About Lakisha
Before I begin to tell you about my academic awards and achievements, I want to take a moment to tell you that I've stood in your shoes. I truly appreciate how intimidating the legal process can be to clients who are fighting to protect their interests, and those of their children. As a witness to domestic violence and the child of a broken home, I know all too well the emotional and physical journey to create a new vision for your life.
I was drawn into Family law because of my own personal circumstances. My three month old nephew was placed up for adoption without my brother's consent. He was placed with a family in Canada before we even knew he was missing. My entire family was devastated and didn't have a clue about what to do next. As the only attorney in the family, everyone looked to me for answers. I had never touched a family law case before except for a clinic in law school. This time, there was so much at stake.
Needless to say, I was scared to lose him and knew I had to do whatever I could. I started in Family Court in NY and worked my way to Canada to pick him up almost three months later! Although, it was probably the scariest thing I have every done, it was by far the most rewarding. This helped me realize that my potential is so much greater than my fears. Every time I look at my nephew, I am reminded at how blessed I am to have been able to earn a law degree to help others. This personal story of triumph is what fuels my passion to be a compassionate legal advocate. One who strives for a holistic solution to the situation, rather than just a legal one.
Before starting my own firm in 2009, I served as a prosecutor in Pennsylvania and a law guardian (children’s attorney) in New Jersey. I am admitted to practice law in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. The first in my family to complete college, I am a proud graduate of Columbia University and Temple Law School. As the founder of a thriving law practice, a wife, and a mother of two wonderful children, I know the importance my own wellbeing plays in having a healthy family and successful business. I am certified in Reiki and practice (Hot) Yoga.
