Excellent Lawyer

Allison was extremely thorough and helpful throughout the home buying process. She responded promptly to all questions and advocated for me successfully. I would highly recommend her as a real estate attorney.

Great Experience

I used Floman DePaola for my house closing last year and I had a great experience. Allison was there for us through the entire closing process and readily available to answer any questions we had. I will be using her in the near future for estate planning and highly recommend her services for any of ...your legal needs!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
