About Alisa
Biography
My mission is to provide outstanding,personalized representation, focusing on the long-term effects of family lawdisputes. My Firm is devoted to thearea of domestic relations and family law. As a small firm, we are uniquely suited to afford client matters the individualized attention they deserve. We represent both men andwomen in all areas of domestic relations, including divorce, child custody andaccess, child support, spousal support, domestic violence, separation and propertysettlement agreements, marital settlement agreements, grandparent and thirdparty custody and visitation, and adoptions.
I am a certified mediator and am trained in the practice of Collaborative Family Law, both alternative forms ofdispute resolution designed to create solutions without the need to go tocourt. While my goal is to assist ourclients in reaching an amicable resolution of their family conflict, I zealously litigate those matters which cannot be resolved alternatively.
Additionally, I have the privilege of providing representation of minor children as appointed by the Court.

Alisa helped me with a very complex case with a difficult opposing party. Alisa was meticulously prepared, completely confident and an unyielding advocate for my family. I couldn't have gotten through it without her.
