She is known for combining strategic legal analysis with an empathetic approach, ensuring her clients receive both exceptional representation and unwavering support during challenging times. Alisa has helped clients in Fairfax and Manassas navigate divorce, custody, and other family law challenges with a blend of fierce advocacy and genuine compassion.

Alisa’s career began as a judicial law clerk for the Honorable Marcus D.

She went on to serve as an enforcement attorney with the U.S. Department of Transportation and as an associate at Norton Rose Fulbright, LLP —one of the largest and highest-grossing law firms in the world. Transitioning to family law, she worked for Virginia’s largest family law firm before establishing NOVA Legal Professionals in 2020. She founded NOVA Legal Professionals to provide clients with more personal, attentive service.
