Family court/child support

Alison was an excellent attorney for My situation! She went after my daughters father for child support who hadn’t paid in 14 years! Well when it was time to really fight for what was mine she was like a viper in the court room! Needless to say she won the case for me! Thank you very much Aliso...n!

Did More Damage Than If I Didn't Have a Lawyer

Ms. Aplin cost me several hundred thousand dollars aside from her legal fees. She failed to file my discovery documents with the court. She also forgot to let me know when the court hearing dates were. My case was lost by default. I ended up having to pay maintenance that was overstated by my ex ...and his attorney.

hopelessly incompetent

Hiring Alison Aplin is the worst mistake a litigant could make. She took our case as a favor to another attorney and proceeded to represent the interests of that opposing firm (and our adversary) over her own client. Our children were denied their right to support for over a decade with Aplin repre...senting us. Yet she claims our household owes her money despite numerous attempts to settle with her office. She is unable to read papers that are in front of her in open court, doesn't return phone calls and is often late. When we fired her and retained another firm she withheld the file from our new attorney. Hiring Alison Aplin is a very costly mistake. BEWARE!

You won't be disappointed

Hiring Alison was the best thing I did. While my ex husband and I stayed out of court and agreed upon our divorce terms, Alison made sure the divorce agreement protected me and my children until the end. I recommend that you take her advice and be patient with the process. I highly suggest you go ...with Alison. She definitely will not disappoint you.

  • 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.
