are not to be taken lightly. She also inherited her father’s poor taste in puns.Lisa concentrates her practice in all areas of family law, including divorce, child custody/parental issues, child support, termination of parental rights, adoption, paternity and juvenile court matters. Lisa also handles pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements and LGBTQ+ family law. Lisa Gill has a passion for complex case matters, including working with families that have mental health and/or addiction issues, asset protection, business valuation, buy-sell agreements, and complex business entity restructuring and/or addressing “workout” issues. Lisa is a small business owner and was one prior to becoming a lawyer.. Lisa’s first priority is to take complex matters and get right to the heart of it early to develop a strategy for a client’s global resolution. Her second priority is to provide strategic counsel with as much discretion as can be afforded to each client’s unique situation. She has personally experienced divorce. She knows that clients want an attorney that aggressively works to reach resolution while offering counsel in a way that allows clients to maintain their dignity.. As a friend’s father once told her, “you must offer the olive branch but, ready the sword.” She takes that advice to heart. She is results-oriented and efficient. She works to resolve matters through negotiation or mediation when possible while also keeping the case poised for trial if negotiations are unfruitful. That is why she gathers necessary information from her clients from the very outset of the representation. She and her team work to ensure that their clients do not have the added anxiety of preparing at the very last minute or being unprepared should their case proceed to trial. Her very first mentor taught her 20 years ago that “unfortunately, nothing settles a case quite like a trial date.” Personally, she believes that Sun Tzu said it best when he offered “The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.” Stil, she has come to accept that she cannot control whether or not the other party acknowledges the truth of that principle. That is why she “offers the olive branch but, readies the sword.”. EducationTHE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS CECIL C. HUMPHREYS SCHOOL OF LAW: Juris DoctorTHE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS: B.P.S, magna cum laude.
