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.

My Lawyer!
"Don't worry". The words Allison said to me after I hired her the first time. Of course, I didn't listen. It's hard to trust anyone when you're going through a divorce/custody "battle". It was hard for me to understand how anyone could fully grasp my case in 30, 45, or even 90 minute meetings. A...
