A Great Lawyer Who Genuinely Cares and Will Treat You Like a Person.

Ms. Holzman is a great lawyer who cares about her client. She communicates very well and is always accessible. She kept my best interest as her top priority through out my proceeding. She possess a good and clear understanding of the law. Her goal of getting me out of my situation as unscathe as poss...ible was successful. She does not make any outrageous promises, but she does set a real world level of expectation for the process and the outcome. Allison can be tenacious when the situation warrants it; however, she is level headed, and she understands that a cool head will serve my (her clients') interest best. People always say that lawyers only care about the $$$ they can bill for. I can honestly say that this is not the case with Allison. She was very mindful of my legal fees; furthermore, she even went out of her way a few times to keep the cost down. Should you ever find yourself in the unfortunate and sad circumstance of facing the end of your marriage, I highly recommend the services of Allison Holzman from Weinberger Law Group.

Super Lawayer: Allison Holzman

Allison is an amazing attorney! She is very personable! For years after my divorce I was fighting my ex-husband to adhere to his financial obligations for our daughter. However, after obtaining Allison she quickly reviewed the terms of our divorce agreement and fought for all the financial rights my ...daughter was entitled plus so much more! I cannot express my deepest gratitude for her countless efforts and timely responses, I am a single mother who was at a lost of how to deal with the court system. After the divorce, I was left with medical bills, no child support, no timely payments from my ex-husband for our daughter and no one from the Court willing to assist! Allison, and her assistant persistently moved on behalf of my daughter. I am pleased to say that as a result I was awarded over 12,000 a year plus child support! True financial security for my daughter! Allsion is a relentless lawyer and well worth every penny! If you are looking to invest wisely, then look no further! You won't regret it!

Allison Holzman, the woman who helped me come out of a horrible situation, and helped me find my smile again.

I was together with my ex husband for 22 years, and next April will have been my 20th wedding anniversary. As with all divorces, its safe to assume its a life altering event. Mine was devastating, made me feel betrayed, and overwhelmed. Along came my saving grace named Allison Holzman. There's a reas...on why a lawyer is also called counsel, and Allison Holzman went above and beyond in listening to me cry, whine, indulge in self pity, and everything in between. She held my hand throughout the whole process. I also wasn't the most agressive client, and on numerous occasions went into denial mode, and wanted to avoid the reality of the situation. She fought for me when I wouldn't fight for myself. She was firm when I needed it, anticipated my ex's lawyers dirty tricks always three steps ahead of him. She was so knowledgeable in her field, as well as reading people. My divorce was complicated, financially and especially emotionally and she made me feel safe and protected. I thought I would be an emotional wreck on the day my divorce was final, and yet Allison Holzman instead made me smile before court, putting me at ease, and even made me laugh afterwards. That was such a gift she will never comprehend the importance that was for me. Yes, this review is mostly about my emotions, but the end of a long marriage really is all about emotions aside from the settlement. I had to share the good, bad, and the ugly with her, reliving the facts of the ultimate betrayal, and she made the environment a safe one for me to share things I never wanted to even think about again. . Tomorrow will be the one month anniversary of my divorce , and I personally don't think I would have made it without her in my corner. I never felt I was just a generic client, an afterthought, as she and her assistant Maxine made me feel I was her only client even though she had so many at one time. She got me the best settlement considering all the dirty tactics that were used against us, such as numerous delay and stall tactics in the hopes I would run out of money, along with other unsavory practices. Yet, best of all she gave me my peace of mind which is priceless, a gift I could never repay. She was my lawyer, but now I consider her my friend. By the way, she may be tiny, but fights for her clients like a protective pitbull. You want her on your side, believe me, and by all means NOT on your future ex spouse.
