Biography

Lisa D. Stern is a family law attorney who represents couples in all areas of domestic relations, including pre-nuptial agreements, divorce and custody cases, and post-judgment proceedings. She is often called upon to assist clients regarding the equitable division of assets, such as closely held businesses and large marital estates.

Lisa is an assertive advocate on behalf of her clients. She works closely with local psychologists, mediators, drug and alcohol assessors, private investigators, and other respected professionals in order to best represent her clients. Cognizant of the myriad financial and business issues that accompany the dissolution of marriage, Lisa counsels clients regarding decisions with respect to selling or keeping the marital home, division of retirement accounts, and support matters.

Lisa is at the forefront of the emerging issues confronting members of the LGBT community as they navigate the uncharted waters of marriage, second-family adoption, divorce, and child custody issues. Her advocacy on behalf of community members led her to be selected to be a board member of Fair Michigan, a nonprofit organization committed to obtaining equality for members of the LGBT community.
