I recently had the pleasure of working with Riisa on some issues around custody and school choice. Though the issues on the surface are quite simple, because of the circumstances, it was quite complex. Riisa took the time to meet with me and explained my options and gave me several good pieces of advice. Her and her staff were very responsive to my concerns and helped me turn the complicated situation into a win. Her knowledge of the legal system and the how to approach the issue allowed me to not only feel at ease, but also gave me good options for handling any future issues. Thank you Riisa! I would highly recommend Riisa to anyone who is looking for an excellent attorney, keeping your interests front and center.

Riisa Peterson is a top notch Attorney! Not only did she go above and beyond during this pandemic, but she is always just a phone call away.

Her team is very professional and made me feel that they were concerned and working toward my best interest. Her assistant Lisa was amazing and I felt like I made a friend for life!

This law firm is amazing in all that they do and I thank them from the bottom of my hearts for making this chapter of my life a smooth easy beautiful transition. God Bless!

Riisa is the best family law attorney hands down. Her and her staff are professional and knowledgeable as well as considerate to our needs. My husband and I have utilized her services for the last 5 years and have been very happy with every outcome. Riisa knows her stuff and has always given us sensible and honest advice.

Riisa was amazing. She was very kind and understanding. She was very organized and handled everything. She was very honest with me throughout my case and explained what each step would entail. Her office staff was also so helpful and friendly. When it comes to something as important as family, Riisa takes her cases as serious as if they were her own family. She listened to all my concerns and addressed them all. She made sure I knew that she was there to help me and work for me. Considering no one ever wants to be in a situation where they need a lawyer especially when it comes to our kids, she made a painful difficult situation much easier to navigate. Thank you Riisa and your wonderful office staff (Lisa, Garnett and Alana) for all your support and hard work.

I retained Riisa Petersen and her staff in a recent legal matter. I cannot begin to explain the professionalism, tenacity, intelligence, and overall above reproach methodology she and her team have brought to the table for me in my matter. She has gone above and beyond with communication and advisement all while ensuring that she kept my budget in mind. I would recommend to anyone Riisa Petersen and let them know that if they don’t retain her, good luck. When you work with Riisa its not about luck it was about supporting you to the FULLEST extent of the law allow and thats what she does!!!! Thank you again for everything!!!!

My son was moving across the country to NY with his mother. My ex-wife and I get along but her moving across the country was very stressful. We needed a parenting plan, something I had never thought of before. There are so many things to consider. How much time do parents usually share custody? Visitation, holiday schedule, health insurance…etc. I was seriously losing sleep over this situation! Petersen Law Firm showed us this process is nothing to lose sleep over! The parenting plan covers everything we could think of and even things we had not considered before. My son just flew home after spending his first summer with us after his move, and although we were sad to see him go back to New York I know I have it in writing when he will return to visit us again. There really is nothing that can replace having that peace of mind. My son said at the airport, "It will be nice to come visit for Christmas and get a break from the cold!" Thanks again Riisa Petersen!

The last thing anyone wants to go through is a divorce. Riisa Peterson Mandel alleviated the stress and worry I felt when I made the decision to file for divorce. She is incredibly efficient, professional, and above all diligent in her understanding and ability to explain the legal procedures and applicable laws to her clients. She is honest and upfront about the process, the hardships, and above all, does not "sugar coat" what to expect.

In such an unpredictable time, she provided clear guidance and initiative when it came to pursuing this matter in a "time is of the essence" viewpoint. Not only was Riisa Peterson Mandel was readily available, but and her staff was also very responsive and friendly. She worked faster than any other attorney said was possible! She was the perfect attorney for me, and based on her work ethic and results, I would highly recommend her to anyone who is faced with a similar situation to mine. Her compassion and empathy for me and my legal matter made me feel like she had known me for years! She is exactly the person you want advocating for you when you're forced into a legal corner. I never leave reviews but I was so blown away with Riisa Peterson Mandel and her staff at Peterson law firm. Words cannot even begin to describe how grateful and blessed I was to have Riisa Peterson Mandel represent me. Hands down one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with!
