The Terminator aka Alison Aplin

I’ve used Allison for over 10 years, in almost every different court there is and I don’t care what anybody says this is the lawyer that you need, she doesn’t sugarcoat it she tells you exactly how it is and don’t waste her time trying to lie to her, she’s heard it all. Ms. Aplin goes in there and do...es what she says and then some, I’ve seen it done on more than one occasion. I’ve referred her to at least 20-30 different people and they either already acquired her services or they were in the process. You pay her for results, to fight and protect you, you don’t pay her to hold your hand and give you hugs and kisses, that’s why I call her The Terminator. Sorry Alison but you are the best!!!

Made a Miserable Divorce Worse

Hired her. Knowledgeable. Completely unfriendly. Not supportive. Waits til last minute to prepare leaving it to the judge to make decisions without supporting documentation. You don’t feel like she’s trying to win for you, just go along with the other side to get through it. Fees fair and properly... applied. Unpleasant person for a lousy process.

Not providing a name should be a clear indication that this is not a real client with any actual knowledge of my manner of practice. I would suspect most of my adversaries would disagree with this review as I rarely "just go along with the other side". In fact I zealously advocate for my clients. I am presently representing second and third generations within the same family. Divorces are not pleasant. It is not me that is unpleasant. It is generally the law, the process and the emotional toll that a divorce takes upon the client that is unpleasant. I am; however, direct and candid with my clients at all times.

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!

Extremely Satisfied

Alison has been extremely assistive and attentive throughout the duration of our case. She remained professional, yet understanding to our needs. Anytime we needed her, she was easily accessible and prepared to help. I am proud to have been represented by such a vibrant and dediated attorney.
