Divorce and separation lawyer | Feb 05

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have had the honor of working with Alisa for the past 12 years. I can attest that Alisa’s mastery of the law, client centric approach and effective negotiation skills enable her to zealously advocate for her clients. During law school Alisa participated in the child advocacy clinic where she served as a law guardian for children in child abuse and neglect cases. This experience provides Alisa with the ability to counsel her clients regarding how to protect children from the process in divorce cases. While Alisa strives to settle her clients’ matters in an expeditious manner, when settlement is not possible, she is a formidable adversary with very strong litigation skills. I am privileged to work in tandem with Alisa on many matters in our firm. I can attest that she an amazing attorney with a warm approach with makes our clients, who are arguably going through the worst time in their life, feel at peace knowing they are in such capable hands."
