Going through a divorce is one of the most emotionally challenging experiences a person can face, which made choosing the right attorney incredibly important to me. From the very beginning, Alyssa Grzesiak demonstrated a genuine commitment to helping me achieve an amicable resolution through mediation whenever possible, rather than pushing unnecessary litigation. That approach aligned perfectly with my goals and gave me confidence that my interests—not billable hours—were the priority. Throughout the process, Alyssa consistently showed empathy, patience, and professionalism. She took the time to explain legal procedures, terminology, and potential outcomes in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring that I felt informed and empowered to make decisions. Her communication was clear, transparent, and honest at every stage, which helped reduce much of the anxiety that naturally comes with divorce proceedings. What I appreciated most was her integrity. When unique circumstances arose that required additional research or involved areas that were less familiar, she was upfront about it and diligently investigated the matter rather than offering uncertain guidance. That honesty only strengthened my trust in her counsel. She was also highly responsive, with a quick turnaround on questions, documents, and follow-up actions. I always felt that she was available when I needed guidance and that my concerns were being taken seriously. Brittany kept me informed when Alyssa was unable to respond to my requests right away and always made sure she followed up with a prompt email on Alyssa’s availability. Another quality that stood out was her composure and confidence when dealing with opposing counsel. Throughout the process, opposing attorneys occasionally engaged in posturing and attempted intimidation tactics. Alyssa was never rattled by these efforts. She remained calm, professional, and focused on the facts and the desired outcome rather than allowing emotions or theatrics to drive the process. Her ability to stay steady under pressure gave me confidence and helped keep the case moving in a productive direction. She never escalated conflict for the sake of conflict and refused to be drawn into unnecessary confrontations. Most importantly, she remained steadfast in supporting my desire to pursue a respectful and cooperative outcome. In a situation where emotions can easily escalate and costs can quickly grow; she never lost sight of the value of mediation and constructive problem-solving. She consistently advocated reasonable resolutions and demonstrated that effective representation does not require creating more conflict than necessary. Her balanced approach helped me navigate a difficult chapter with greater confidence and peace of mind. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate, ethical attorney who truly prioritizes achieving the best possible outcome for her clients while respecting their goals and values throughout the process.

During my divorce proceedings, I worked with Alyssa Grzesiak and Brittany Gordon. I have not had much contact or use for lawyers in the past, so I was a bit nervous at first. However, from the first consultation I felt comfortable. There were no stupid questions and Alyssa always answered with knowledge, competence, and understanding. For me, high competence was not the only criteria I was looking for; I also wanted to feel valued, understood, and not looked down upon. Alyssa and Brittany provided that for me. The office staff were uniformly courteous, especially Desiree at the front desk (in Ashburn). Even the judge, at the final hearing, complimented Alyssa. Finally, mind was a same-sex marriage divorce and wondered if I’d feel any disapproval for that. Not once did I detect any such attitude, so if you are in the same boat, this firm is recommended definitely.

Working with Alyssa Grzesiak and Brittany Gordon was a pleasure. They were helpful, professional, knowledgeable, and always responded in a timely manner while helping me with custody/visitation orders. Alyssa was always there to guide me along the way and answer any questions I had. I appreciated her assertive attitude and attention to detail. I’m so grateful I had her help during this time.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with this awesome team TWICE! Both times I received amazing results from their work. I have worked with a handful of attorneys in the past and I’ve never had a good experience. Never felt truly supported and secure in their ability to represent me. Alyssa Grzesiak, Ariel Baniowski, and Brittany Gordon assisted me with my Family Law case. They were responsive, thorough, and supportive. They were so easy to talk to, showed they cared in many ways, and were just awesome representing me in court and going to bat for my kids’ best interest. They have earned my business for life!

If you’re going through the divorce process, look no further. Working with Livesay and Myers was a blessing. Alyssa Grzesiak and Brittany Gordon were amazing in handling my difficult process. They were meticulous in the work they did and were always available to answer any questions I may have had. I truly don’t think I could have gone through this with any other law firm. They not only work incredibly hard to get the result that’s best for you, but they also actually care about their clients and really do want the best for you! I highly recommend Livesay and Myers, you will not regret it!
