The best family law attorney in Knox county

I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with this firm. Going through a family law matter is incredibly stressful and emotional, but my attorney handled everything with professionalism, compassion, and strength from start to finish. They were always responsive, clear in explaining m...y options, and truly listened to my concerns. I never felt like just another case — I felt supported and understood. Their knowledge of family law and attention to detail gave me confidence during a very uncertain time. What stood out most was their ability to balance being both strategic and empathetic. They fought for my best interests while keeping the process as smooth and respectful as possible. I’m beyond grateful for their guidance and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a skilled and trustworthy family law attorney.

A terrible experience with a terrible lawyer

After he was hospitalized, I became aware that my elderly, disabled Uncle was being abused physically and mentally by his "wife". This has been going on for years. She withheld food and water, withheld necessary medications, beat him with her fists or a set of brass knuckles she keeps beside her. Aly...sse was aware of all of this and more. She demanded payment immediately and then, also immediately, took a week vacation. When she FINALLY filed for the divorce and protection order for my Uncle, Judge Wetzel granted an emergency ex parte order for my Uncle's protection. Alysse intentionally ignored the court and refused to serve the Court Order. As a result, my Uncle is once again at the mercy of his abuser and she can thank Alysse Giles for that. I would not recommend Alysse or this firm for ANY reason, they should be disregarded completely.

The Greatest

Alysse and her team were absolutely incredible throughout what was a nearly two-year process. She memorized the myriad facts of a very complex case, strategized effectively, and executed with power, grace, and unmatched skill. Through the process, I was anxious about the outcome - but her direct, b...lunt, honest nature put that to rest. “Trust Aly” became a regular phrase in our home - as she was able to bring me back down to Earth, explain processes, and make a strong case. During hearings, she was able to make her points very poignantly and forcefully - but respectfully, even when the opposition was unprofessional and rude. You will not find a better advocate in Central Ohio - and you certainly want Alysse Giles on your side in the courtroom.

Criminal and Uncaring

Aly, Do you remember harrassing-ly following me to my place of work to aggressively intimidate me after my first day of depositions? Do you remember The Defendant stating he drives drunk with my children in the car during his depositions? Do you remember manipulating the court into giving yo...ur client all of the positive favors in order to deny my children equal quality of life and a fair, reasonable, just outcome? I think it's fair to say you have gotten what you wanted - To win and make money. And since money is all you care about, please let's avoid wasting any more and please provide the case files. I think it's fair to say my children have suffered enough at your distain for me personally, but they should not have to be subjected to furthering their family traumas by prolonging this any further. My children have suffered enough. And you're going to cause them further harm if we must revisit this in Court. Waste of money. Waste of time. For what? Because you're afraid of me having a copy of my own case files? Dan does not want to discuss this with me, at your recommendation to keep tight lips, but it's really you that is fearful of me obtaining his depositions, am I right? I'd really appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter amicably. Thanks!
