Top Notch Divorce Lawyer

I cannot say enough positive things about Allison and her representation of me through my entire divorce. From our first meeting, I knew my case was in exceedingly competent hands. She was a calming presence in a time of extreme uncertainty. She was responsive, rational and well reasoned and alway...s made me feel confident that I was receiving top rate representation. Allison was collegial with opposing counsel which helped move the case along, but was also tough and stood her ground when necessary. She advocated fiercely for me when warranted, but was pragmatic and not unnecessarily adversarial. I would, without question, recommend Allison to anyone going through a divorce.

Efficient, Supportive, Available + Prudent

I would highly recommend Allison Holzman. I found Allison after firing my previous attorney - having wasted almost 3 years and several thousands. Allison finished my divorce in under 3 months. Not only was she efficient with time and money but she was supportive and available when I needed her. She r...efused to spend endless hours on the phone listening to the adversaries attorney and ultimately waste my money. She is focused, articulate, well admired by her peers and colleagues and without question the best decision I made during the divorce process.

Highly recommended

Allison helped me through a difficult separation and pre-divorce time with my spouse who I wound up reconciling with. She was responsive, a great communicator and took the time to make she understood the situation and what my ultimate goals/priorities were. As I told her in our initial meeting, lawy...ers aren't always the best clients--but she demonstrated a clear understanding of the complications I was dealing with. I recommend her without any reservations

EXPERT!

I hired Allison for my divorce and I am glad I did. My divorce was very complicated and I needed to get sole custody for the well-being of my children. It was a long and difficult role but having Allison on my side, made it much smoother. Allison knows her stuff!!! She is very honest and realistic.... If it is something worth fighting for, she is all in. She will do what's best for her client but keep it realistic. Advocates for her client and thinks logical without extreme emotion. Answers emails and calls in a timely fashion and makes your case a priority. If you want a serious and supportive lawyer, Allison is the one!

like a friend who looks out for your well-being

The best thing about Allison: unlike typical divorce attorneys, she will NOT provoke you deeper into conflict in order to profit from your misery. On the contrary: she will lay out what an expensive warlike divorce looks like, but because she puts the interests of you and your kids first, she advise...s you to take a more reasonable path even though she will make less money having you as a client. In other words, not only does she have very high professional standards but also moral and ethical standards as well. My case was a complicated one that involved some international jurisdiction, and almost all of the attorneys I called didn't want to bother because they didn't see how they could make a quick buck. Allison, on the other hand, had the patience to understand how she could be helpful and even offered a second consultation to assure me that she was the right fit. Also, she was professional enough to admit when she didn't have answers to complicated international questions and we worked through the difficult issues together. Finally, she was extremely generous with her time and prioritized my case when she had a plate overflowing with other work. I strongly recommend hiring Allison!
