Google reviewers rate Alyssa Lemkuil Mediation 4.5 out of 5 based on 24 reviews, with the owner replying to none. Positive feedback highlights her extensive experience as a former family court judge, noting her professional demeanor, legal knowledge, and ability to facilitate settlements in complex cases. However, a few low-star reviews criticize perceived bias toward specific parties, allegations of unequal time spent with clients, and concerns regarding pricing and communication during the mediation process.

Warm, professional and empathetic with vast and detailed knowledge of Texas family law. She quickly grasps the motivations and situations of each party and seeks to obtain the most elegant solution as efficiently and as drama0free as possible. Thoroughly impressed and highly recommend!
Alyssa is an amazing mediator. She is compassionate and always well prepared for. Have mediated with her multiple times and every time is great.
Just finished a mediation with this amazing woman. She’s everything a person fighting for there children should use! She’s Personable, funny, empathetic, honest and extremely experienced! Can’t wait to see her in 90 days.
I did not want to give her any stars but Google makes you. Opposing counsel Is friends with Alyssa and was adamant about her being appointed as mediator. I objected many times in my child support only case under UFISA interstate case. Opposing counsel wanted a full day of mediation for a single item. Mediator canceled mediation twice despite me wanting to proceed out of good faith. Opposing counsel and mediator in cahoots together from the beginning. Mediator refused to refund me despite not having mediation. She claimed her cancellation policy states she does not refund clients who cancel less than 3 business days. But she never provided me a cancellation policy nor did I sign any agreement with her. She is manipulative, lies and is all about money. I’m a single mom of two young children trying to get the father to be held financially responsible. Sick and twisted the mediator and opposing counsel are against doing right for the children. DO NOT HIRE
Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with the tactics utilized. Had high hopes after the reviews. But a party should never leave a mediation without having any of their claims addressed or mediated. When a complex mediation simply addresses one issue of one party, it is not adequate. How does this happen? When a mediator takes advantage of a young attorney and bull doses and abuses her power to pressure the other party by placing undo duress including rushing in at the last minute before time is over indicating paperwork needs to be signed. Not leaving time for adequate review and then even that document does not adequately and correctly state the very limited and one-sided agreement. As well as representing scenarios to a party to which a court would never subject a child. Very manipulative.
Helpful, fair, empathetic, efficient, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. The perfect mediator! Highly recommend!!
I have practiced family law for fifty-three years. I have been board certified as a family law specialist for over forty-five years. I am a certified arbitrator and mediator. I have participated in hundreds of mediations. I have never seen a better mediator than Alyssa Lemkuil. She has experience as a judge and is very knowledgeable as to community property law in Texas. I did not know her prior to the mediation she conducted on May 6, 2022. I highly recommend her.
It has been a privilege over the years to mediate with Judge Lemkuil. Judge Lemkuil is highly competent; has a great understanding quickly of the issues that require her time and attention to push the mediation forward; and takes the time to read all memorandum/materials sent to her before mediation. I have had horrible experiences in the past with other mediators asking me questions at the start of mediation that made it fully obvious to me that they had not taken one moment to read the information/docs sent to them prior to mediation. Not the case with Judge Lemkuil at all (not even once), as she has hit the ground running every time with a full understanding of my memorandum/materials, giving my clients and I the best chance to fully exhaust reasonable settlement avenues. Given my prior experiences with Judge Lemkuil, I would highly recommend her to any attorney that values prior judicial experience combined with prepared competence.
As a practicing family law attorney, it is important to me to select a competent, fair, and knowledgeable mediator for each of my cases. There is a reason I have mediated with Alyssa Lemkuil many times in the past - that is because she is the paramount picture of legal knowledge, fairness, and a sense of understanding what can happen in court. Working with her is always a delight, and my clients report back the same experience. I would (and frequently do) recommend Alyssa for your next mediation.
I am a family law attorney. Judge Lemkuil is an experienced family law attorney and Judge, who I call frequently for ideas on how to get difficult cases resolved. She is a wealth of information. Judge Lemkuil while forceful and determined to get a case settled, is always professional to all parties and focuses on the goals of the day. I highly recommend her for any tough family law case in need of a strong mediator.
