I was born and raised in the Midwest and still have a strong sense of loyalty to that area of the country.  I possess strong family values and place a lot of stock in forging long-lasting, personal relationships with my family, with friends, and with my past and current clients.  These things are important to me, which is why I gravitated toward this line of work in the first place, and which is why I have experienced success in what I do.  My passion is for helping families through a very difficult time and I know how important it is for everyone involved (especially the children) to get through the process as quickly, gracefully and respectfully as possible.  I never shy away from a challenge so I have focused my practice on representing individuals involved in high-conflict, high-asset family law situations.  I am extremely aggressive if I need to be, but at the same time, I understand that a swift and amicable resolution is often what is best for my clients.. When I am not working, I enjoy coaching, travelling, playing softball, and spending time with my beautiful and supportive wife Alex and my sons Dylan and Landon.  I also love watching college footbal.  O-H-.....

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.

When new clients arrive at my office, they are sometimes hopeless.  They have heard horror stories about the legal system.  Part of my job is restoring hope and convincing clients that the system is not going to eat them alive.  I am fond of telling clients when they first walk into my office that I'm sorry they are here.  I understand that most people would prefer to lead lawyer-free lives.  My middle name is Earl and that is what my friends call me and that is what I want my clients to call me.  If you want to hire me and I think enough of you and your case to accept the representation, I will be your highly educated friend, wise confidant and fierce advocate who will fight for your full recovery or vindication.. My practice consists mostly of the following types of cases:  Personal Injuries, Divorce, Child Custody, and Criminal Defense.. PERSONAL INJURY:  As a first year law student, I went to work for a law firm  preparing personal injury cases for trial. During my last year of law school, I accepted employment with State Auto Insurance as a Claims Adjuster...in many ways, the exact opposite role!  I did this because I wanted to know how both sides of a personal injury case worked and thought.  Since then, I have dedicated a substantial portion of my career to keeping abreast of personal injury law and trial strategies for people who have been hurt in car, truck and motorcycle accidents.  I'm sorry you've been hurt and I will do everything I can to make it right.  I love fighting for clients I believe in.. DIVORCE AND CHILD CUSTODY: I am a 49 year old father of four kids...11, 13,18 and 21.   I am divorced from the mother of my oldest two kids.  I am not particularly proud of that, but I am not ashamed of it either.  I understand that marriage is unbelievably difficult in even the best of circumstances.   My oldest kids were about 2 and 5 when the divorce occurred.  By that time in my career, I had successfully tried a number of divorces, but in retrospect, going through my own probably taught me the most about this area of the law.  I empathize with my clients because I know what's at stake. I am now happily married to the mother of my youngest two and am proof that rainbows sometimes do follow rain.  Chances are that no matter how unique your own circumstance is, if I have not seen it before in a case I have tried, I have lived through it personally.  I have the knowledge and experience that can help you through it too.. CRIMINAL DEFENSE:  What can I say?  I went to college!  I have always cheered for the little guy...the underdog. Make no mistake about it... in a criminal prosecution, the Defendant is the underdog.  The government has a full staff of lawyers who sometimes believe the police can do no wrong  and that the word "defendant" is equivalent to the word "criminal".  Every criminal defendant needs a champion with the heart of a teacher...to teach the government the difference. DUI convictions have devastating consequences and you cannot afford NOT to have an experienced lawyer in your corner when facing such charges.  I can, and will, help.
