Elisabeth Wolter

Senior Attorney

Elisabeth 'Lisa' Wolter brings more than 20 years of experience in family law across the Bay Area. She has handled complex divorce, custody, support, and domestic violence matters, and has worked both in private practice and within the San Francisco Unified Family Court.

She also served as Supervising Attorney for the San Francisco Bar Association Family Law Project, where she worked directly with individuals navigating the system without representation. That perspective shows up in how she practices.

Her approach is clear, practical, and grounded in what actually moves a case forward. She is known for giving clients direction when things feel uncertain and for keeping matters from escalating unnecessarily.

She also trains attorneys across California through the Practising Law Institute, reflecting both depth and leadership in the field.

Lisa strengthens how we think, how we practice, and how we serve our clients.
