I have had the pleasure of working with Lisa Simantob for many years. She has assisted me and many senior members of our company in crafting and documenting complex leases, negotiating vendor contracts, working with tenant legal issues, reviewing business contracts and advising many of our clients the best way to navigate potential legal issues.

Lisa brings a depth of legal intelligence to each project, but, more importantly, she fully understands the business ramifications and is able to steer any given issue to her clients’ most favorable position. She is extremely honest and demonstrates the highest levels of integrity. In any given situation she always communicates the possible avenues and how those decisions might overall affect an asset. She is extremely bright and creative.

Lisa is always available and responsible and very fair with her invoicing. I am assured whenever I contact Lisa that I will receive a complete scenario of all possibilities and how each relates to the goals of the ownership. Without hesitation, I would gladly recommend Lisa.

They say good lawyers are in the business of putting themselves out of business. While most lawyers look for ways to line their own pockets, it is rare to find one who seeks effective resolution quickly and efficiently.

Lisa Simantob is methodical and intuitive; her moves are calculated, and she is able to create a clear path from point A to point B. I had originally hired her to review a lease, but she now oversees all legal aspects of our business operations. She routinely reviews and corrects the work of world-class litigators, insurance defense attorneys, and employment law experts.

My only regret is that I didn’t meet her sooner. She has become a partner in our growth, and has easily saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars due to her ability to see things all the way through.

I work with attorneys all over the world, and few are as conscientious, careful, and pleasant to work with as Lisa Simantob. She combines all the qualities I look for when I refer my clients’ real estate work to her.
-Mervyn L. Hecht, Esq.

Lisa was a vital asset in helping me resolve a tricky legal mess outside my purview. I brought her a case that I couldn’t resolve despite months of anxiety and aggravation. She quickly and meticulously reviewed all the relevant documents and made professional recommendations that were well-thought out and easy to understand.

Always focused on the task at hand, she’s straight-forward, honest, and wastes no time on non-essentials. Lisa’s practical approach led to a successful resolution of my real estate dispute. I recommend her wholeheartedly

As a hotelier (owner and operator of a luxury hotel in Southern California) who has dealt with a multitude of lawyers regarding complex legal matters spanning over two decades throughout my profession, Ms. Lisa Simantob is the most extraordinary lawyer I have ever had! Ms. Simantob is incredibly knowledgable, efficient and honest. She is detail oriented and responsive.

Ms. Simantob stepped in and took immediate action to resolve a very high conflict case in a methodical manner with the utmost professionalism. Ms. Simantob focused on achieving the desired outcome in an expedient and cost-effective manner. I have referred Ms. Simantob to my family members and colleagues and will most definitely continue to use Simantob Law Group and Ms. Lisa Simantob for my business and real estate legal needs.

I am in the process of selling a business. Lisa has given me excellent advise on how to go about the process. Intelligent. Knows and understands how to proceed with all of the details. She is easy to communicate with.
– Carolyn Wolk

Lisa was impeccable in drafting and finalizing our Seller Carryback Mortgage Loan. She deployed the expertise and knowledge of large institutional lenders, for a simple small guy like us. So who wouldn’t hire someone with Lisa’s expertise to protect hard earned money lent to a Buyer?

Lisa worked late at night and always responded immediately when called upon. She’s honest and works fast, no nonsense gets to the point (yes, she’s paid by the hour). And I very much appreciated the very “tight” docs she wrote. But most of all, it’s her business acumen that sets her apart from other attorneys. We didn’t just need legal docs, we also needed experienced biz advice to structure and draft them accordingly.

Thank you Lisa, you’re a rare breed!
