The best!!

Riisa is the best family law attorney. Her and her staff are professional and knowledgeable as well as considerate to our needs. My husband and I have utilized her services for the last 5 years and have been very happy with every outcome. Riisa knows her stuff and has always given us sensible and h...onest advice. She conducts herself with unwavering integrity and commitment! We have and will continue to recommend her to anyone we know!! We are so glad to have her on our side!

I highly Recommend!

Riisa and her entire staff are exactly what I needed. They are compassionate and thoughtful. They are also extremely good at what they do. I hired Riisa to represent me during a high conflict divorce. She never pushed me in a certain direction, but gave me all the options. When I needed her during an... emergency, she and her staff (I adore Lisa!) dropped everything and helped me get protection for me and my kids. I know they are a busy practice, but Riisa always makes me feel like her first priority. They have been upfront regarding expenses and are worth every penny!

Highly Recommended

I loved how detailed Riisa was while preparing my documents. She gave me step by step explanations as to what she was doing and what I needed to be doing though out the process of the divorce. She cares about her clients because she goes out of her way to help in anyway she could. She definitely know...s what she's doing. I appreciate her business and would recommend her to anyone.

I would recommend to others or hire myself without any reservation, unconditionally.

Those in the Tucson area would do wise to heed this review. Riisa Petersen-Mandel is among the most competent, intelligent, caring, and zealous lawyers one could ask for. I say this having completely and totally accomplished my legal goals within the family courts. These goals coincided that which is... most important and most beneficial to my family. Riisa was available for my questions, concerns, and issues at any point that was within reason. She responded to emails, texts, and phone calls in a manner where timely seems like it is underwhelming. She was quick to both act and react. She stayed current and familiar with my case to a degree which made any and all of our interactions quick, efficient, and calming. She was knowledgeable and competent enough in the art of the courts that she was able to realize and capitalize on any advantages possible. She worked vehemently with me towards any and all of my objectives. The only question that I've ever had unanswered is how a lay person, such as myself, was able to acquire such an adroit, proficient, and gifted attorney.

The best!

Divorce is an extremely difficult time to say the least, and having an experienced attorney can make all the difference. Riisa Peterson is not only experienced but amazing at trial. I would highly recommend her for any family law case needed! Not only did she handle my case aggressively but with comp...assion towards me as her client. Don't be fooled by gimmicky commercials she is simply the best!

Riisa Petersen's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Riisa

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."
