Lisa's knowledge of landlord/tenant law, persistence, diligence and great character insight all contributed to the successful eviction of my problem tenant. Lisa uses her many years of experience to guide her clients through difficult legal situations. I truly appreciated her assistance and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone dealing with a difficult landlord/tenant situation.

Lisa took me case on referral at last minute notice, literally the 24th hour. She is witty, quick on her feet about various areas of law in relstion to landlord tenant, and works tirelessly even under tight circumstances. Lisa did not give up. She fought for me to the very end as the tenant. I was sure to be up front with her and follow her advice. With that she worked a miracle for me with her expertise, beautiful and engaging spirit. I definitely recommend Lisa Alvelo for legal representative and will use her again.

We were fortunate enough to hire Attorney Lisa Alvelo with very short notice after learning that the tenant retained counsel for a counterclaim to the dispossessory action. The tenant had vacated but was unwilling to pay required rent while raising habitability issues with the property. Attorney Lisa requested select documentation from us and gave assurance that we would be ready for the hearing. She came prepared to either negotiate or proceed to trial. During the trial, Attorney Lisa was tough, and would not allow the other counsel to ramble without cause or reference. She interrogated with precision and purpose to clearly extract opinion versus perception versus law, and represented us with professionalism and vigor. She was AMAZING and the outcome was in our favor. I’m just SO glad she was OUR attorney and we weren’t on the OTHER side!

Hired her to represent me as a tenant against a landlord that illegally withheld my security deposit. She tore them to pieces! She knows the law and stands up for you.

Took the stress out of my life after dealing with a difficult tenant. Can’t say enough good things. I got possession back and all past due rent. Great and honest communicator. Will refer and hire again.

Lisa was hired to help me get back possession of a condo we rent. She was very professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly she worked with a purpose. She was through and quick. We were very pleased with her work. I would use her again without hesitation. Excellent experience for us

My mother needed a lawyer to help her evict a house guest. Lisa was able to represent my mother in court, with only one day's notice. A real life Olivia Pope.

After several months of trying to evict a very difficult tenant without success, I decided it was time to hire a professional. When I given less than 24 hours notice of a hearing, Lisa managed to re-arrange her schedule and make it to court. In addition to getting me the "Writ of Possession" I needed in order to evict the tenant, she managed to get the tenant to pay all the back rent she owed in exchange for allowing the tenant to stay until the end of the month. Lisa's services were well worth the money I paid. I would highly recommend Lisa Alvelo Burris to handle your landlord tenant issues.

I had an excellent experience with Lisa. She handled the situation with outmost professionalism. I was very happy to have Lisa as my attorney. I was an out of state client for her and she kept me informed at every stage of the process. Lisa also referred to an eviction company to help push the tenant's stuff out of my house.
