The Best!!!!

Alison was the 3rd attorney I consulted with for my divorce. After my consult with her I knew she was the right attorney for me. I was devasted to be going through divorce but she helped get my life back together for myself and my son. Everything Alison prepared was explained to me and easy to under...stand. I will be forever grateful for Alison and where I am at today. Endless thank you’s Alison, Jennifer, and the Weinberger Family Law Group.

Highly recommend

Ms Dunn was sharp throughout the entire process of custody and divorce. She would always return calls and emails almost instantly which proved she cared about me and my case. She broke down the process and legal jargon to language that was understandable to the normal person. I would highly recommend... Alison for anyone who is looking for a family lawyer.

Knowledgeable and communicative!

Alison was so helpful to me as I worked through my divorce. She was extremely knowledgeable about the process, and she was very committed to discussing any situations that came up and allaying any concerns I had throughout the process. Prior to working with Alison, I had so many questions, and I was ...worried about the ramifications of any decision I made throughout the process. She was able to guide me through my divorce with ease. Her warm yet professional nature made me feel incredibly comfortable. It was a very difficult time for me, but Alison was able to assuage my fears and concerns. I recommend Alison to anyone looking for a committed and kind professional.

Excellent Attorney!

Alison walked me through the divorce process step by step. She made herself available by phone or email whenever I had questions along the way. Thanks to her expert advice, I was able to get through my divorce quickly and fairly.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
