Attorney Information
Overview
Lisa D. Stern is a family law attorney with over 30 years of Michigan family law experience who represents clients in all areas of domestic relations, including prenuptial agreements, divorce and custody cases, and post-judgment proceedings. Operating a deliberately selective practice in Bloomfield Hills, she gives clients throughout metro Detroit and Oakland County direct, one-on-one access to an attorney at every stage.
She is often called upon to assist clients with the equitable division of assets, including closely held businesses, business valuations and large marital estates, in high-asset and complex divorces.
Lisa also brings significant experience representing local celebrities, professional athletes and entertainers – skillfully overcoming the unique financial complexities of temporary or variable large incomes while maintaining the absolute discretion these high-profile roles demand. She also provides sophisticated, authoritative guidance in gray divorce matters, protecting substantial accumulated wealth and retirement assets during later-in-life marital transitions.
Lisa is an assertive advocate for her clients. She works closely with local psychologists, mediators, forensic accountants, drug and alcohol assessors, private investigators, and other respected professionals to best represent her clients. Aware of the diverse financial and business issues that accompany the dissolution of marriage, she counsels clients on decisions regarding the sale or retention of the marital home, the division of retirement accounts, and support matters.
Lisa has been at the forefront of the legal issues emerging for members of the LGBT community as they face the uncharted waters of marriage, second-family adoption, divorce and child custody issues. Her advocacy on behalf of community members led to her selection as a board member of Fair Michigan, a previously run nonprofit organization committed to achieving equality for members of the LGBT community.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
