I was served a temporary restraining order out of the blue by my child’s mom that prevented me from seeing my child! She filed a motion to modify to take away my visitation rights. This was very stressful. Elisa had less than 6 days to prepare for my TRO hearing. I talked to 5 other attorneys who all wanted to file an extension until I found Elisa. Elisa knew the opposing attorney, the judge, and court very well. She suggested that we do not file an extension, but instead we should get to work immediately. She was ultra responsive and we came extremely prepared to the hearing. The other party chose to settle after seeing how prepared Elisa was. The case was dismissed and I received a favorable outcome. Elisa is very strategic, smart, and compassionate.
We obtained Elisa’s services to assist with our foster care/child custody needs. She immediately responded to our emails, calls and questions. Her dedication and legal knowledge was invaluable to the successful outcome of our case. Would not hesitate to use her services again.
Tenaciously representing individuals in the Metroplex for 30 years as they seek to divorce, to protect their estates and to receive their fair share, while advocating for their children.

Elisa was amazing and dealing with the drama of my divorce. I applaud her ablity to bring my case to a quick conclusion. LGBTQI+ friendly was appreciated and hard to find in this part of the world sometimes. Highly recommend to anyone needing her services.

A Thorough, Thoughtful and Tactful Attorney
Attorney Reiter earned her 5 STARS for the thorough representation of my divorce. She listened to my needs, provided me with copious documents to review in advance and gave me scenarios of the process before I even filed (just to make sure I was ready to proceed). She explained EVERYTHING that was going to occur in each step of the process and offered advice to allow me to decide what was best for me. Even when I was delayed in getting requested documents, she was tactful in her reminders, to keep me on track. She recognized some negotiation decisions were difficult for me and was thoughtful in encouraging me on how to make the decision. Finally, she had a good sense of humor in the midst of a stressful and sometimes frustrating process. But she's a "get the job done in the best interest of her client" type of person. I was extremely pleased with her services!

The Best in the Business
Elisa was referred to me by a friend when my wife filed for divorce. As you can imagine, it was a very stressful and frustrating time for me. From the get go, Elisa was knowledgeable, confident, and understanding. She more than understood my request to make the divorce quick and painless for both sides. She was empathetic yet firm with me, and held me to the requests I made when we first started. While I hope I never have to use her again, I will refer any friends going through a similar situation to her. She was an absolute rock in my time of need, and I will be forever thankful that I hired her.

Absolutley the BEST Lawyer!
I must say a few words on this lawyer. She is awesome! She kept us updated at all times on the children. She is always available. She is up to date on the latest information on the case. She will tell you to email her with the information and will respond within a timely manner! Most of the time it's immediate! She always has a smile and will break down the large words (Jargon-words only attorneys know). She gives you options and suggestions. She really cares....I went through 5 attorneys when I got divorced. They ALL wanted large retainer fees and DID NOTHING! Elisa comes with a plan! She doesn't make promises she can't keep. She always does her homework. When the DA forgets, Elisa doesn't. She is very competent. I highly recommend Elisa Reiter!!!

Ms. Reiter skillfully guided me through a difficult divorce.
I engaged Ms. Reiter as my divorce attorney and was thoroughly delighted with her services. I do not otherwise know her but chose her after interviewing two previous candidates for representation. I found her to be very professional and knowledgeable with all parties. She communicated my options, gave wise counsel when needed, and yet helped me maintain a human element through the proceedings. I heartily endorse her without reservation if you are seeking an attorney to represent you in a divorce case.

Elisa is a consummate professional with seasoned expertise in family law, and her skills proved to be a monumental asset through the legal process. She kept it simple and efficient for me through a emotionally difficult process and communicated with me every step of the way. Elisa remained patient and compassionate every step of the way, and she was a force to be reckon with in the court while pursuing mine and my children's best interests. I am very satisfied with the legal service and expertise Elisa provided. I would strongly recommend her. She is the Best. God bless you Elisa !

THIS IS THE ONE!!!
In regards to family law and someone who will fight for you, Elisa Reiter is the absolute best choice. Having to hire an attorney via telephone is no easy task (I am in a different state), and after speaking to 20+ firms, Elisa stood out above the rest. She was both professional and very caring in regards to my particular circumstances and case. She is seasoned and knows her stuff! I was and am incredibly happy with her services and really can't express enough how wonderful she is. She is an absolutely phenomenal attorney!

CPS case
Elisa was one the best attorney's I have ever seen. Elisa was assigned counsel for my 3 year old granddaughter. It was a long and drawn out process that Elisa took head on and always had her best interest in mind. During the hearing she asked the questions that nobody wanted to ask and demanded answers. She has my respect and admiration as her specialty is very touchy that few people are willing to take on. I would recommend her to anyone needing any family law help.

Excellent results
Elisa made me dig through a lot of documents but it was worth it in the end. We had a good result despite the other side taking a hostile approach. She knew the best experts to hire. She was very thorough, kept me informed throughout the case, and she got documents done quickly and correctly.

Super Lawyer Elisa Reiter
With great pleasure I am writing this review for Elisa Reiter. Mrs. Reiter represented me in my divorce case. She was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and responsive. She kept me fully abreast of every step of the case. If there were items that I did not understand, she was patient with explaining legal jargon for my understanding. I recommend her highly!!!
