“Lisa is a master at her craft. Her reports are the best out there. She possesses a deep understanding of the justice system and has a wealth of contacts to draw from to assist clients in virtually every situation imaginable. Her hard work has paid tangible dividends for clients as they navigate the difficult waters of the justice system. I want her on my team in whenever it is possible. ”
“Lisa’s reports go above and beyond the typical pre-sentence report.
She taps into community resources, consults with the victims and
actively assists counsel in making the client a better person.”
“My office has hired Lisa Andreas to prepare defense PSI’s over the past few years. Her thoroughness is unparalleled. Lisa’s attention to detail is terrific. She interviews the client, other witnesses and prepares a report that is objective and always helpful to the court. The report provides background information as well as other factors that illuminate the client’s character and value system. Her reports include a multitude of information, including criminal history, remorse, and alternatives to incarceration for the court, all of which are relevant to sentencing. The report also provides the results of recidivism and psychological evaluations. Lisa is very familiar with the sentencing grids and other information that DOC relies upon in its recommendation to the court. Lisa often is able to contest the findings of the State PSI.
She always makes the client feel comfortable and assists them in preparing for the DOC presentence interview. I highly recommend Lisa Andreas as a defense PSI writer. She leaves no stone unturned and has a genuine concern for the client’s well- being, and that is unique. She provides exceptional service and a thorough analysis of all the sentencing factors. ”
“I value your work tremendously. Your sentencing mitigation work is by far the best I have seen. Your work on my cases over the years has been a part of the very positive results for many clients. You are diligent, thorough and dedicated to the client. Your ability to tell a strong, personal story for the client is unmatched by any one whose work in this area I have otherwise reviewed. I do not use anyone else willingly.”
“Your sentencing memorandum was extremely helpful and persuasive in getting a better than expected sentence and was extremely well written.”
“Lisa has been invaluable for her knowledge of community resources and her creativity in designing sentencing structures and ATR’s for my most difficult
clients. She is the person to go to when incarceration is on the line.”
“Your comprehesive memorandum was very well written and effective in addressing the factors the court considers regarding downward departures in federal court. ”
“I have used and will continue to use Ms. Andreas for private PSI work for a variety of reasons; her reports are always thorough, persuasive, and credible. She investigates my clients’ backgrounds much more thoroughly than the probation agents who produce the DOC PSIs ever do, and is qualified to conduct psychological evaluations, including psychosexual evaluations, and does them well. I cannot imagine using anyone else for this purpose. In just one example, the judge at sentencing declared that Ms. Andreas’s PSI report was the first such report she had ever seen (after more than 10 years on the bench) that was actually useful to her. That report made the difference between prison and probation in that case; the State wanted 7 to 10 years of initial confinement with some absurd amount of extended supervision afterwards, but the judge followed Ms. Andreas’s recommendation and placed my client on probation for a lengthy period of time instead, and crafted the judgment of conviction to ensure that my client got the help that he needed. I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Andreas for any sentencing mitigation needs you may have.”
