Experience

Employment law issues are complex and confusing whether you are an employee or an employer. The courts and various agencies that address employment related issues are difficult to navigate and without the proper guidance you can easily feel overwhelmed and powerless trapped in the firm grip of the legal agencies and courts.

Skill

You NEED an attorney who knows the law and will skillfully stand up on your behalf. You WANT an attorney who will stay in touch with you, answer your calls and keep you up to date on your case. Lisa Fentress is committed to providing you with both the stellar representation you require and the personal attention you deserve.

Just For You

Lisa takes the time to understand YOUR priorities because each client she helps has individual needs and concerns. Your situation is unique and requires a particularized approach that suits you. Lisa takes the time to listen to your goals and then she tailors her representation specifically to meet your needs.

LET’S TALK. REALLY. YOU AND ME.

Fentress Legal is all about talking to you, personally. We do not screen your calls. We do not put you on with the secretary. We do not let you go straight to voicemail. If you have a question for your attorney then you get to speak to your attorney.

If Lisa is in court, attending depositions, at a mediation or arbitration or otherwise occupied then she will let you know and will tell you when she will get back to you. And then she gets back to you. Your attorney should not be inaccessible or too busy to talk to you. Lisa’s job is to not only zealously represent you but also to explain the process to you and be your first resource for information, updates and advice.

So let’s get started. E-mail me to set up an initial consultation or you can call me at 202.246.8147 to start the conversation even sooner. I can give you an initial evaluation of your situation and you can discover that I am the right attorney for you.
