No empathy nor compassion

Save your money! Alissa is money hungry. Acts like she cares but just wants your money. Once you pay her, shes lazy, drags her feet, she is never in the office, and doesn't return your phone calls or emails! Thank goodness for the the Attorney in the office and the two other fabulous kind girls that ...helped me through this terrible divorce. My divorced took so much longer than it should've, she lacks empathy for anyone. Then she will demand more money at the end to finish!

Amy Leskovac (since you are not brave enough to be upfront), you paid me $1500 total, didn't do anything I asked you to do to expedite your situation (like sell the property I told you to) and I met with you about 50x and went to court with you multiple times. If you think I overcharged, I sincerely hope you're enjoying your latest attorney's costs. Be assured, it was even less of a pleasure dealing with you.

Very involved and caring lawyer

Alissa has been with us for several years now with an ongoing case. She is always available, always caring, very informed and very trustworthy. She has gone above and beyond on our case on several occasions. I really feel you would be hard pressed to find an attorney that will go the extra mile ju...st for your own piece of mind.

Ambitious, Brillant, Kindhearted and Reliable

Alissa Kretser is an amazing attorney. She is dedicated to her work and sympathizes with her clients. She helped my fiancé and I obtain emergency custody of my fiancé's children. Our battle to obtain custody has been close to a 2 year battle thus far. Although our case still continues as we reach for... permanent custody, Alissa has communicated with us every step of the way and has basically become a part of our family. We couldn't have done this without her and I would recommend her to anyone dealing with family issues! My fiancé and I have been blessed to have her represent us through this entire process. Retainers/Fees were greatly priced verses other attorneys we had spoken with. She put in hours upon hours without complaint through the entire process as well. She has answered/ returned our calls over the most simple to the more complex questions each and every time. She puts forth 200% effort with a smile on her face and has been honest and upfront about what we could expect each step of the way. Not once have we been blindsided and she continues to keep us informed of any changes or challenges she may foresee. She is confident in what she does and has stuck to her word every step along the way as well. Hands down, she’s a fantastic attorney and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for representation.
