    Lisa Monette

    Lisa Monette is a Junior Paralegal at The Harris Law Firm in Colorado who brings a background in financial services and a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® (CDFA®) designation to her work in family law. The CDFA® designation focuses on the financial side of divorce, including how decisions about property, support, and retirement can affect a person’s future. Lisa has wanted to work in the legal field since she was little, drawn by an interest in the law and, more importantly, in helping people.

    Lisa’s knowledge of divorce financial analysis and her experience preparing Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs), the court orders used to divide retirement accounts and pension benefits, help clients and attorneys make sense of complicated financial information. She is persistent and resourceful, and she is always ready to dig into research until she finds the answer she needs.

    Lisa believes divorce is about much more than legal documents and financial settlements. It is a major life transition, and she believes people deserve compassion, dignity, and respect without judgment. She listens, stays approachable, and takes the time to explain what comes next so an overwhelming process feels a little more manageable. One of the most meaningful compliments she has received was being called a “lifesaver” by a client going through divorce, and she will always value knowing her work made a difference during such a difficult time.

    Lisa is a Colorado native who grew up in  Lafayette, between Boulder and Denver. She is a proud mom of two adult children, whom she raised as a single mother, and a devoted cat mom to a timid tabby and a lovable calico. She enjoys photography, reading, exploring Colorado, and time with family and friends, and she appreciates humor and the little things that make life interesting. She previously served as Treasurer on the board of  Front Range Divorce Center, dba WINGS – Women Inspiring a Network of Growth and Support, a nonprofit organization.

      I cannot recommend Lea Ann Lyster enough! From start to finish, she was incredibly organized, responsive, and on top of every detail of my case. She was always prompt with deadlines, proactive in managing everything, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. I never had to worry about what needed to be done or whether something was being handled because I knew she was on top of it.

      This was especially valuable given the lack of communication and responsiveness from my child's father's legal representation. Having someone who consistently communicated, stayed ahead of deadlines, and advocated for me made an otherwise stressful process so much easier.

      I am also incredibly grateful that the Licensed Legal Paraprofessional (LLP) program exists in Colorado. Having access to knowledgeable, professional, and reliable legal representation at a more affordable cost is such an important option for people who need legal support but may not be able to afford traditional attorney fees. Lea Ann truly demonstrated how valuable this option can be.

      I am so thankful for her help, professionalism, and dedication throughout this process. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for dependable and supportive legal representation!

      She was always considering things that I wasn't able to anticipate.
      “

      I had a wonderful experience with my attorney, Meredith. She was super knowledgeable and professional and handled my case with care and compassion. My case was not especially complex but she was always considering things that I wasn't able to anticipate. I would go back to her in a heartbeat. My intake attorney, Sarah, was a great listener, offered an initial point of view and connected me with Meredith based on my needs and attorney fit. I was really impressed.

      Ally and the team tailored the trust to meet our family dynamics.
      “

      Working with The Harris Law Firm to set up our family trust was a professional and noteworthy experience. Previously, we felt overwhelmed by legal jargon and pages of trust documentation.

      Ally Herr, our attorney at the law firm, took the time to explain the purpose and processes of the trust, using clear terms and understandable explanations. Ally and the team tailored the trust to meet our family dynamics. Ally was personable and efficient, while demonstrating her knowledge and experience. Upon completion, Harris Law Firm gave us a comprehensive binder containing our asset, fundings and health wishes. We have peace of mind knowing the family's financial future is trust-protected. We highly recommend the Harris Law Firm.

      Heather Rubin and Jon Lebsack helped me during one of the most terrifying and exhausting times of my life. They were responsive, kind, and helped me understand the laws behind what was happening with my case. After having been with my spouse since I was 19, I felt completely alone and underwater. Heather and Jon were steady and capable people who guided me through the divorce process as painlessly as possible. I am thankful for their diligence and effort.
