About Allison
Biography
Since becoming licensed in 1995, I have practiced almost exclusively in Family Court in South Carolina. I represent men and women who are going through divorce as well as child custody cases. I represent people with complex, "high dollar" divorces as well as people of modest means who need help.
Our firm also represents grandparents who are seeking custody and visitation. Additionally, I also routinely file actions regarding child support and alimony. I file actions for contempt against people who do not follow their Court orders and I also defend contempt of Court cases. Further, having worked as an attorney for the South Carolina Department of Social Services, I also defend DSS cases. With this wealth of experience, I am happy to help you.

Represented in 2009-2010 for divorce
Allison was very open, honest and forthcoming regarding my case and what i might expect. She went above and beyond with regards to reccomendations on the next step, course of actions and how to best handle all situations in a very ugly divorce/child custody/alimony case.
