Highly skilled excellent attorney

Ms. Alison Talbert has been my attorney since 2005 and she has extensive experience in both the criminal and civil courts. She is dedicated to providing quality representation to her clients; she is both compassionate and knowledgeable, and she keeps her clients very well informed. She is professio...nal, thorough and highly skilled, she is an excellent attorney and I enthusiastically recommend her.

WONDERFUL & AWESOME ATTORNEY

Ms. Talbert is a true professional who provides excellent representation. In addition to numerous legal questions/consults, I have been Ms. Talbert's client for my child custody case and have been very impressed with the way my case was handled. I have known Ms. Talbert for a number of years and have... admiration for her and what she does for her clients. She is an outstanding attorney! I was always kept informed and up to date on the progress of my case. From the initial consultation, Ms. Talbert impressed me with her knowledge by formulating and talking over a plan for what to expect throughout the process. She is honest, up front and direct with her communication - meaning she is always willing to listen to requests, but also isn't afraid to tell you if you're asking for something unconventional or unreasonable. More importantly, she always fully answers questions and provides solid rationales with her recommendations and answers. Ms. Talbert is always well prepared and put us at ease during very stressful litigations. She strives to help find a solution that both parties can agree to, but she will shine and represent your case very well if your case needs to go to trial! I felt very confident when we had to go to trial and it was evident that we always had the best counselor in the room. Her and her law partener did an outstanding job at my trial and did an amazing job of presenting the FACTS of the case. Finding the same attorney who is also ethical, honest, excellent in communication and genuinely wants to provide you with the best legal representation is even harder to find. Arroyo & Talbert, P.A. will provide you with an excellent Law Firm and I will continue to highly recommend Alison Talbert to all my colleagues, family and friends.

If at any time in the future I need legal advise, I will turn to Ms. Talbert. I have complete trust in her knowledge of law and wil always recommend her to my friends and f...amily members. If you need an attorney that knows law, that can be trusted and will keep you up to date on your case, Alison Talbert is the person to help you. Not only is she an amazing attorney, her partener and staff are helpful and knowledgeable.

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.
