Joe Alvarez/Above and Beyond attorney

Initial Consultation I knew Joe, was God sent to me my emotions were off the chart and during our conversation I felt peace a of mind. His professionalism was very confident I knew at that moment I was in good hands. During the process of my divorce, he was always reassuring with a compassionate sp...irit. He's always smiling even over the phone you feel the smile. Very pleasant courteous and prompt on time of every and anything during the completion of my divorce. My initial contact was in March 2021 and my mediation completion was in August 2021., CFJ February 2022. I felt so much Joy!!! he's always on the case. You find far and few Attorneys like Joe Alvarez, words just cannot say enough. Thank You Joe, and your entire Staff for going above and beyond for my future. Sincerely Melanie D. Roberts

Helped me in a time of need...

I was going thru a divorce and was struggling deeply. I had paid a lawyer for help with my divorce and had that lawyer take my money and run. I was in a deep hole at this point. Joseph Alvarez was such a blessing to find. He contacted me after I found his law firm and made my life so much easier. He ...said and I quote "I want you to live life without worry of this divorce, you're in good hands." He could not have been more right, he made my divorce, which seemed like an absolute nightmare, seem like it was nothing to worry about at all. He took care of everything and made the process so simple, easy, and care free. Thank you so much Joseph Alvarez! If you're looking for a divorce lawyer, look no further and hire Joseph Alan Alvarez!

Very Highly Recommend!!!

Joe came highly recommended and proved to be an absolute Godsend. He's professional, highly knowledgeable and trustworthy. I was very impressed with his dedication to my case. His kind manner, understanding, attention to detail and willingness to explain helped keep me calm through a very contentious... divorce. He kept me updated through every step of the process and readily responded to every question I had. His legal assistant, Stacey was also a joy to work with. I couldn't have chosen better and will forever be grateful for Joe and Zisser Family Law.

Professional and responsive

I hired the Zisser law firm to handle my recent divorce which was somewhat complicated and challenging. Joe Alvarez was my attorney and he did an excellent job handling all the pieces of this divorce including properties, companies, and complications dealing with a difficult /somewhat hostile ex hus...band. I was very pleased with his communication and the management of the whole process. He definitely helped me to obtain the best settlement I could ,and I was happy with my results. I’m glad I chose Joe and the Zisser law firm to represent me ,unlike my ex spouse who flipped through multiple lawyers, I had consistency from start to finish with no complaints and positive results.

Compassionate and Professional

Working with Joe was a pleasure from day 1. After a terrible experience with another firm, I was very skeptical coming onboard. Joe quickly diminished all fears as he explained my options to me, walking me through each step. Joe was aggressive as I needed him to be, given my situation and opposing... council. He was clear and concise, respecting my wishes as well as protecting my future and my best interest. Joe has a gift for making a seemingly impossible situation become minimal! I found myself fully trusting his advice and deferring all communications to him which was a true blessing! I never felt like a number or just another client with Joe, I always felt like he truly cared, and my case mattered. The final outcome of my divorce far surpassed my expectations because I hired Joe and his firm.
