Satisfied in Kapolei

Alita was a referral from close friend who raved about her excellence in service. During my first consult with Her I could already tell that she cares a lot for her clients and I was in need of switching over to a female who could understand where I was coming from as a mother or as a primary parent.... What a stood out for me with Alita is that she is very detailed, organized, and honest. She would always make time for me even if it was in evening hours she was willing to be flexible for that working parent. I was looking for someone to listen to me and put action behind it not just hear me and wing it the day of hearings. She came into my case a year in a half into divorce and was able to help settle it in one hearing. Through communication she was able to work with the other lawyer to look out for best interest of the children first and then the client. The best decision I made was to hire Alita, she told me it's harder to undue something once the decree or any agreements are made so even if it's last minute she encouraged me to review her background first before switching. She instilled confidence back into me that I would see better results that's why I chose to go with her. You will not be disappointed with her straight up nature and trustworthiness, and the heart she has for kids.

Best lawyer you can get!

Ms. de Asis has been a spectacular attorney from the time she started on the case, all the way through. If you want results, you have come to the right person. What makes Ms. de Asia the "go to" lawyer? I'm glad you asked. She possesses an incredible attention to detail, that is coupled with ...genuine concern for the wellbeing of the children and those she represents. Ms. de Asis reversed some significantly damaging trends I and my case experienced under a previous attorney who did NOTHING but let the opposing party peddle lies and inaccuracies to my detriment. The way the reversals were made was through heartfelt and passionate presentation of the FACTS and much needed counter-arguments (obtained through painstaking research and diligent work) in the courtroom and having the moral conviction to call out the lies in front of the judge. That's right, she had the courage to do what was morally right when it counted. Ms. de Asis's attention to detail is evident in pre-hearing consultations and conversations. As busy as she is, she is steadfast in MAKING time to hear my concerns, no matter how small they may be. She brainstorms potential pitfalls. She expresses integrity through tactfully honesty and truth about situations, ideas, etc. (I haven't always had the greatest of ideas about how to pursue matters, or the greatest "warm and fuzzy personality" or poker face to win hearts and minds... don't worry, she'll professionally remind you of the parameters of legal matters and concrete and actionable ways to polish one's people skills!). Sometimes the truth hurt, but it was needed for what was needed to make positive changes with me. Alita truly puts her heart and soul into her work. As a client of hers, we felt more like family throughout this process. She ALWAYS keeps the interest of the children (especially since they don't always have a voice in this convoluted process of legal proceedings) at the forefront of her work. As a party in litigation, it often becomes difficult to see through the bloody mess of the emotions that invariably arise from difficult situations that surround the family court system. I have been guilty of that. While I have certainly had the interests of my children at heart as I fought for them, I would sometimes find it difficult to navigate through the anger of the moment because of the inexplicable actions by a spiteful former. She empathized, however, would always keep me on the moral straight and narrow, doing the right thing. Always. And the situations have always gone favorably as a result. Of course, there is not way to guarantee ANY outcome in the courtroom. Alita never promised any of that, ever, and neither shall I. She DID, however, commit to giving her full effort and attention to the case, and undoubtedly, that is exactly what happened and more. I cannot recommend any lawyer more highly than her (she is the seventh attorney I have had dealings with throughout my life, the third in the family court system). If you wish to have a dedicated, hard working and ethical attorney, you need look no further. Alita de Asis is second to none and is the consummate professional that works for and achieves success. You won't be disappointed.

Best laywer

When we hired atty alita, she was just on the spot, trying to do everything done and even if my case is super hard she is still in the top of her game. I love her attitude as well and she is a good lawyer. I would highly recommend her to anybody who needs help.

Actual Client

I would highly recommend Alita to those that are seeking professional legal representation. She is dedicated, knowledgeable and passionate in her representation of you. When taking on a case, she will review it thoroughly with you and guide you through every step of the way. Working with Alita was... pleasant, even during the most frustrating events of my case. She listens to any concerns that mighty arise and works with you to accomplish the best outcome of your case within the law. You are NOT just another case file on her records, but an individual (or company) she represents. Excellent Attorney!

Incredible service!

I was very fortunate to find Alita. I delt with three other law firms prior to finding Alita and she was, by far, the most professional, understand, and capable attorney I delt with. Alita responded to my emails and calls within a very short time period. She made herself available to me on the wee...kends and after hours. I did not even have to remain on the island to enjoy her full services. I was able to return home while she closely managed my case. Alita was very thorough and pleasent. I would highly recommend her to any close friend or family member having employment issues. I can not thank Alita enough for her results and professional, caring work ethic.

"I have been practicing law in the state of California for the last 13 years. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing attorney Alita Ong De Asis for just as long. During that period of time, I have come to know Ms. De Asis as a hard-working, dedicated and compassionate litigant. She always has her clients’ best interest in mind and provides them with zealous representation. If one of my own relatives had an issue with a workers’ compensation, family law or bankruptcy matter, I would not hesitate to refer them to Ms. De Asis. I recommend her without reservation."
