LEGAL ASSISTANT

Lisa Hart

Abigail chose family law because it is profoundly human.

She is drawn to the work not only for the legal complexity but also because it provides an opportunity to stand beside individuals and families during some of the most emotionally challenging times in their lives.  Grounded in empathy, clarity, and resolve, Abigail approaches each case with the understanding that behind every legal issue is a real person—often a parent, a child, or someone facing a major life transition. She is especially attuned to the stress that financial disputes cause and focuses on building the skills and perspective necessary to support clients through highly sensitive cases.

Abigail is energized by learning, collaborating with colleagues, and listening to clients’ stories to help them feel heard and supported. Her early legal experience has sharpened her instincts as a thoughtful advocate—someone who asks the right questions, digs into the facts, and communicates with care. She understands that trust lies at the heart of every attorney-client relationship, and she takes that responsibility seriously.

As she expands her practice, Abigail remains focused on what initially drew her to family law: the opportunity to make a difference, one client at a time.
