Updating previous negative review I gave a few years ago
Alisha was an immense help in working with my case. I left a negative review several years ago when I was very frustrated with my case in general, not with her, per se. If I ever needed a lawyer, which I better not! Haha, I wouldn’t think twice about hiring her.

WORST lawyer I’ve ever crossed paths with
She was unprofessional, had an attitude the whole time while working with her and liked to repeat herself in different ways like as if you didn’t understand her the first time. She also will hang up on you when she gets upset. Worst representation ever!

TOOK MY MONEY...DID PARTIAL WORK...DID NOT COMPLETE...THEN VANISHED
I am paf! I paid this person a lot to begin with. She dropped the ball on making sure the court updated all the charges to DISMISSED.

I apologize that this client was unhappy with my services. I was able to get the Child Abuse (3 counts) dismissed in full and the client also received no jail time. After representation I provided a letter to the UK along with paperwork to show that the case was dismissed, unfortunately the initial arrest is not able to be expunged in total. My fee was very reasonable given the fact that it was a felony case and the felonies were completely dismissed.

Highly Regarded...
I hired Alisha Ann Maestas after consulting with her via telephone. She was actually a referral from another brilliant attorney with a conflicting caseload. Living outside New Mexico, I became comfortable with Counselor Maesta's professional demeanor and unpretentious ability to listen and communic...

I would NOT recommend Ms Maestas
I was a client of Alisha Maestas. I hired her to represent me in a petty misdemeanor battery case. Once I paid her, I found her to be unresponsive and uncommunicative. When I was at my wits end trying to contact her for information about my case, I would threaten to fire her. This would elicit a ...
