Reviews

I have recommended Alissa to several friends. I feel Alissa was very responsive, which is key. My divorce was incredibly ugly with threats of lawsuits and poverty so naturally I was a mess. I felt very supported by Alissa. The individual who gave a review claiming that Alissa is unethical is way off. I think she is by the book, never looses her cool, and a consummate professional. I used expletives constantly and Alissa never stooped to that level so I can't imagine her having outbursts in court. She is just not the outburst sort of person. Alissa is a very reasonable person, definitely has the children's best interest in mind as well as getting closure within a reasonable time frame.

I hired Alissa through a recommendation from another friend who is a corporate lawyer. She exceeded my expectations on all fronts and constantly encouraged me to work things out in a collaborative and constructive manner. She encouraged us to go through mediation, which we did. In the end, my ex-wife and I parted ways in a friendly manner and split the funds that met our collective needs. There were times that emotions got in the way of reason on my part and she constantly reminded me to keep the kids in mind, work things our through negotiations, and create an environment that allowed us to cooperate in raising our kids. Had she been selfish, she could have manipulated my temporary emotional outbursts to her own financial benefit, but she didn't.
