10/10, would highly recommend

Mr. Alvarez represented me during my divorce case and was amazing. Very professional and understanding. Mr Alvarez was very knowledgeable and understanding during the consultation and asked that I email him with any questions I might have after the consultation ended which relieved a lot of my worrie...s. He kept me updated with all of the necessary paperwork and filings required as well as mediation. He was very thorough during the mediation process while also treating me with compassion during such a hard time. I would absolutely recommend Mr Alvarez to anyone needing legal representation.

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.

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.

Excellent attorney

Joe was very aggressive at the beginning taking control of my divorce and controlled the entire divorce with me coming out on top. Very professional, aggressive, and knows about pensions and divorce law.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
