Riisa & her staff were more responsive & supportive in 10 minutes than the attorney I had in place. My previous attorney failed me in a most urgent situation & Riisa offered me advice & assistance when I needed it. I still may need her services & if I do, she’ll be the attorney I call. Riisa, you don’t know how much it means to your clients or even a consult like me, to have your help in such a stressful situation. Thank you.

Riisa and her team were instrumental in helping me with some old outstanding family issues. They did what they said they would do and even went beyond to support my needs. Great job!!

Very helpful and knowledge. Looking for help with custody modification. She helped walk us through the steps we need to get started and we will absolutely being using Ms. Peterson when we are ready to move forward!!

Riisa and her entire staff are exactly what I needed. They are compassionate and thoughtful. They are also extremely good at what they do. I hired Riisa to represent me during a high conflict divorce. She never pushed me in a certain direction, but gave me all the options. When I needed her during an emergency, she and her staff (I adore Lisa!) dropped everything and helped me get protection for me and my kids. I know they are a busy practice, but Riisa always makes me feel like her first priority. They have been upfront regarding expenses and are worth every penny!

My case is a challenge for every attorney, the reason is that it is international: title transfer of a condo in Beijing China while the two parties are both in America . The related laws and administrations are very different between these two countries. Riisa had to go through numerous confusing materials including Chinese files I provided, it was easy to be dragged into small details and distracted. However, She understood the whole process well , able to sort the information out and present only the critical part to the judge. Her court performance was outstanding: she was quick in response, and held on to the most important point. I could not have got my valuable Bejing condo without her powerful work. There is a bit of things that I still hope to improve although they did not affect the essential success of my case. Riisa must be very busy dealing with multiple law suits at one time. Sometime it is a little difficult to get hold of her. I hope the communication between us could be more prompt.

Riisa handled my child support case and I am beyond satisfied with the out come! She did everything she had to, up against my ex husbands very aggressive lawyer, to get me the support I deserved!! She even managed to keep us from having to go to trial, which is something I initially told her I wanted to avoid if possible! Would definitely recommend Mrs. Petersen to anyone with family court needs!

As difficult as my divorce and custody battle was, which seemed never ending. Riisa was very easy to work with and handled my frustrations with the case with the utmost professionalism and class. She worked diligently to make sure that I received the best outcome in my case. I would most defiantly recommend her to anyone in my situation and I already have!!

I chose Rissa Petersen and her team to represent me in a divorce case with a completely unreasonable person and was extremely pleased with both her representation and the outcome of the case, which was far better than I could have hoped for. Not only did she protect me from a system that was difficult to navigate but she gave me outstanding advise and helped to protect me from myself by ensuring that I knew my all of my options. She and her team are consummate professionals and always kept me informed and updated on all aspects of my case at all times. I would recommend her to anyone who needs an excellent attorney and is willing to listen and accept her counsel.

Attorney Riisa Petersen represented me in child support and custody case. She is a very knowledgeable and compassionate family attorney who knows her stuff. Riisa and Lisa we're always available on the phone/email and respond to my queries promptly. Above all she is a great human being who genuinely cares for her clients. I not only found an excellent attorney but a great friend as well.

Communication was always clear during the process of my year long divorce process. This is not a fun or easy time, Rissa looked out for me and my best interest. When all I could see was my own emotions she helped me see the big picture of what needed to happen. I am very pleased with the outcome
