Thorough, concise, educated and precise lawyer

I highly recommend Mrs. Riisa Petersen Mandel from Petersen Lawfirm PLLC in Tucson, AZ. She was able to take on my child custody case after attempting to represent myself in court. She took on my case and immediately was able to help facilitate and agreement between myself and my son's father and his... lawyer. Mrs. Petersen was extremely knowledgeable about custody law and went above and beyond to help me make logical and rational decisions regarding our child. Most importantly Mrs. Petersen was accessible either via email, phone or in person which in my opinion was the most important factor in my particular case. Every email and phone call was returned promptly in a timely fashion. I felt very protected by her representation in court and also felt she always had the best interest of my child and myself in mind, which helped us come to a very fair agreement in court. I highly value her help and expertise and highly recommend her services. As a client if you are looking to be represented by a lawyer who genuinely has your best interest in mind and will expedite a decision, she is the most suitable candidate to help represent you. She helped sort through the legal jargon and confusion and gave me the peace of mind that I was making the most informed decisions. I would happily enlist her help in the future if need be, luckily thanks to her both my son's father and myself have found a resolution where both parties are happy with the end result. Thank you again Mrs. Petersen Mandel you were an enormous help.

I am very pleased with her work.

Riisa Petersen is tough. My ex wife and her attorney certainly share that opinion. Tough but fair. She negotiated a divorce settlement that was equitable, because she researched the facts of the case and I will be able to pay for my obligations to my ex and the kids and still have a life for mysel...f.

Sara Dent

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 05

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have been practicing law since June of 2008 and was an Assistant City Prosecutor until June of this year. During this time I had numerous court appearances with Ms. Petersen as opposing counsel including several evidentiary hearings and at least one jury trial. Ms. Petersen has integrity, is respectful not only to other attorneys and the bench, but also to her clients. In my experiences, she is consistently a competent and zealous advocate for her clients. I have no hesitation in saying that I believe Ms. Petersen would be an excellent choice to assist with not only criminal matters but also with any family law issue that may need resolved."
