I don't have enough words to explain how wonderful she is. Naturally when you hire a lawyer for family court there's almost always hard feelings, contention and stress. Ms. Seidl was not only my lawyer but she was often my therapist. She's understanding, caring, she listens, and sometimes when you need it, tough love. She will be honest with you, sympathize with you, and will ALWAYS fight for you. Her understanding of family court is unmatched. I owe her my sanity!

My husband and I retained Carissa to represent us in the case against his ex-wife and while the retainer was on the expensive side, we do not regret it. Carissa is a fabulous attorney and she is amazing at what she does. You can tell she loves her job and really cares about her clients and their families. She was honest with us and told us the "not so ugly truth" sometimes but that is what makes a great attorney. She kept us in the loop and returned our calls and emails (but also did not waste attorney time on unnecessary phone time). Some may say that she (or her law office) is expensive but you get what you pay for. And it was money WELL spent. I would recommend her and Jaburg Wilk to everyone and I have recommended her to friends, just as she was recommended to us by a friend.

Carissa was recommended to me by a friend. I had never been in court before and the opposing Attorney was pretty vicious. Carissa told me not to get upset, that everything would work out ok for me and that I had a good case. Well she was right all along. Carissa was very fair and straightforward with me regarding all the issues and was very professional and courteous. I couldn't have picked a better attorney.

Carissa is an intelligent and determined person. She won us the right to relocate and to provide a much better lifestyle for my daughter. I appreciated her honesty and availability as well as how she took her time analyzing the options available in how to move forward. I would acquire her services should the need arise again and recommend the same for any other father doing by right by his children.

Carissa was terrific from the start clarifying all the paperwork and do's and don'ts. She made clear the process and provided recommendations and backgrounds for the next steps and decisions to be made. She also made clear what sorts of checklist activities to avoid and continue. Carissa has been wonderful as a champion and patron for your interests and court. She helped to relieve many of the stresses and anxiety so I was able to continue working and achieved a very successful year at work. Carissa is an excellent facilitator between you and the law explaining what the law requirements and perspectives are and guiding you through the different decisions to be made and then fighting for you.

Carissa is the best! I picked her out of a million lawyers looking here on AVVO. I wanted someone who wasn't scared to speak up for me and WANT to win my case. Carissa is definitely that woman! She went completely above and beyond to help me with my case. She never left me in the dark on anything and was always in contact with me no matter how busy she was. And one thing that I adore about Carissa is that she never sugar coats anything. Most people hate the fact that lawyers tell them no, that's unrealistic, or I can't do that; But I loved that fact about Carissa. She let me know about how things could go but also how things are most likely going to go. She never gives false hope and lets you know right away if something will most likely work or not. She is highly outspoken and some people can't handle that, so for the ratings on here that say shes horrible and rude, no SHE IS NOT! She is realistic, blunt, caring, and has a love for helping people. Like a lawyer should be. I thank you Carissa for helping me with my cases. It was money well spent! And I will always come to you for my family court cases :)

Carissa is a SMART attorney - very honest and knowledgeable. And if for some reason she may not know something she will be the first to admit it, and acquire the accurate information or answer needed. She was highly professional, but also genuinely concerned for me and my children throughout my case. I have nothing but praise for this outstanding woman - great attorney and individual! You won't be disappointed.

I would to take this time to thank Carissa Seidl for her hard work and dedication on my complex domestic case this past year. At the time I was going through a custody battle looking out for the safety of my daughter. I knew what type of tough personality my daughter’s mother has. I also knew what type of falsified information she would state about me in court and what she was capable of stating to a superior court. When I first met with Ms. Seidl in early 2013 she exhibited her strong work ethic and her personality that came with toughness, dedication, and ultimately the knowledge of law in custody cases when I filed for my emergency situation. In the beginning stages of my custody case she was prompt by requesting that the superior court mandate many requirements for my daughter’s mother to abide by in the best interest and for the safety of my daughter. Carissa Seidl has experience in many domestic custody cases throughout the entire state of Arizona and I truly can state her experience has made my daughter’s daily living environment safe and stabilized her home life, all for her well being. I truly recommend Carissa Seidl for any person that needs to file in an emergency situation for a custody case or any domestic case in Arizona.

I would recommend Carissa in a heart beat! Carissa was on my case for 5 months and represented me through my divorce process and the custody of my children. She went above and beyond what I had expected, was always available, honest and always direct with me on any questions or problems I had. Carissa was there to represent me and my family not my money! She was very quick to all responses and her knowledge regarding all laws and regulations about divorce and child custody were outstanding... I feel that Carissa was the best choice I could have made and she hands down proved me right in my decision. I plan on using Carissa on any future needs and would defiantly recommend her to anyone in need of her services.

She fought for me and what was legally my rights. Carissa and her team is understanding while being realistic . I was able to slowly get on with my life knowing she was handling everything that needed to be handled to protect me.
