For over 17 years I have been and continue to be a dedicated and zealous advocate for my clients. I truly love family law and enjoy being in the courtroom. I have met with thousands of clients in crisis, listened to their stories and provided advice that I felt was the best for each client in their unique situation. I conduct client led consultations that allow folks to tell me their story so that I can provide guidance tailored to each family. Born and raised in North Carolina, and practicing in Union County since 1998, I have practiced every day in front of judges and other lawyers in the same district. This means that each client benefits from each and every day of experience I have had in front of the very Judge that may be assigned to your case.

I have known Allison for 18 years and have enormous confidence in her abilities and skill in the the area of family law. Allison is always extremely well prepared and a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom! She is a straight shooter and well respected by her peers. When she enters the courtroom for a client, opposing lawyers know they better be ready for a fight. She's great!
