Terrible in my case

My case with my ex was dragged out over THREE YEARS! Repeated phone calls and emails with no return from her. Was quoted $1500 for my case and paid over $4000. They diddle dallied around and let my case just hang out there. My ex then got enough time to file bankruptcy then I got screwed. Wouldn't re...commend her for my dog!

A review from an actual client

I've read these other reviews and it's clear to me that the two negative reviews are either from people trying to damage Meredith's reputation, likely because they were the opposing party, or who failed to heed her advice which resulted in a negative outcome for them. I've never met an attorney wh...o is better prepared for Court. She will go head to head with any lawyer in York and win. She returned my calls promptly and responded to my messages quickly. Her staff is knowledgeable and easy to reach. I've received emails and calls at night and on the weekends from this law office. Find me another attorney who will give you her personal cell phone number and take your calls on the weekend. She is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable in family law and helped us win a case that 3 other attorneys told us we had no standing to file. Ignore people who can't give a detailed review because they haven't actually met with Attorney Allie. I've hired her once and will retain her again in a heartbeat.

Child Custody Case

I met with several lawyers before choosing Meredith. After talking to her, we hired her instantly. She is very down to earth and she keeps everything simple and easy to understand. We actually recently went to court for our custody trial, and the verdict will come later in the week. I wanted to take ...time to write an unbiased review before the judge makes a decision. Meredith was very confidant and thorough. She had the other party and their witnesses getting flustered on stand when she caught them being deceptive (several times). I am still nervous as to how our custody schedules will work out due to our work schedules, but I am 99.999% certain that the scales have tipped in our favor. Current custody schedule is 50/50 with parents residing in two different counties, and the child is now of school age. May I also add, we saved at least $2,000 in comparison to what other lawyers in the area were charging. It was still a pretty penny (lawyers aren't cheap), but the best money we have ever spent on a lawyer.

Signed, Sealed and Delivered! 5 Stars

am thrilled to recommend Attorney Allie for legal representation. I retained her in March of 2014 on a legal matter that I had been dealing with for nearly 4 years. From the beginning, she stated the possible outcomes of the case both negative and positive. When the matter reached conclusion, I... couldn’t have been more than happy with the final result. She exceeded my expectations from the beginning. She is quick to respond, while also being quite aware that legal matters can be exhaustive both financially and emotionally. She sticks to the point of the matter and keeps cases moving with results. My wife was very impressed with her ability to also keep everyone calm and collected in the midst of adversity. I am basing this recommendation on personal results and how she delivered on my case. The most gratifying moment was not only my victory, but knowing that I had retained an honest and trustworthy Attorney while doing so. She comes highly recommended. Thank you Attorney Allie!

Knowledgeable, Trust-worthy, Honest

I worked with Meredith on my Unemployment Hearing. She was knowledgeable, considerate, and helped put me at ease with all the legalities and stress that went along with it. I would recommend her services highly!!!

"I endorse Meredith Allie. I have known Ms. Allie as a fellow attorney in the community for several years and have had the opportunity of witnessing first hand (both as opposing counsel and in a collaborative role) the aggressive, dynamic, and most importantly, effective, representation she provides to her clients. Her extensive trial experience and knowledge of Pennsylvania child custody law in combination with her compassionate approach to her clients' individual situations make her a zealous yet caring advocate for her clients and a formidable opponent to other attorneys across the full spectrum of child custody litigation."

"Meredith has been my law partner for the last four years. During this time I have been fortunate to have had a professional colleague and friend that is an extremely dedicated trial attorney with a keen sense of fairness and justice. Whether it is representing a family in a divorce or custody matter, saving a family's home through foreclosure assistance, or aggressively trying a consumer protection case, Meredith always displays passion for her client's matter and a specialized knowledge of the law. Her strength and determination make her a zealous advocate. Her perserverance in the face of difficult challenges has made her a well sought after legal counselor. If you have need of a strong and dependable lawyer, I recommend you call Meredith Allie."
