Alise M. Price

I can’t recommend Alise Price highly enough! Her expertise, professionalism, and unwavering dedication made navigating my very difficult divorce with children as smooth and successful as possible. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, she was responsive, empathetic, and always had my best interests at heart. Thanks to her guidance, I achieved a positive outcome that exceeded my expectations. I not only continue to use her for ongoing situations with my case, I refer her to any friends and family who are in need of a Family Law attorney. If you’re seeking a trustworthy and exceptional attorney, look no further than Alise!

My experience with Alise began in the fall of 2022, when she was appointed as the Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) in my case following my wife's divorce filing. My ex-wife, who had abandoned our daughter at the age of two, returned when our daughter was nine. She came back after her felon boyfriend was sent back to prison, following years of living in Colorado, Arizona, and Florida, where she was attending various rehab programs for cocaine and alcohol addiction, dealing with an eating disorder, and receiving psychiatric services for borderline personality disorder. Upon her return in 2022, my ex-wife attempted to take her own life by jumping off a three-story balcony at her parents' place. Despite these alarming circumstances, the GAL demanded that I take a hair follicle test, which I did and passed. However, when she called the testing center, she misspelled my last name and accused me of not taking the test. Fast forward to the day of the trial: I had to represent myself because my attorney was overwhelmed by the aggressive tactics of my ex's legal team, including Barry Wolinetz. As a working man, I could no longer afford the exorbitant lawyer fees. The GAL recommended, and it was approved, that my daughter stay with my ex at her parents' house so she could attend St. Brendan’s, a private Catholic school. Following the GAL’s recommendation, my ex left for Denver, Colorado, to attend yet another rehab program without notifying me, the school, or anyone else. My daughter subsequently failed the fifth grade after being with her mother for a year. She is now taking anxiety medication and speaking with a psychiatrist. Despite this, Alise insisted that my daughter continue attending St. Brendan’s, claiming it was the only consistent thing in her life. Really? I was her consistent figure until my ex returned. A week before the trial date, Alise submitted her final report, accusing me of not feeding my daughter and leaving her unsupervised, which occurred during my ex’s custody time. At the end of her report, Alise stated that I couldn’t take care of myself. On the day of the trial, the judge refused to consider any sworn statements or police reports, stating that he trusted the GAL’s recommendation, thus eliminating any chance of me regaining custody of my child. After the trial, Alise and Barry took me out of the courtroom and began negotiating with me, threatening to make me pay all my ex’s attorney fees and to take more of my time with my child away. Ultimately, I lost custody of my child. Alise’s actions seemed aimed at creating conflict to line her and her co-counsel’s pockets. Her total bill came to over $7,000 for a 20-minute home visit, and she didn’t call a single one of my references, yet managed to call all of my ex’s references, including an illegal immigrant who works for her parents and a childhood friend of my ex. Alise is, in my view, a corrupt lawyer who creates conflict for profit. Many posts about her have been taken down, including mine, via court order. The corruption in the Franklin County court system is astonishing, run by an inner circle of lawyers who seem to work together to find ways to make more money at the expense of children’s best interests. Her "one bad parent" policy is affecting the lives of many children, alienating them from their parents. In my opinion Avoid her like the plague.

Because 0 stars is not an option. Did not take her client, my daughter, or what was best for her into consideration. Spoke with opposing counsel regularly and I was billed for it. Her reasoning behind her recommendation made it very clear that she and opposing counsel never read the proposed changes to the share parenting plan.

She sees through the situation. You will go to trial, just be patient.

Worst GAL ever did not listen to the kids sided with the father.
