"Timely, high-quality research is crucial to the success of the trials and motions I handle as a solo litigator. Lisa Solomon has always provided me with top-notch research, even on rush projects. In our discussions, she always relates the existing caselaw to the issues facing my clients. Working with Lisa is like working with a partner: she has become an essential resource in my office for all research projects."

"Lisa Solomon delivers what she promises. I use her on a continuing basis and receive high quality, ready-to-file, memos and briefs. She gives honest appraisals of the strengths and weaknesses of arguments and offers constructive suggestions or alternatives for helping me to achieve my clients' objectives. She reliably completes assignments on the timetable that we have agreed to—no last minute surprises! She's also simply a pleasurable person to deal with. I heartily recommend her services."

"Lisa Solomon is a true professional. We have just finished an appellate brief, under a tight deadline, and she was there every step of the way."
"I retained Lisa Solomon to research a matter involving an Illinois land trust. Her research and cogent analysis of the state of the law helped me to accurately evaluate my client's position. We ended up settling the matter on much better terms than I initially thought possible."
"Last year, a colleague referred me to Lisa Solomon for assistance in drafting a motion to vacate an order dismissing a personal injury case in which I represented the family of a retarded man who was badly injured in a fire. While the case was pending, my wife (who was also my secretary) was diagnosed with cancer, and died after a long illness. The repercussions from my wife's death triggered mental and physical illnesses, during which I failed after many reminders to put the case on the trial calendar. Lisa's research uncovered other cases involving dismissals resulting from a lawyer's impairment, and she helped me draft a motion explaining why dismissal was not justified in light of these facts. Thanks to Lisa's work, the dismissal was vacated. The case later settled for $3 million—a favorable figure attributable, in part, to some research Lisa did concerning damages.
I couldn’t have done it without Lisa: not only is she a powerful writer, but she also compassionately guided me through the process of drafting what was, for me, a difficult motion to make, helping to protect my interests and the interests of my client."

"Like most solo practitioners, there are times when I'm just swamped with work. Recently, during one of these busy periods, I needed to file a post-trial memo concerning the proper construction of an ambiguous term in a separation agreement. Lisa came to the rescue, clearly identifying the issues and writing a concise yet powerful brief that showed my client's case in the best possible light. Lisa is dependable and efficient, and her quick turn-around gave me plenty of time to review the draft she sent me before filing it.
Before finding Lisa, I used a large legal research and writing services company on a few occasions. The work product I received from that company was fairly generic and did not really incorporate the facts of my cases. By contrast, I have used Lisa Solomon's legal research and writing services a number of times over the last few years, and she always tailors her research to the facts of the case at hand, providing the basis for particularly persuasive legal arguments. Lisa is a lifesaver!"

"I recommend Lisa highly, not only for her writing abilities, but also for her ability to quickly grasp legal issues and to offer valuable insight as a sounding board. I would not hesitate to call upon Lisa for assistance in the future."
"I have worked with [Lisa] on family law cases for the past six years, and each time her work has been professional, diligent, accurate and cost-effective."
General practice concentrating in agriculture and environmental law
"When an emergency hit and I needed legal research done quickly, Lisa was the first person who came to mind. She was very good at honing in on the precise legal question that needed [to be] addressed in court for my oral argument. In terms of legal research, she not only met my expectations . . . , she exceeded them."
"I think that [Lisa] did a fantastic job of taking... somewhat of a complicated case that had been ongoing for many years and really grasping it very quickly and... identifying the issues...very quickly and very effectively. I also enjoyed working with her because of her candor and her ability to analyze the situation realistically...."
Professional licensee and small business representation
"I was facing a big motion for partial summary judgment and came to Lisa because I needed a little bit of help researching some of the issues . . . . After speaking with Lisa, I was able to crystallize some of the issues that concerned me and, instead of responding to the motion . . . , I decided, with my client, that it was probably a good idea to try to settle the case. As a result of Lisa's input, I was able to obtain a settlement that was much more favorable than that which I originally thought I was going to get."
"My firm retained Lisa...to help us with...research and drafting of a presentencing submission in a federal criminal case....Lisa was very efficient and thorough in her research, and her writing style was very clear and very persuasive. She was a very easy person to work with and she always delivered on time."
"Lots of us are way too busy to do a lot of in-depth legal research ourselves . . . I like Lisa because she's very smart about this [and] she helps me narrow the issues and frame the issues that I'm thinking about."
"Lisa's research was impeccable and thorough, and we found her writing to be clear and to the point. Lisa's arguments were cogent and convincing and she was just an absolute pleasure to work with."

" . . . I had a vacation scheduled and was up against a deadline on an appellate brief. Gave Lisa the job, returned from vacation—the appellate brief was done with almost zero changes to be made . . . ."
"After two decades of business litigation practice, I admit to being quite demanding about how accurate, complete, analytical, creative, responsive and cost-effective work that is done for me must be. Lisa has met and exceeded these high standards."
" . . . . Working with Lisa has enabled me to devote my time to being in court and doing the other things that I need to do to be successful in a very, very tough, demanding and competitive profession . . . . She's very, very, very good at what she does."
" . . . . Lisa has often come to my rescue when I've been in a jam, whether it's because I got suddenly hit with a summary judgment motion while preparing for a trial of another case or if it's perhaps because I need a real appellate maven to handle an appeal for me. . . Lisa has continued to be an asset to my office and I'm sure she'd be an asset to any office that uses her services."
" . . . I’ve had occasion to work with Lisa several times through the years and find her to be the consummate professional. The quality of her research and writing is excellent. Lisa is responsive to time constraints and filing deadlines and I never had to worry that her briefs would not be delivered to me on time. She is proactive with legal strategies and analyses, and she’s a great sounding board."
