About
I was born and raised in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania; home of "The Bubblers". I graduated from Boiling Springs High School in 1999, attended Harrisburg Area Community College for two (2) years, and graduated Cum Laude from Shippensburg University in 2004 with a BA in Political Science.While in high school and college, I worked part-time for my family's business, Knisely's Pet and Farm Center, in Carlisle.I graduated from the Widener University School of Law in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 2007.While at Widener, I continued to work part-time for my family, and dedicated a significant amount of time and hard work to the Trial Advocacy Honor Society, serving as the External Vice President in my third year (3L). I was also the founding member of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America on my campus, and served as the President of this campus organization in both my second (2L) and third year (3L). While at Widener, I also attended and graduated from The Law and Government Insitute, and received The Widener University School of Law Distinguished Service Award.I maintained several internships during Law School, including positions with The Honorable Richard A. Lewis, Judge, Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas, The Law Offices of Steve Rice, Esq., in Gettysburg, The Cumberland County District Attorney's Office, The Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs, and The Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General, in the Criminal Appeals Division.Upon graduation from Law School, I accepted a Certified Legal Internship with The Dauphin County Office of the Public Defender pending results of both The Pennsylvania and New Jersey bar exams. After passing both the PA and NJ bars, I was offered an Assistant Public Defender position, which I graciously accepted. During my career as a Public Defender, I handled a large number of criminal matters, from the preliminary through the trial and appellate levels, as well as Children and Youth dependency cases.After 3.5 years with The Public Defenders, I am now proud to be an attorney with Kope and Associates.In my spare time, I enjoy outdoor activities, such as the Sprint Car Races at local dirt tracks, Tubing, Kayaking, Boating and White Water Rafting, as well as working with my family on our farm and in our Carriage Company as a driver.

I cannot say enough about Shaffer and Engle law practices. At the time I was being accused of something I did not even do by Pa state children and youth services. The case was given to the Pa state police who conducted an investigation into the allegations and closed the case without any charges being filed. Although I was never arrested or charged of any crime in this case that did not stop Pa state children and youth services from placing me on a state sexual offender list. When I first met Alyssa Knisely and Jeff Engle they were both very professional and easy to talk with. After reviewing my case they were able to sit down with me and go over all my options. While doing this they were explaining everything in a way that made it easy for me to follow without being caught up in all the legal talk. Jeff and Alyssa worked as a great team. As Jeff took the lead during the court hearing being able to bring so much into the open about this case. Alyssa was right there while they both conferred with each other to make sure they did not miss a thing. Without a doubt they were able to bring a close to this case with the best possible outcome for me.
Alyssa is a honest trust worthy attorney she holds no punches and gets straight to the point about what she can and can not do instead of leading you on like most attornees who lie good to get your money. and she also is beautiful, you would want to commit the pettiest crime so you can be in her presence.
