Consummate Professional

​I had an exceptional experience working with Alyse and her team. From day one, they operated with a high level of expertise, ensuring every legal action was strategically aligned with our goals. What truly sets this firm apart is their communication—I was never left wondering about the status of our... engagement. Stellar service and complete professional integrity.

Positive Results

Alyse was very attentive to me and my case over a very long and drawn out divorce process. Alyse and her team made themselves readily available to speak with me whenever I needed, were very good with communication and helping set expectations throughout the process. Highly recommend working with A...lyse and team if in need of divorce assistance.

Fantastic!

She is super-sharp, could answer questions that were involved and didn't have a simple yes/no answer, provided great guidance on what to expect, when, how various things might play out, and how the various judges in Travis County might view the facts of the case. On top of that, she's a great negoti...ator - she was in total command of all the numbers during mediation and was able to give solid counterarguments during that process, and she had rapport with the mediator. She also was quick to respond and ensure that all my questions were answered throughout my entire case, be it via email, phone calls, or office visits.

Fantastic attorney and team

I took a consultation with Ms. Donnelly when I unfortunately realized that my marriage was over. She and her team walked me through the process over phone/zoom as all our meetings were virtual due to the pandemic. Their timeliness and thorough follow-up made the divorce as easy as possible. At all ti...mes I was updated and made aware of movements of the opposing counsel as well as outstanding documentation on my end. Their communication is top notch and I felt that my interest were protected but my wishes respected. I recommend their services without hesitation.

Review

Alyse was great from the time she started working on my divorce case. She listened to what I needed and worked tirelessly to get a favorable response, even working through the holidays to get it done. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a difficult divorce.

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.
