Franklin County Guardian ad Litem Reviews 2026 - Columbus, Ohio

Official Franklin County, 2026 Guardian Ad Litem (GAL/JAL) list: HERE

Finding the right GAL is one of the most important choices in a contentions divorce. Once appointed, transparency and accountability are non-existent for these court-appointed attornies. In our overburdened courts, Judges often will simply default to a GAL's opinion, while these GALs enjoy full immunity. This has created an unaccountability loophole the courts love to abuse with no checks or balances. Like many, if you or your family has been mistreadted by a court-appointed GAL your only recourse is to file a grievance with the Ohio Supreme Court and the Ohio State Bar, consider a Legal Malpractice claim or an Abuse of Process suit.

Alise Price has to be the worst Guardian ad Litem in the world. As others have mentioned, she does nothing. She did a home interview at each residence and one school visit and based her decision off that. She refused to interview any character witnesses and constantly deflected any requests to actually look at any facts or information we had. Please, if she is appointed to your case, do what you can to demand someone else. She'll take your money, do the bare minimum, and write a report that has nothing to do with the actual situation.

I was supposed to see my son. Then Alise changed her mind. Apparently I was supposed to go to counseling. It was hard to make time when I had to work more. I had to work more to make extra money to pay the lawyers. Wouldn't job security and stability be an important factor with seeing your kid? I have continued to contact her but I get no response. I am squeezing in a therapist appointment in between job this week. I told her and still got no response.

This GAL seems to work for the attorneys, and not the children (her clients). She ensures she empowers the parent who will NOT settle regardless of the best interest of the chikd standards. Choosing the parent whom will not settle forces a long, and costly process. This means money for her friends in the court house. She is sick. Her laten disregard for children and their families is unimaginable. The facts of a case to not matter to her. The truth does not matter. All she cares about is money. And she said it multiple times during the many years my family has been placed in her dirty hands. She needs disbarred.

Alise Price was my attorney and I had to fire her. When she wrote one of the first motions for me, she completely exaggerated the truth to the point where statements were untrue. When I called her on it, she became defensive and told me to toughen up. Soon after, she didn't return my phone calls, but had no problem billing me. The time and money to find alternative counsel was not cheap and put my case that much further behind. Don't get me wrong, I am not a big fan of my ex, but I certainly did not want to lie to get ahead with the court. I attended a domestic violence support group last week and folks were sharing names of recommended attorneys. For what it's worth, Alise's name got brought up multiple times as one to avoid. I quickly learned that my situation with her was not unique. I don't typically post on these rating sites, but if I can save someone the grief I've gone through with Ms. Price, I feel it's important I do. Thank you.

A nightmare from beginning to end. An unprofessional, lying hack who only moved quickly when it was time to cash the check. Enjoyed a free vacation to Florida in her role of (LOL) guardian ad litem, but never produced a report at any stage of the game. Later said she would furnish me with positive notes, but (surprise, surprise) lied about that, too. Look at the other reviews. Do not ever hire this person or you will regret it forever. If she is assigned to your case as guardian, insist upon a new one. I cannot warn you enough against this horrible, horrible lawyer and person. Her bar complaint is ready and I really hope someone finally stops this joke of a lawyer before she can take advantage of or hurt anyone else.

AP did home visits and did not read documents, look at footage or contact references. Not even a school visit. the GAL report was so heinous and off-beat that I had to dismiss my request for a hearing, whereby my attorney then notified me that he needed $8,0000 to continue. Upon new hearing, AP was again reassigned charging hundreds more. 2nd time around, bad body language, lack of eye contact and her comments "Oh I knew this would come up again" were unprofessional. My daughter explained clearly to AP that she desired to be with me and AP stated in response "her reasons for wanting to be with mother weren't good enough". Dad has been in jail for DV, has a history of absconding, lies and contradictions within court hearing transcripts and other professional documentation. Total diservice. Not pleased at all.

After having this useless excuse for an attorney in my case, I can agree she only has her pockets in mind. Keep sending complaints to the Bar. Hopefully something will be done about her. If she has to go out of town for a visit, it will become her vacation that you will be paying for. While doing my visit, she stayed 45 minutes and said “I have tickets to Jersey Boys and have to leave”.

Alise did a phone interview with me, whereby I stated that I generally believe that girls should be with their mothers. In her opinion this is far from the truth. She stated (very pointedly) personal information showing a bias such as that she was solely raised by her father and did not have a relationship with her mother. Blatantly biased. She cannot seem to keep her personal opinions separate from cases, at all.

Totally agree with the other review that she will lie to the court and make up or change what you say. She is a liar, unethical, unprofessional and goes outside the boundaries of her job. Her job as a Parenting Coordinator (PC) is to settle monetary disputes between the 2 sides. As a Parenting Coordinator (PC), she is not permitted to give advice to either side, yet she often gave advice to my ex, she is not to be repairing relationships, yet she attempted to force my child to meet with her father when Alise was told over and over that my child had no interest or desire to meet with him (again--not her job as a PC), she sided with him on every issue except one, wrote scathing comments about me in her report to the court, yet she didn't even once mention his name-calling of me, belittling, condescending attitude, his lies, and all of his games. She was friends with the ex's attorney and this was an obvious case of "I'll scratch your back, if you scratch mine". The ex's attorney fought and recommended Alise as a PC. I found out later that they are friends, and it's apparent since the ex's attorney got her my case that Alise paid her back by siding with her client. She called the ex's attorney multiple times yet she NEVER returned any of my attorney's emails or phone calls. I suggested that she contact my attorney several times as well. Recall, her job is to resolve monetary disputes--so why did she go to look at my Facebook page and include things I posted on Facebook in her report to the court. But, she didn't look at the ex's Facebook account. SHE IS UNETHICAL AND BIASED! Alise also snapped when she was called out on her lies and blatant bias. If you get her assigned as either a parenting coordinator or a GAL, fight to have her removed and request a different one. Do as many others have suggested and have done and file a complaint with the Ohio Bar association to help get Alise Price.

I agree with the previous reviews on this GAL - Alise Price. She blatantly lied in several hearings - even in trial. She is beyond unethical - she has covered up my ex's criminal behavior and lies in every case for nearly 7 years. Do not hesitate to file a bar complaint - everyone that has dealt with the same from her needs to. She needs to be held accountable. She lacks integrity and needs to be disbarred. She will change what you say and lie, and suppress evidence. Request another GAL immediately if she is assigned to your case. The reviews that says she is amazing is most likely from her friends, family, or associates.

Alise Price is the opposite of what a guardian ad litem should be. I will be opening my case again because of this woman’s bias, non communication and very unprofessional work ethics. If you are considered the “under dog”, she will join the band wagon and scrutinize you. We had a long case where we all did a lot of work except for her. She was unavailable, called no witnesses and when I would get her bill she literally would call and contact the other party but could never seem to even respond to an email of mine. She called me over a freaking book I gave to my son because it involved the word “family”. She belittled me and was straight up a bully. If you are assigned this witch, I wish you luck. She’s extremely inappropriate and I suggest you always have your lawyer present when she talks to you.

Accepted payment and disappeared for 2 weeks, then told me she wanted to do her visit on short notice. In all hearings before the magistrate it was very clear she had her recommendations determined before even doing her visit with my ex. She perpetuated lies from the opposing council on multiple occasions and made it very clear she never read the proposed modification. I was told that I had to go to a parenting coordinator and listen to the constant lies of my ex for an hour at a time. Very clear that the continued dragging out of my case was a money grab. Her rational was unfounded and could very well be proven wrong.

Alise was a mediation attorney in which she was supposed to be neutral for our volatile case, which involved my ex abusing me and my children. She favored 1 side (see below). She lied to the magistrate saying I was eavesdropping when fact is I was there to pick up my daughter's school-issued Chromebook & backpack her dad took & refused to return, making my daughter (A.) have to explain to her teachers why she couldn't do her school work. Ali said she would get it from him, & wanted A. to meet Ali & her dad at Ali's office. A. didn't want to be around her dad cause of his abuse. I emailed Ali I would pick it up. She was on phone when I arrived. I paced the hall waiting for her to be free, occasionally cking if there were still voices from phone. She twisted that into lying to the magistrate saying I was eavesdropping. She NEVER returned my attorney's calls but did return ex's attorney's calls multiple times (as shown on billing statement). Her many other poor ratings show consistency

Chris Heckert played a crucial role as the Guardian Ad Litem in our case & helping us come to a settlement. I’m pleased to say that my son’s mom & I are getting along better than ever now. I’d trust him as an attorney as well as the GAL. I’d definitely recommend Chris!

I cannot recommend Chris and his team enough. His 20 plus years of experience, gives him the tools to provide recommendations pretrial that lead to a great result on judgement day. Not only is Chris great, but Marybeth his paralegal is fantastic to work with.

Chris was very thorough in handling my daughter's case, very responsive with any questions we had and explained everything to us in detail. We also ended up with the outcome we hoped for, which we owe to Chris. High recommend!
