Drawing from over three decades of legal expertise, Lisa R. Murray operates as a legal practitioner at Chase, Berenstein and Murray, Counselors at Law, extending her services in the realm of family law from the law firm’s headquarters situated in Burlingame, California.

Ms. Murray allocates her professional efforts proportionately among family law mediation, Collaborative Practice, and litigation. In her capacity as the proprietor of Chase, Berenstein and Murray, Counselors at Law, her primary commitment lies in aiding clients in the amicable and equitable resolution of family-related matters, particularly those involving children. She holds the belief that mediation and Collaborative Practice furnish parents with diverse avenues to chart their children’s future and caregiving arrangements. Nevertheless, she acknowledges that there are instances where resorting to litigation remains the most suitable course of action.

Beyond her competence in litigation and mediation, Ms. Murray is proficient in the comprehensive team-oriented approach of Collaborative Practice. Through this method, spouses are empowered to foster open lines of communication and navigate their conflicts outside of court proceedings. This approach is grounded in the understanding that unaddressed communication challenges before divorce negotiations can lead to dissatisfaction for both parties with the ultimate outcome. The Collaborative model encompasses collaboration with experts in finance, mental health, vocation, and real estate, ensuring that the couple receives the necessary support to efficiently and satisfactorily reach resolution.

Holding licenses in California and Hawaii, Ms. Murray maintains affiliations with family law segments of state and local bar associations. Additionally, she holds membership in Collaborative Practice San Mateo County, Collaborative Practice San Francisco, and the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals.
