Allison E. Holzman

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!

She let my ex take all my money from a joint account without going after it. Then, after trumping up and extra $1000 in costs when she was fired, she continues to charge me going forward. They will try to force you to sign something to waive all of your rights when they promise to only alleviate ...some usury interest in some trumped up costs.

I met Allison through a Second Saturday divorce workshop and knew immediately that she was the right attorney for me. She is the perfect blend of ‘easy-going’ and ‘tough-as-nails’. I found her to be organized, responsive to all my messages, questions and concerns, reassuring and skillful at negotiat...ing. Her style is unpretentious and down-to-earth yet she is a powerhouse when working out a settlement. Highly recommended.

From my initial consultation to the finalization of my divorce, Allison handled my case with an impressive level of proficiency, professionalism and attentiveness. From the onset, her knowledge and experience were evident. She even managed to accurately predict when my divorce would be finalized. ...The bulk of our contact was achieved via email, which proved to be the most efficient form of communication, considering my busy schedule. She always promptly responded to my questions or concerns. Even when I sent Allison emails outside of traditional business hours, she was certain to respond timely. Allison had a very practical approach to my case and never lost sight of the goal – to get me divorced sooner rather than later. She refrained from engaging in unproductive, useless, back and forth arguments with opposing counsel, but instead, kept her communication civil and direct. For most, divorce can be a highly emotional and contentious affair which can lead to irrational decisions, but Allison kept me grounded and levelheaded. On numerous occasions, she offered cost-effective advice and guidance. In my line of work, I am accustomed to seeing outrageous legal fees, but with Allison, her bills were justified. While I don’t ever intend on going through this ordeal again, I have no reservations with highly recommending Allison to anyone in need of an extremely competent divorce attorney.

Allison was very thorough and organized throughout the entire case. Her defense was very accurate throughout all consents and court. This was the second time Allison represented me and I was victorious in both cases. I would recommend Allison to anyone for defense in the future. She has made my life... easier by disputed the plantiff's false accusations and presented the truth.
