From the first meeting through case resolution, Alisa uses her extensive legal knowledge, creative strategies and vast experience to deliver successful results. As one client observed, “Alisa is professional, thoughtful, strategic, pragmatic, responsive and very experienced in the law and the DC courts. She is also very cognizant of the human impact of the work she does, which I deeply appreciated.”
A shareholder with the Family Law Practice, Alisa handles all areas of family law, including adoption, assisted reproductive technology, child custody, child support, child protective services investigations, and all aspects of divorce matters. While she is a staunch supporter of collaboration to resolve family disputes, Alisa stands ready to fiercely advocate for her clients’ financial, business and personal interests through court intervention when dispute avoidance methods fail.
