Great Lawyer

Karissa is an excellent lawyer who knows all aspects of the law pertaining to divorce. She did an outstanding job handling my case and she is also a good hearted person.

Excellent Lawyer

Karissa did a very good job of handling my divorce, given the level and layers of complexity that existed throughout the case. She also returned every email and call and made me feel like I was an individual and not just a case number. I also want to give her a thumbs up for schooling me on the ins... an outs of how divorce cases and family law works and for being sensitive to everything that I had going on at the time. I would highly recommend her.

Knowledgable and Strong

When I was going through a stressful divorce involving serious custody issues, I found in Karissa an attorney who is not only knowledgeable and strong, but supportive. Karissa handled my case with the utmost of professionalism and dealt strongly with some very tough issues. She never backed down in ...support of me and presented excellent legal arguments with precision, skill, and class. To find all of these qualities in an attorney is truly remarkable.

Avvo Rating

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.
