Child Custody/Relocation

Words just can't express how grateful I am to have hired Alita as my attorney. I had a custody trial coming up in a month and my prior attorney could no longer help me. It was around the holidays and I was scrambling to find a new attorney. No response by a few, some not taking in any new clients, an...d a couple just seemed to not really care and gave a negative vibe. As soon as I had a consultation with Alita I immediately knew I had to hire her, if I could go back in time I would've hired her from the start. She is very genuine, compassionate, and easy to talk to. She accepted to take on my case and has done and helped me so much in such a short amount of time to prepare for trial and just with my case in general. She always kept me updated and responded quickly to my concerns. After all the preparation for trial it ended up getting pushed to a later date and from there she made it possible for an agreement between both parties to be made and trial set aside. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is going through a child custody or a relocation situation. Thank you Alita for all your help, greatly appreciated.

Compassionate, empathetic and understanding

I had consulted with over 9 different firms and attorneys in the search for someone to represent me in what seemed to be a contentious battle. Time was running out and I was mainly on the hunt for someone who was empathetic, understanding and who would ultimately fight for my son and his well-being a...t all costs. Alita fit perfectly into all my expectations and went above and beyond. She was extremely detailed and thorough with the information I needed as well as the information needed from me and addressed all my concerns in such an empathetic way. She understood and sympathized with my situation, and even told me if I decided to retain her, my son becomes her son too. That was so comforting to hear, especially in such a highly stressful situation. She was very generous when it came to my consultation. (attorneys are NOT cheap, but SO worth it) I wanted to know that I was putting my money into someone who cares for their client, and not just the money they make. I did not nearly make as much as my son's father, so my presumption of having less led me to believe that this would be a losing battle. Alita accommodated my financial situation in the most practical way possible. My son's father was filing for sole custody so this process was extremely daunting. I would definitely recommend Alita because she fought for my son. We met a couple hours before the hearing to review my concerns and lay out a plan for the day. We were able to settle before the hearing and Alita made sure that my requests and concerns were known. We settled for 50/50 joint custody! I am elated that we came to terms with what was best for my son and Alita was very comforting in this whole process. Highly recommend her!

Amazing attorney with a genuine heart

From the moment I got off the phone with Alita after my free consultation, I knew she would be the one that I will be hiring to help me with my divorce and custody battle just by the connection we had. She genuinely took the time and effort to know my heart and desires for the outcome of this divorce... and custody battle. She constantly reminded me of what we are doing is best for the kids, which at the end of the day, is all that mattered. At the same time she was ready and willing to prevent me from being taken advantaged of and getting the short end of the stick (because alot of curve balls was getting thrown at us). But she is so knowledgeable and so professional that we were able to prove and respond by showing that alot of things being thrown at us was unnecessary and very one-sided. She is very sweet, but can and knows when it's time to put our foot down and stand our ground. She made this process so easy and stress reducing for me and always left me with a peace of mind that everything is going to work out. We were able to resolve issues with the divorce and custody before our court date which saved us alot of time, money and stress. Alita genuinely cared for my situation and did all that she could to make sure the best outcome would prevail. I highly recommend her. She will not let you down.

She's amazing

This is my second time working with Alita. Alita is a tireless advocate for people who have been injured. She takes pride in her work and fights for her clients. Alita is intelligent and savvy. She is honest and fair with her fees. More importantly is that she cares about the work she does and how th...e outcome affects her clients.

Highly Recommended Attorney

Alita is professional, compassionate, and clearly an expert in her field. Throughout the entire custody case she had my son’s best interest in mind. My previous attorney was reactive and displayed a lack of experience in family law. This put my entire case in jeopardy. Alita was able to come in and... implement a strategic and aggressive action plan that turn my case around in a short period of time. Not only did she handle my case in a timely and professional manner, Alita far exceeded my expectations. She is a solid communicator and was there for me every step of the way. She always kept me updated on my case and insured that I understood all of the details. From our first introduction, to my final day in court, I felt confident that I had the best attorney on the case. I would highly recommend her services to anyone in need of legal counsel in Child Custody court.

"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."
