Alisa N Yasin

I am grateful to have found Ms Yasin after two previous lawyers who just seemed to be checking boxes during Covid. Her guidance always respected both my financial interests and my complicated emotions. I found her reasoning to be balanced and clear. Even when things seemed hopeless and pointless, I... at least knew what the next step should be and how much time to get there. We worked together over three years 2021-2024 and she kept us on track through a case that was as clear as a muddy river. When I could not see the bigger picture, she was always honest with me on what to expect based on the Court's recent judgments. But she still took to heart what I was trying to express and would better frame my wishes in a realistic and practical way. I was also extremely impressed that she could draw on details from over a year before that I had forgotten. I never doubted that she had me and my kids best interests at heart. When she needed to be open and collaborative with opposing counsel she was. When she needed to be fiery, I was amazed that someone like this could be on my side. When sometimes it was better for both parties to not be in the room, Ms Yasin had earned my trust to break the logjam for me without needing to know the details. We ended up convincing the other party to avoid the need to go to trial and convincing this party that he got the best moral victory he could. It was important for me to take the high road and we got to the best compromise we could. As a devoted father who did not want to not miss a day of my children's lives, I was scared that I would not be taken seriously by others. I always felt respected and heard by her. She was very kind to me and the kids when we needed it the most, and has also referred us to other exceptional providers over the years, some of whom we continue to see. This was a deeply painful time and we could not have gotten out of it without her skill. If I had met her three years earlier, then it would've been cleaned up three years sooner. She was both my lawyer and also taught me “How to Deal with Difficult People". Ms Yasin has my strongest recommendation and I'm happy to say more privately if you have further questions.

Alisa is professional, thoughtful, strategic, pragmatic, responsive and very experienced in the law and the DC courts. She is also very cognizant of the human impact of the work she does, which I deeply appreciated. Alisa has represented me in a very drawn out and complex custody matter, a protra...cted divorce case and an administrative hearing. Needless to say, we worked together very closely for more than two years. Alisa expertly prepared a wide range of motions, oppositions and briefs - some of which dealt with relatively obscure legal principles. She delivered excellent oral argument and effective cross-examination, both based on thorough preparation. Alisa does not get distracted by narrative but rather is guided by the facts of the case. Going above and beyond is the standard for Alisa.

Zamani & Associates did a fantastic job representing me in my divorce and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. They walked me through the entire process and assisted with the unique challenges that were associated with my case. From negotiating the marriage settlement agreement, to the divorce h...earing, the communication always made me feel like my best interests were at heart. Zamani & Associates comes highly recommended!!!

Alisa Yasin is a consummate professional. Alisa was patient, attentive and empathic while discussing my case. Alisa is very detailed in her written responses, and knowledgeable about divorce law. She always retuned calls and emails the same day. I appreciated how careful she was to provide me with th...e maximum service at the minimum necessary billing hours. Alisa is truly a class act and I would not hesitate to recommend or use her again should I ever need a family practice lawyer.
