Will and Power of Attorney

We worked with Allison to create our wills, living wills and powers of attorney. She was very helpful, giving us a step by step structure with which to consider each area of our legacy. Once completed, her thorough review helped us create solid protection for ourselves and our heirs. I would highly r...ecommend Allison for your estate planning.

Professional, Quick, and Heartfelt

Our family needed help quickly with the preparation of a healthcare power of attorney and general durable power of attorney for our 90 year old mother. Allison responded to my request within an hour, and met us the very next day at my mother's apartment. She took time to carefully explain the proce...ss to my mother, listening and advising with heart and professionalism. The entire process was a breeze and we feel completely at ease, protected and know that we are in good hands. Allison has kept me informed every step of the way regarding what to expect, timeframe, and what to be prepared for. It gives me, my mother, and my entire family a great sense of relief to know that we have a trusted advocate and experienced attorney on our side.

Helpful referral from knowledgeable lawyer

I worked with Allison several years ago when my employer required me to sign documentation regarding pharmacy errors. I felt uncomfortable signing the forms, but had no idea where to turn. Allison listened to my case and referred me to the Allegheny Bar Association, who then connected me to an empl...oyment lawyer. Without her help, I would not have known what to do to protect myself. Allison's professionalism and passion for her field would lead me to use her services in the future, and to recommend her to others.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
