Im a family lawyer who has used Judge Lemkuil many many times on some of my most difficult cases. Ive always found her to be professional and fair. It is true that she may spend more time meeting with one side but that is just how mediation works. Sometimes one party requires more explanation of the process. While she does push both sides to come to an agreement, Ive always found that she strives for fairness in that agreement. She is knowledgeable about the law and brings years of experience as a sitting judge to the table when she works. I recommend Alyssa Lemkuil as a family law mediator without reservation. I wouldnt take my clients there if I didnt have complete faith in her abilities.

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.

Truly one of the most gifted attorney/mediators In Texas. Ms Lemkuil combines sound legal family law experience, experience as a presiding family law judge, excellent people skills and an uncanny ability to facilitate the settlement of complex cases. Cases that are often highly contested and emotional. She’s also just a nice person who is well respected and appreciated.

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 practicing in Harris County for over 35 years. Judge Lemkuil is one of my favorite mediators. My clients have all appreciated the way Judge Lemkuil makes them feel like someone is listening to them. Her perspective of being a former family law judge is invaluable. Judge Lemkuil excels at helping lawyers and their clients see the big picture and think outside the box to negotiate agreed mediated settlement agreements. I mediate with Judge Lemkuil as often as I can. You should too.

Im a family lawyer, and Alyssa has mediated many of my cases over the years.

Alyssa is one of the best mediators in Houston. I’ve read some of her reviews and think people don’t understand that as a mediator it’s not her job to weigh the evidence and make rulings. Alyssa was an amazing judge, but as a mediator it’s not her job to make orders.Alyssa has served as my mediator on dozens of my cases, and also as an arbitrator. She always encourages settlement and works to bring people to an agreement under very emotional circumstances. Alyssa is awesome!!

Fair, straightforward, knowledgeable. Judge Lemkuil is a no-nonsense mediator who does not pick sides. Her demeanor is very professional yet engaging enough to show she cares for both parties. Her goal, as it should be, is to cut through the nonsense and find a settlement, a true mediated agreement. The offices are nice and clean, parking kinda stinks, but it is in a nice safe neighborhood. As much as I wish it was not necessary to hire her for her services I am glad it was her that serviced me. Oh wait, that doesnt sound right. All in all I recommend without hesitation.

For the record, not only am I a practicing attorney in Houston - I’m also NOT a Republican and very vocal about injustices in society. Nevertheless, my experience with Judge Lemkuil has been nothing short of amazing. She has helped our firm with some of the most difficult and intricate family law matters. So much so that most of our clients hug her and cry tears of joy regardless of the outcome because of her professionalism and ultimately her compassion. She was an excellent judge on the bench and that has carried over into her work as a trusted and knowledgeable mediator. We will continue to utilize her services and recommend her to anyone needing an excellent and experienced mediator with over 20 years experience in Family Law and the work to show for it.

I have had numerous cases mediated with Alyssa Lemkuil, who is an experienced and ultra-professional mediator who always has gotten the case settled for me. Being a former judge, she knows the law and she knows the judges so she brings a lot of background experience to the mediations. Faced with emotional and often unrealistic parties, she is able to understand what drives them and, working with their personal lawyers, gets them to understand the legal and factual realities facing them in court. Every lawyer I know is eager to get Alyssa as the mediator on their cases. I certainly am. I endorse her as a top-notch mediator.

I can say without hesitation that she is always thoughtful, respectful and knows the law.Anyone who would say otherwise obviously has ulterior motives. To be honest, 5 stars is too low. Her true rating is set out below.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10 Stars!)

Judge Lemkuil is an extraordinary mediator. She’s innovative, patient, and full of worthwhile suggestions. She’s a “go to” mediator for problematic family law cases. I’ve never been disappointed with her services. I’ve been practicing 40+ years and she’s as good as I’ve ever seen.

I am an attorney in Houston. Alyssa Lemkuil is always professional, respectful, knowledgeable, and works well with the parties and lawyers. I have never had a bad experience with Judge Lemkuil. Judge Lemkuil often mediates in my cases because both lawyers agree to use her! I highly recommend Judge Lemkuil but book in advance early!

Judge Lemkuil served Harris County for many years as a Family Court Judge. She is experienced, honest, and fair. I am proud to know her, and highly recommend her mediation services.

Alyssa is a former family court lawyer and judge. She is very pleasant to be around and has a charming demeanor. I must say being the petitioner offers more time with the mediator. My ex-wife had a long initial session, but after a second and third back and forth, Alyssa was able to gauge what was really happening and the root cause to the issues at hand. Im glad we went to Alyssa who was able to mediate a settlement which is in the best interest of our children. I say this with the best intentions, but i hope to never need to see her in that setting again.

This is the worst Mediator you can get. She is over priced and biased towards women. She provided a meal to one of the parties in mediation and not the other. She spent an inordinate amount of time with one party and not the other. She did not consider the tax consequences in the equitable distribution of assets.
