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

Alyssa

Alyssa is an exceptional attorney ! She helped me with my case through thick and thin. She was extremely reliable, reasonable and patient when I was going through tough times that come with a custody battle. She answered every question I had in complete detail, she responded in a very short period of... time, and she was absolutely reasonable when it came down to payment options. Also, Dawni is her assistant and she is all of the above as well. I would interact with her mostly and let me tell you, she is an amazing person from my experience with her. I would not have been able to get through this without either one of these extraordinary women. I believe not only did they do their job, but they honestly changed my life for the better. If I ever run into anything legal ever again Ms. Aklestad will be the first attorney I call. Thank You Alyssa for helping me beat my case and guiding me through every step of the way, I have and will continue to recommend you to others. Thank You Again !!

Couldnt have done it without her

Alyssa took all the stress off my plate. I literally would of gone crazy if it wasn't for her counsel, advice and professionalism. She had a difficult task going up against a liar, manipulator and someone who doesn't follow the rules. Her knowledge helped combat the lies legally and knew what to file... and when to stay in front of his attempts at being sneaky. I had an emergency one time, and she had our papers drawn up within a day to get in front of an issue that arose. I'm so thankful I chose her as my counsel. Give her a try and you'll see why I love her!!

Always available and honest

Alyssa helped me get through my divorce with professionalism and compassion. She always made herself available to me and was 100 percent honest about the my case. I really appreciate her going above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with her work. Her paralegal was great too, very patient with ...me meeting deadlines. I will be recommend her services to my friends.
