Alisa N Yasin

Alisa guided me through very difficult custody litigation that was drawn out over the COVID pandemic. She was readily available and very extraordinarily knowledgeable about all facets of family law as it pertained to my case. She was thorough in her research and case prep, flexible in managing issue...s as they arose, and compassionate at every stage of the process. Alisa guided me through the most challenging of life situations and saw me through to a satisfactory conclusion. I strongly recommend her for any family law needs.

My husband and I were in the process of a custody lawsuit and were represented by a horrible attorney when a friend recommended we switch to Alisa. After one phone call, we felt she really understood our complicated case. I seriously underestimated how horrible things could get in a custody case, and... particularly how damaging it can be to your mental health. I don't know what we would have done without Alisa. She held our hands throughout the whole process, and made sure that the slimy opposing counsel didn't get away with any of their dirty lies and tricks. When it came time for trial, Alisa came to court prepared with every piece of evidence beautifully organized, all the t's crossed and i's dotted. Opposing counsel did not stand a chance. She was on top of every single slander the moment it left his lips. We won custody thanks in large part to Alisa's meticulousness and her stellar work in the courtroom. I recommend her to anyone and everyone who needs a family law attorney in DC, MD, or FL. We are forever grateful!

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.

I hired Alisa based on a friend's recommendation. Alisa definitely means well but is a very poor choice if you do not see eye to eye with her on every aspect of your situation. Quite regrettably I did not realize this until after receiving and following legal advice which was absolutely inappropriate... given the totality of the circumstances at the time. Ultimately this lead to a suboptimal outcome which has hurt my children tremendously over the past two years. I would recommend using a different attorney.
