Excellent Lawyer

I was involved in a case recently in which my family needed someone with Karissa's expertise. She did an excellent job keeping us informed and up-to-date on our case, and her experience helped address potential problems we may not have anticipated. She is a pleasure to work with and I would highly re...commend her to anyone in need of a competent, experienced, and highly intelligent Family Law attorney in Lake County.

Professional, with a Heart

I am extremely fortunate to have had the pleasure of meeting and being represented by Ms Anderson. Not only did Karissa listen and understand my concerns but she focused on doing the 'right thing' for me, and most importantly for my children. Karissa's approach is flawless and unwavering. She is asse...rtive and determined but also empathetic and understanding. Ms Anderson is extremely knowledgeable, resourceful and intuitive. I feel extremely blessed that I had her support during my difficult situation. Her guidance was, and continues to be, invaluable. I highly recommend Karissa Anderson

Amazing

Karissa is amazing. She is on top of her game, and is always available when you need help the most. She knows what she is doing and always has a good answer for you.

Easily the best lawyer I've ever hired!

I was referred to Karissa by an acquaintance and have never had a better experience with a lawyer. Karissa sat down with me and laid out in detail her recommendations and why. Always available,keeping me up to date, ahead of the game and personally knowledgeable of my situation. She helped me improve... a ridiculously one sided joint parenting agreement speedily, economically and efficiently without a hefty retainer. I can't recommend her enough, you would do yourself a disservice if you do not consider her as your counsel.

Lake County gem

Ms. Anderson is an excellent lawyer and a lovely person. She has a fair fee schedule and has always been sound and supportive of me as a client with a high conflict ex spouse. Trust her. She will tell you what to expect and if you listen, she will deliver that outcome.

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.
