Has a lot to say about nothing that has to do with the case

Does nothing but waste your time and money. Verbally attacks you when she doesn't get what she wants out of you.

My SON

Alyssa Gearhart is a outstanding lawyer and person! When I hired Alyssa i took her advice on every move to make and at the end of my custody case we were extremely successful. I’m the happiest father in the world now that i have equal decision making for my son. If your looking for a lawyer to go the... distance for you contact Law office of Alyssa Gearhart!!

Tough lady- took care of my case quick

Thank you for taking care of my case saving me money. It wasn't hard to talk to her, and she is nice. In court, my ex got nothing like she wanted and my lawyer did everything. I was really happy to use her, and if I have to go back to court, I'm hiring you again.

Workers Comp Expert

She is a real fighter and did a great job for me. I was having problems with my employer jerking me around after my accident. She got me right again and made sure my employer paid what was right. I would go back to her again.

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.
