About Lisa Beth
Lisa Beth Older has practiced law in New York for many years, building a steady practice centered on family law matters. She attended the University of California, Los Angeles, where she studied sociology and later earned her Juris Doctor from Southwestern University School of Law in 1983. Those formative years set the stage for a career that bridges practical courtroom work and day-to-day counsel for people facing personal legal challenges.
After law school, Older established a practice that allowed her to work closely with clients on family law issues. Over time she formed the Law Offices of Lisa Beth Older, where she handles cases that range from divorce and custody disputes to related domestic relations matters. Her work is largely client-facing, involving negotiations, drafting agreements and representing clients in court when settlement is not possible.
Her memberships in professional organizations reflect a sustained interest in family law and local bar activities. She is a member of the New York State Bar Association’s Family Law section and belongs to the New York County Lawyers Association. These affiliations keep her connected to developments in state law and to the legal community in New York City.
Colleagues describe Older as methodical and practical. She tends to approach cases by isolating the immediate legal issues and then outlining possible paths forward. That approach shapes how she prepares for hearings and mediations. In contested matters she emphasizes evidence and procedural readiness. In negotiated cases she focuses on terms that parties can realistically live with after the case ends.
Older’s practice structure is that of a solo or small firm environment, where she acts as the primary point of contact for clients. That setup allows her to guide a matter from intake through resolution, whether by agreement or trial. Her office handles the routine filings and courtroom appearances typical in family law, and she routinely advises clients on procedural steps and likely outcomes.
As of 2026, Lisa Beth Older continues to practice in New York through the Law Offices of Lisa Beth Older. Her current work centers on family law matters, providing representation and counsel in divorce, custody and related domestic relations issues.
