A Very Rare Find

Allison is a kind, compassionate, and clear headed attorney whose skill and genuine care for her clients. She understands how vulnerable and emotional it is to be go through a divorce; her warmth and reassurance was invaluable to me and I hired her again when a post JOD matter came up. She's a rare ...find in this field - she's patient and never capitalizes on vulnerability.

One of the best and most compassionate divorce lawyers

I have only the best things to say about Allison. She helped me through my 4.5-year divorce saga with kindness, compassion and a deep knowledge of the law to help me achieve a resolution that was in the best interest of me and my kids. She did not hesitate to push back when I was being stubborn and w...as not listening to her. She is very goal and action oriented. I recommend her highly to help any woman going through a tough divorce. Thank you, Allison, you are the best.

A fabulous, personable, drama free lawyer to get the job done!

My divorce was sudden, contentious, and sadly dragged no for almost an entire year. And WOW, did Allison deliver throughout the entire thing to make sure we amicably (as tough as it was) settled prior to our contested court day. She is a natural pro that truly gets to know you, the full situation of ...the divorce, knows how to diffuse drama, and truly get everyone on the same page so both parties can move on with their lives. I cannot be more thankful for hiring a lawyer such as her to be by my side throughout the process. As busy as she is in both her work and personal life, she always made sure to communicate on where we were with the process and explained the steps I needed to understand very clearly. Anyone looking for a professional lawyer to get your divorce completed as quickly, efficiently, and without drama should hire her. SHE IS THE BEST. Divorce can be a very long and strenuous emotional roller coaster, but having Allison and her team (shoutout to her paralegal Jess for always being there when Allison could not) will take care of you and keep your head up as much as they can through it all. Thank you for everything, I am so happy it is all over and I chose the RIGHT lawyer to get the job done.

Fantastic and helpful!

I reached out to Allison when I began the divorce process and am so glad I did. She was always very patient and informative, walking me through what to expect and what my options were. I can't imagine going through the process without her; her pragmatic and kind approach made the whole thing so much ...easier!

Excellent attorney!!

I couldn't be happier that I hired Allison Holzman to represent me in my divorce. In a time where there was a great deal of uncertainty and stress about what the future holds, Allison walked me through the divorce process, explained the reality of the situation, and told me what to expect. In the end... everything she told me held true and it played out exactly like she said it would. Although the process was stressful, she was a great ally to have and set me at ease every time I was worried. She was always there anytime I needed her and stays on point as not to rack up billable hours. I highly recommend Allison to anyone in need of a great attorney who will be transparent and fulfill everything they promise.
