About Alyssa
Alyssa Sweeney is a Raleigh family law attorney with Triangle Divorce Lawyers who represents clients in divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support, equitable distribution, separation agreements, Domestic Violence Protective Orders, and other North Carolina family law matters. She serves clients in Wake, Johnston, Granville, Wilson, and surrounding counties.
Alyssa is particularly well-suited for clients facing high-conflict family law matters, survivors of domestic violence, and individuals who value consistent communication throughout their case. She understands that divorce, custody disputes, and other domestic matters can affect a person's safety, children, finances, and future. Her goal is to help clients feel heard, informed, and prepared to make important decisions.
Her approach combines compassion, strategic thinking, and clear communication. Alyssa keeps clients informed about the status of their case, explains the available options, and helps them understand what to expect next. She is prepared to advocate for clients in court while also pursuing negotiation or mediation when those approaches may provide a practical path toward resolution.
Alyssa has represented clients in hearings involving a wide range of family law issues in Wake County and other North Carolina courts. Her practice is litigation-focused, but she has also helped clients reach negotiated and mediated resolutions. She tailors her strategy to the circumstances of each case rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Originally from Maine, Alyssa moved to North Carolina to attend North Carolina State University. She graduated in 2020 with a major in Anthropology and a minor in Political Science before earning her law degree from Campbell University School of Law.
During law school, Alyssa gained hands-on family law experience through the Gailor Family Law Clinic, where she represented individuals in Wake County. She also studied abroad in Scotland, focusing on trial advocacy and litigation strategy. These experiences strengthened her ability to prepare carefully, communicate persuasively, and advocate effectively for clients.
Since becoming licensed in North Carolina in 2024, Alyssa has represented clients in courtroom proceedings, mediation, and settlement negotiations. She strives to provide a supportive presence throughout the legal process while helping clients move toward the next stage of their lives with greater confidence.
Outside the office, Alyssa enjoys spending time outdoors and taking long walks with her two dogs.
