Would Recommend 10/10

I highly recommend Joe Alvarez, while going through my case he was very understanding and made me feel at ease during the whole process. He was able to get my case dismissed, the case went just the way he stated from the beginning. He made me feel very confident during the whole case. He was very kno...wledgeable about family case law. If I have to use a lawyer in the future, I will be going back to him and I would recommend him to all my family and friends and I believe that is the best endorsement I can give to someone.

Highly Recommend

I highly recommend Joseph Alvarez of Zisser Law. I’ve worked with several family law attorneys prior and Joseph Alvarez went above and beyond. I’m so grateful to Joseph for how he handled my case and truly looked out and fought for what was best for my child and myself. I had complete confidence an...d could always count on Joseph to help me take the emotion out and provide the best guidance. He is extremely attentive and timely with responses and always well prepared. He is hard working, highly knowledgeable, and I was impressed with his understanding and quick assessment of critical facts and information that impacted the case and his swift action and results. He was quick to react and move a case that was dragging out needlessly with my former counsel and helped move it toward resolution, minimizing both an incredible emotional and financial toll to my family. And for that I am the most grateful to Joseph. His entire support staff was always helpful and efficient as well.

Deepest thanks

Now that it is completed I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking Mark's case Pro-bono as that was a Godsend for him. I know you will be blessed many times over for your actions. Thank you again! Mark's mom (JoAnn Thompson).

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.
