If you're looking for a long-term solution to your war, and not simply looking to win a single battle, you've found your family law attorney. My conflict resolution strategies get results. Many people search for "aggressive" family law attorneys, not realizing that there is a better way. I continute to be successful against even the most seasoned attorneys because my approach is "refreshing" to most judges. Gone are the days of attorneys duking it out in court like you see on television; and most attorneys' failure to recognize that simple fact helps me be successful for my clients.
I recognize that each situation is different and therefore, I work with clients to formulate a unique strategy for their case. Looking toward long-term resolution for current issues and anticipating future issues also saves many clients money because many issues are dealt with simultaneously at one cost.
Having gone through divorce myself with two children, I understand the frustration of working with the other spouse/parent and how daunting the court process can be. My personal experience makes me patient and eager to give each client individual attention.
Prior to being an attorney, I managed another law office for 7 years and worked part-time as a paralegal in that same office. Before joining the legal field, I worked as an insurance claims representative for more than 10 years. My extensive work history in both fields has given me valuable experience in conflict resolution and negotiation, and has taught me how to be aggressive in necessary situations.

If you want your attorney to defend your ex while you are the one paying her she’s the one to go to. This lady doesn’t listen to you, cuts you off mid sentence, I had to stop breast feeding my 3 months old because she said it wasn’t an excuse for the father not to take a newborn baby overnight. From ...
I was contracted with a firm for about six months to provide limited scope services - meaning clients paid the firm directly for limited services and the firm shopped out the assignments (limited services) to various attorneys. Unfortunately, many people found the concept difficult to understand and didn't understand the structure of the firm and how contract attorneys worked. In my opinion, the firm failed to properly explain the structure to potential clients before signing them up. Therefore, concerns about payments and other things that the contract attorneys had no authority over were directed to the contract attorneys and not the firm representatives that were supposed to manage those issues. I terminated my contract with the firm for the issues stated and for other reasons. I properly notified all clients in writing based upon my ethical obligations and declined to accept any new contract assignments from the firm. I'm upfront and honest in my practice of law and discuss options based upon my professional training and experience. Unfortunately, I am unable to comment on details on any specific case.

I have been meaning to write a review here for a while now. I hired Nisa not long ago to handle a bit of a complex case, and I've gotta say I'm monumentally impressed with her performance, ethics, and passion for what she does. She is proactive, and blows me away with her quick responses and solution...
