Divorce and Child Custody

My best friend told me about this Lawyer that can help me with my Divorce/Child Custody support. Ms Alyssa and her Assistant was helpful and understanding and very professional from the start. I glad we was able to get everything settled. I would definitely recommend My Alyssa and her Form for legal... advice and services.

Please do a better job with your clients

I wouldn’t recommend no one to you because you not hands on with your client’s how you are supposed to be it’s like once y’all have a person money your job is done no your supposed to fight for that person people are losing a lot of things because the way you handle some of your cases hopefully you w...ill see this one day and do a better job at what you are paid to do

I am more then thankful to have Alyssa represent me in my case . Don’t 2nd guess yourself Alyssa’s work is well worth it and would have her represent me EVERYTIME if I needed . Thank you again , 12Star rating if there was one .

A very capable, no BS but kind lawyer!!

Alyssa successfully handled my divorce case last year. As with many divorces, there was a high level of conflict between parties, some special circumstances, and a complete unwillingness to compromise and negotiate from the defendant which could have resulted in years on litigation without a skillfu...l attorney like Alyssa. She went head to head with one of Las Vegas's most prominent law firms and divorce attorneys and she successfully navigated and negotiated a very fair monetary settlement and a 50/50 custody agreement from an ongoing serious of egregious offer(s) from opposing counsel. On top of this, her cost was only 'one quarter' of the price that the defendant paid!!! Some of the things I like most about Alyssa was the fact that she ways always available, accessible and responded to text messages and emails in a timely manner. I appreciated her candor and and she was realistic in her approach and never set "pie in the sky" expectations. As a result, she underpromised and over delivered big time and I like doing business with people like that. Lastly, it wouldn't be fair if I didn't mention Dawni, her paralegal because she was terrific. She was kind, responsive and efficient. Alyssa and Dawni are an excellent team and I highly recommend them if you are unfortunately going thru a divorce. They will make the process the best experience it can be during a tough time. They are both down to earth, kind, good hearted ladies who treat you like a human being and have compassion for their clients while not running up excessive bills by charging for every email and text message. I really can't emphasis that enough because I saw the defendant's bill and unfortunately they were not nearly as fortunate. It's actually a shame and almost criminal the billing practices that some of these 'other' law firms and attorney's do, you WILL NOT have to worry about that with Alyssa. I hope this was helpful and wish you the best of luck.

Divorce lawyer didn't get me divorced and more

Alyssas paralegal was great. Alyssa on the other hand didn't do much AT ALL. She claimed i was divorced when I wasn't. My son was absconded and I had to go out of my way to get him back. She DID NOT do what she said she would. For starters she kept requesting money and no receipts or reasons why unti...l I paid. I spent well over 4 thousand and I didnt even get divorced.... She SPECIALIZES in divorce. She made promises she didn't keep. It was like playing phone tag the whole time. If you need a lawyer go get a free one at the court house. They aren't worth the time, effort, or money. You think 2020 was bad don't use them.

Devon I understand your frustration, however you indicated you didn't have money to continue to have me represent you so I had to withdraw prior to your divorce getting finalized. You were sent all of your invoices regularly and promptly. I never claimed you were divorced, we had filed it but it was delayed due to your case getting taken up to the Supreme Court by your ex's counsel. I apologize that we weren't able to finish your case, but some circumstances are out of our control. Alyssa
