A compassionate and knowledgable lawyer, absolutely the best!

Allison is by far the best lawyer there is for all type of divorce cases. Her experience in handling a highly contested divorce is superb. Personally, I went through a very tough and bitter divorce. Allison has made the situation much more manageable with her compassion to help. She continuously ...looked out for the best interest of me and my children. She has demonstrated her expertise in the field of child custody law throughout my divorce. She strives for the best outcome for her client in any situation. Overall, I highly recommend her for her professionalism, ethics, and expertise.

Allison Holzman

Allison took a very difficult situation and made it totally manageable. She is clear and concise in explaining everything but never made me feel like my questions were stupid. She handled the complex areas of foreign assets with ease. Allison has a personable approach I really appreciated and obvio...usly had my best interests at heart. Allison kept me informed, advised well and accepted my wishes and always checked in before confirming anything with finality. I appreciated her flexibility and patience with me and her ability to not make me feel judged.

highly recommend - very understanding

Allison Holzman recently represented me in a divorce which included custody issues, a house and marital assets. I was deeply concerned about the entire situation and had no experience with matters such as these. I initially contacted Ms. Holzman over the phone and was immediately comfortable as I... felt she was giving me information without trying to convince me that any one way was the right way. I wanted an efficient process and was not aiming to fight over every little issue. Ms. Holzman gained my trust and she listened and showed empathy during the whole process and made sure I understood every step. She was smart and knowledgeable on all aspects of the case and proactive in briefing me on potential issues. I observed her very professional negotiation skills both in correspondence and in person. She was aggressive and stern only when needed and only when we were aligned on objectives and approach. This was important to me. I felt the overall outcome was positive and in the best interests of my children and myself. I would recommend Ms. Holzman to others as she is a compassionate and highly skilled attorney.

A. Holzman

Ms. Holzman provided timely, sound and thorough legal counsel. Alison demonstrated excellent knowledge of case law and represented me professionally and in a manner that quickly brought ease to me and to my situation. Ms. Holzman sought out my thoughts and concerns and considered and included them ...in our communications and proceedings. She is highly skilled, trustworthy and overall was a complete pleasure to work with.

Straight shooter

Allison represented me in my recent divorce. She tells it like it is- a straight shooter- she is straight about telling you where things will end up and where time should be spent and where time is wasted. I appreciated her being to the point. As divorce proceedings have ample emotions attached, she ... also listened to my occasional rants and then return to the point. She knows her business thoroughly, including the local judges and their inclinations.
