Criminal Defense Attorney

I first met Alyssa Congdon after my mother found her contact information on google. We needed an experienced lawyer who could help fight my criminal case to the best of their ability. Upon meeting Alyssa, she was so kind and professional. After going through a traumatic experience of possibly having ...a criminal record, Alyssa made me feel confident and assured me that everything was okay. I appreciated her utmost honesty and how much dedication she gave for my case. She helped me through each step and process in court and never left my side. In court she advocated for me and i was released on my own recognizance. Even after i left Alyssa continued to fight my case and my all charges against me were dismissed. Alyssa Congdon is by far the most experienced and dedicated criminal defense lawyer there is. She is brilliant and truly does her best for her clients.

"I wholeheartedly endorse Alyssa Condgon, Esq. I have known Ms. Congdon for many years, while I was both a prosecutor and as a fellow lawyer in the community. I can honestly say that all of my interactions with Ms. Congdon have been a pleasure. Ms. Congdon is respectful, knowledgeable about the law, and a zealous advocate of her client's rights. While she practices many areas of law, I have mostly seen her in practice in criminal courts, where she has been able to successfully resolve her clients' cases with the best possible outcomes. What I find truly sets Ms. Congdon apart is that she loves what she does, and truly cares about her clients. This is important, because it means you can trust that Ms. Congdon is going to tirelessly on your case. If you need an experienced criminal law attorney, you owe it to yourself to contact Ms. Congdon."

"Ms. Congdon cares more about her clients than most anyone I know, which is a quality that far too many attorneys lose (or never had to begin with). It is because of our mutual dedication to our clients that Ms. Congdon and I have consulted each other on matters a number of times, and I always found her advice to be of the utmost caliber. There are few attorneys I respect enough to consult with on matters, but Ms. Congdon is one - and if I could say nothing else, let me say that I would not hesitate to refer my own family and closest friends to Ms. Congdon for representation. That, to me, says it all."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
