With one phone call, I had the ammo I needed to take down my Goliath

This woman is filled with compassion for others, as well as a deep desire to help those in need, but especially those who stand where she once was. I reached out to her looking for answers regarding eviction laws in Georgia, and she was very straightforward, letting me know exactly where I stood in m...y fight. As the call ended, I felt so defeated and alone. However, it was only seconds later when my phone rang, and Lisa began asking me questions so she can know the entire story. I could tell she had sympathy for me, a single mom doing my very best to raise my daughter, while picking my self up from being knocked down by life. She attentively listened to every detail intently searching the law library. At the end of our call, she sent me an email that contained the slingshot and two small stones I needed to take down my Goliath. Lisa, you were a godsend today and I pray that one day I am able to have your neck for the Hope that you pour back into me.

Outstanding Attorney — ALWAYS first Choice

As a company that regularly refers landlords and property owners to Attorney Lisa Alvelo, I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most committed and effective eviction attorneys I have ever worked with. Lisa brings a balance of sharp legal strategy and genuine care for the clients she rep...resents. She is aggressive when the situation calls for it, but she never loses sight of the people behind the cases — guiding them with clarity, honesty, and steady reassurance. Time and again, I’ve seen her step into extremely difficult situations and handle them with both precision and compassion. Clients I refer to her always come back expressing gratitude, not only for her results but for the way she carried them through such a stressful process. In a field where emotions run high and outcomes matter deeply, Lisa is the attorney who shows up fully engaged, fighting hard, and standing firmly beside her clients from start to finish. For landlords and property managers facing challenging litigation, I can’t imagine a better advocate. She has earned my trust completely and is always my first choice when I need to place someone in strong, capable hands.

Exceptional Last-Minute Support During a Stressful Tenant Dispute

I cannot thank Lisa Burris enough for the incredible support she provided during a highly stressful situation. I had a tenant who unlawfully terminated his lease without notice, leaving me in a bind. With very little time to resolve the issue, I reached out to Lisa, and she immediately stepped in to ...help. Despite the last-minute nature of my request, Lisa handled everything with the utmost professionalism and efficiency. She thoroughly explained my legal options, helped me navigate the complexities of the situation, and took swift action to protect my rights. Her expertise and calm demeanor were exactly what I needed during such a challenging time. Thanks to Lisa's guidance, I was able to resolve the issue quickly and with minimal stress. I highly recommend Lisa Burris to anyone in need of legal assistance—she truly goes above and beyond for her clients!

Lisa is amazing

I reached out to Lisa on Sunday evening with details of my case and she had given me a call the very next day by 2pm. This was a very fast turn-around. First, she was extremely kind and knowledgable. She sat on the phone with me for nearly 30 minutes and gave so much insight on how the eviction proce...ss works. I feel more aware and confident about moving forward with the process. She didn't sugarcoat anything and was totally honest about what to expect. I highly recommend she be your first stop for all of your eviction needs.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Ms. Burris is a great attorney and a fighter for her clients. I referred a case to her that involved a family member of a client who would not move out of a rental property. They used every dirty trick in the book to prevent being evicted. Ms. Burris had them out in 30 days. She is the best."

"I found Lisa's informative web site about Georgia eviction law and I emailed her with questions about the process to contribute to a blog article I was writing. She was very generous with her time on the phone and helped improve my article by providing me both the statutory and the practical sides of eviction procedure. She is clearly very knowledgeable in the area of landlord tenant law, both in a residential and in a commercial setting and I will not hesitate in referring property owners and/or commercial tenants to her for these legal needs."
