Unprepared & Extremely Unprofessional Lawyer

Ms. Aplin unpreparedness and unprofessional conduct in court were inexcusable and charges will be filed with the Bar Association for her disbarment.

Unfortunately in the business of divorce law anyone can write a review. I do not know Eileen. No client of mine by the name of Eileen has contacted my office stating she was a client that was not satisfied This is a false and misleading review. I am always prepared for court. Perhaps Eileen was the wife of one of my clients and has resorted to writing an inappropriate review. If this were truly my client I would believe that they would have spoken with me about the situation. Court has been VIRTUAL since March 2020 so Eileen is obviously mistaken in her review and comments. I do wish AVVO would ensure that an actual client writes the review by verifying with my office that in fact the person providing the review was an actual client. My staff also does not know of an Eileen who raised any of these issues at any time with my office.

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!

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!
