Run don't walk. Unprofessional. Unreliable.

I hired Ms. Allison to represent me for a feeling case after speaking to her I felt that she understood me. At the beginning everything was great, I paid the retainer fees and roughly a week later communication with her became impossible. When I finally get in touch with her she would forgets importa...nt key information about my case, I ended up dealing with dcf alone as regard to getting my child back. Fast forward to court date, the first one she missed. No calls no shows. The judge reschedule once again no shows. Strangely each time we have court dates she would disappear and claimed to have been in the hospital. I tried firing her but she pleaded with me not to, being young and dumb I retracted my statement and allowed her to continue to represent me. Thankfully the state didn't have much to go on with, they offered me to classes and they will close the case... great I accepted however she had to sign the papers stating that we agreed once again she's a no-show, no calls. The case dragged on for another 2 months at this point the judge is getting frustrated with us and turned around and asked "if I wanted a public defender" I accepted and we signed papers and closed it. Ms. Allison failed to do her job as an attorney, the moment she got the money everything changes. She's careless and negligent. I wouldn't recommend her for nothing. I even filed a complaint with the board, this woman have zero business in the courtroom or practicing law.

Amazing and Conscientious Attorney

Mrs. Allison Kelliher did an excellent job representing me in a very serious criminal case where I was facing a significant amount of prison time. Allison's excellent legal work together with the obvious respect the Judge and Prosecutor had for her unquestionably led to my very positive legal outcome.... Allison is transparent, diligent, responsive, and very eloquent in court. I am very happy with my decision to hire her.

Never answers texts/calls

Never answers texts/calls when you need questions answered especially when you call so many times. Not sure if she really even cares

Trustworthy, Knowledgeable, and Gets Things Done!

I consulted with several lawyers regarding my criminal case, and it was evident that Allison Kelliher was the best choice to hire. Allison was genuinely concerned about me and resolving the misdemeanor in my favor. Allison was proactive and communicative throughout the whole process and made me feel ...at ease with every court appearance. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a top-notch attorney!

Awesome Attorney!

I hired Allison Kelliher for my divorce matter. Allison was very responsive by the end of the business day to my phone calls, e-mails and text messages. I was impressed with her professionalism with me as a client. Specifically, Allison would be waiting for me at the lobby of the Delray Beach Courtho...use on the dates of my court appearances to ensure that I was fully briefed before heading into the proceeding. The divorce matter was resolved in my favor. Allison's legal knowledge, attention to detail and ability to keep me informed of all my legal options sets her ahead of all the lawyers in Florida. I highly recommend her for any legal needs should any issues arise.
