Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have known Steve for three years first as a colleague and then as a friend. I have always been impressed with the level of knowledge and professionalism that he has in the area of guardianship and conservatorships. It is clear that he cares about doing the right thing for his clients and for the people entrusted to his care and that he will go to great lengths to make sure that their needs are met the right way the first time. The depth and breadth of his knowledge in his field of practice is readily apparent and he has always been willing to share his expertise and knowledge with me and other colleagues.

Relationship: Friend
I endorse Steven Allison for any position in the legal field. Steve is professional, competent, honest and a quick learner. I have worked closely with Steve on numerous probate cases and have often sought his counsel on legal matters. Steven Allison, would be an asset to any firm or organization. He a community oriented individual that shows interest and concern for clients and friends. I find it difficult at best to recommend a friend in a written manner. It lacks the personal feelings a person might have for a friend and college. Keith V. Sittnick, Esq.
