Meet Alisa Kharis

Founder & Lead Mediator, Compass Mediation Group

25+ Years of Mediation Experience. 16 Years in the Courtroom. One Mission: Resolution.

Alisa Kharis founded Compass Mediation Group with a mission to provide compassionate, effective dispute resolution for individuals, families, and businesses. With a Juris Doctorate from Seattle University School of Law, 16 years as a former practicing attorney (1996–2012) in Washington state courts, 25+ years of mediation experience and education, and Master Mediator certification from the International Mediation Association (IMA), Alisa brings a depth of knowledge and human understanding that is rare in the mediation profession.

 

Every mediation session at Compass Mediation Group is led personally by Alisa. She does not delegate cases or hand clients off to associates. When you work with Compass Mediation Group, you work directly with a seasoned professional who is fully invested in helping you reach a fair, lasting resolution.

 

Alisa's practice spans four core areas: divorce mediation, family mediation, business mediation, and estate mediation. Her combined legal training, tax expertise as an IRS Enrolled Agent, and real-world business ownership experience make her particularly effective in cases involving complex assets, tax implications, business valuations, and multi-party disputes.

A Personal Note from Alisa

Component 15.png

I started Compass Mediation Group because I saw too many people going through divorce, family conflict, and business disputes being told that the only option was to fight it out in court. After 16 years practicing law in courtrooms across Washington — in King County, Pierce County, Kitsap County, and beyond — I knew that was rarely true, and it was almost never the best option. Mediation gives people the chance to make their own decisions, on their own terms, with guidance from someone who understands both the legal and human sides of what they are going through.

​

Every case I take on matters to me personally. I know that the people sitting in my sessions are going through one of the hardest chapters of their lives, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always the same: to help you find a resolution that is fair, that you understand, and that lets you move forward.

​

Important Note: Mediation Is Not Legal Representation

Compass Mediation Group does not provide legal advice or legal representation. While Alisa Kharis holds a Juris Doctorate and previously practiced law for 16 years (1996–2012), she is exclusively a mediator and does not act as an attorney for any party. Her legal background informs and enriches the mediation process, giving her a deep understanding of the legal landscape — but she does not practice law. Clients are encouraged to consult with independent attorneys for legal counsel. Alisa is happy to refer clients seeking legal representation to qualified attorneys.
