During the past 3 years I have found that Alisa Williams had been exceptional in her logical thoroughness in tackling a difficult and ugly separation case. She is very effective and clear in her instructions to me and to opposing counsel. Alisa had my best interests in mind since our first meeting. She did not sugar coat, was forward, honest , at times blunt and always calming. She most certainly does not let you fold or surrender until a suitable agreement is made. Highly recommended.

I felt I was left in a very vulnerable position with Alisa as my lawyer and I had to look elsewhere to finish my case. I was pregnant but living in the same house as my emotionally abusive ex. I did not want to leave due to our shared children whom he was alienating against me. I also didn't want him to know that I was pregnant for fear of how he would use that against me (not his baby). Alisa knew the situation. She also knew that as a support worker for people with disabilities I made very little money but that I would be paid out a considerable sum when the separation agreement was completed as my ex makes significantly more than I do and our house was valued at over $700,000. She refused to go further until I could pay her another large amount and threatened a collection agency. My funds were exhausted and my baby bump was growing. I was terrified. I needed to find a lawyer who would complete this immediately & would be willing to receive payment upon completion. Thank God I did.

A simple stepparent adoption with the other parent willing to sign over rights turned into her wasting our time and money. Charged me for emails asking what's happening when I did not hear from her months after giving the retainer. Honestly, I went and paid another lawyer to finish our case, took 2 weeks and it was over. She had taken months!! Please do not waste your money of your energy

Alisa Williams is an excellent lawyer. She goes out of her way to help her clients. She is very dedicated lawyer-works weekends. I have known Alisa Williams since 2008 to the present. I have always been happy with her as my lawyer. She is very kind and approachable. She will never stir anyone in the wrong direction. I highly recommend Alisa Williams if you are looking for a lawyer who is honest and really knows a great deal about Family Law.

I'm very pleased with the representation Alisa provides. The other party is unrepresented by counsel and is very acrimonious and abusive. Regardless of his behaviour, Alisa is professional and an aggressive advocate on my behalf. She handles the matter with compassion, empathy and reassuring humour.

Alisa was a god send. She helped me out to get time to properly retain someone despite her busy scheduale. SHe was compassionate, and depite me not being her client she fought hard to prove my side and got me exactly what was needed. If she can do an amazing job for someone who has not retained her she must be incredible to her clients. Unfortunatley, my case conflicts with her current ones time wise. I would in the future absolutley higher her from the short time I had her help she was compassionate, calming and truly knowledeable. Thank you for being my angek on a day I truly needed one!!! CM

I did not qualify for legal aid but had no extra income to secure representation so at first I represented myself but the other party's duty counsel was taking advantage of this. Everyone I had a consult with was brash and showed no empathy. Ms. Williams educated me each step of the way so that I understood the court process and felt comfortable with possible outcomes. I felt prepared each court appearance and comfortable that she had my best interest in mind. It was also a benefit that everyone respects Ms. Williams in the legal community. You never want an attorney who is not busy! Often we expect the world to revolve around ourselves and people to reply to us in seconds. I appreciated that when Ms. Williams responded to my emails she was so detailed and thorough. Hopefully I will not have to appear in court again but I have referred her to friends and family. Trust her and let her do her job she will not disappoint you- her reputation speaks for itself.

I have used this lawyer a few times now and each time proves to be more satisfying. Alisa got my son out of foster care in only 3 mths when i was told it would take 3-5 years! Alisa is kind, caring and compassionate when it comes to dealings with the CAS or CCAS and is very knowledgeable when it comes to dealing with them *CCAS*. I would definitely recommend this lawyer and am truly grateful for the payment structure as well.

My experience with Alisa was a very pleasant one, she is a very caring and experienced lawyer, this allows her to excel in the level of attention and detail that is of the utmost importance during litigation. Her positive views were very helpful in resolving differences. The end result was a quick and satisfactory outcome. I would recommend Alisa Williams to anyone! In fact, I have retained her as my lawyer in two separate occasions!

Always working on your case no matter what time of day it is, e-mails are proof. Able to multi task and keep amazing records on her lap top when trial is ongoing. A real down to earth person that takes your case very personal. All meetings were kept brief and not spent listening to stories. I found her very personable and knowledgeable. I would and have recommended others who want quality representation all at reasonable costs.

Alisa is brilliant with the law and very easy to talk with. She presents all the ideal options and stays focused on what the best scenario is. I am so happy I chose her council and highly recommend her.

What a terrible experience! She is never prepared except when asking for money. She is always late, rude, ignorant, phony, never available, scattered and does not appear to know or care what she is doing. Just do what others have had to do and have her account reviewed by a judge to have it reduced to the actual value of the (lack of) service cuz you will get nowhere with her. She's all talk. Her website says one thing and you get another. DO NOT USE THIS 'LAWYER"!I agree with other about her "5" ratings - they must be fake ratings posted by her and her friends or her staff and others who she must threaten to post them. The staff seem nice but frustrated with her as well. I feel bad for them. lawyers aren't cheap but that's ok if you get something out of it. She brags about herself and her luxury items. There are lots of lawyers out there - don't be fooled.

Alisa is an exceptional legal advocate. She is efficient and available always responding to inquiries in a timely, supportive yet realistic manner and timeframe. I would highly recommend her as a lawyer for anyone experiencing marital breakup.

Remember people...all 5's are probably someone from their office bumping numbers. Look at the other one's! (I have to say the work this lady did for my friend was terrible to say the least! $3000 down the toilet). Do not! use this lady for any legal work what so ever. She was totally taken advantage of at a time when she was vulnerable. Look elsewhere!!

I would recommend Alisa to anyone that needs a lawyer. I have been a client of hers for 2 or more years now and never had any issues. Alisa has always returned my calls always been on time for appointments and always given as much time as I need to allow her to hear me out. She is a great lawyer that has the knowledge that lawyers should have

Alisa Williams seems to never be in her office. She is not compassionate, returning phone calls days later and leaving robotic voicemails that merely leave her phone number for you to call her back. When I asked her secretary to speak with her, Alisa was always too busy for me and I was sent to voicemail. One day I called on a thursday at noon and was told Alisa was done for the day. I called the following day and was told "I don't know when she will be in, she comes and goes all the time". I have taken my business elsewhere as Alisa clearly is too busy to take on new cases and lacks compassion which is essential to any decent lawyer.

Alisa is one of the most useless lawyers I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Once she received my retainer she never returned calls, never followed up with me, charged me for things I had no knowledge of, and did not help my case at all. She was unprofessional, showing up late to appointments, cancelling appointments last minute and not following up to reschedule and calling the meeting to an end within 10 minutes of meeting. I would not recommend this lawyer to anyone.

Words can not even begin to describ how wonderful Alisa is. She is down to earth, caring, and tough. She always returned calls and e-mails and she was always there to calm me down. My case was won and I am thrilled. She is an amazing lawyer and an amazing person..Thank you Alisa from the bottom of my heart...T
