Alison Baxter Herlihy

Alison was instrumental in navigating through the legal process of custody and divorce. Within a few minutes of my consultation I felt comfortable and engaged for my life event. The communication you receive from Alison and Bre is the perfect touch to keep you in a comfortable place throughout the process. I’m very grateful for everything Alison and Bre did for me throughout my divorce.

Alison is definitely the best lawyer in the area for custody and family law. Her and Bre kept me very informed, were extremely affordable, and made sure I knew I was taken care of. Can't thank them enough!!

I had to return to court after a very contentious divorce. My previous attorney took another job and had to resign from my case, and I was directed by friends to call Ms. Herlihy. From start to finish, Alison handled my case well. I always felt comfortable asking questions or asking for advice. She is clearly very capable, and very easy to work with. I was completely confident with Ms. Herlihy representing me.

After a 32 year marriage and facing an imminent divorce, a friend recommended Ms. Herlihy to me for a consultation. Upon entering the front door, I was met with a warm and welcoming atmosphere created by Bre, Ms. Herlihy's paralegal. After the consultation, I retained Ms. Herlihy to represent me in the divorce proceedings. From beginning to end, Ms. Herlihy alleviated all of my fears and concerns. She answered every question with care and compassion. She was very understanding and accommodating regarding the payment for her services. She and her paralegal made a sad, stressful, heartbreaking experience much easier to bear.

I am thrilled with my decision to have Alison Baxter Herlihy represent me in my divorce. The process was swift, simple, and painless. I truly appreciate the work that Alison for me.

There are three certain professions that the older you are, consumers will feel an artificial sense of comfort and confidence in that person’s ability. Those professions are: doctor, lawyer and commercial pilot. No one would want to have delicate brain surgery from recent medical school graduate, nor would they feel comfortable having their freedom fought for in court by a young public defender. Lastly, anyone who has ever flown commercial airlines, and has witnessed the twenty-something pilot towing his bag through the terminal would just about make anyone apprehensive about flying. My point is this; I spent over a month and a half researching for the best possible attorney to represent me in the most important event in my life, and all information pointed to Alison each and every time. I then realized that the only reason I was hesitant to retain her was that she was younger than her peers, despite her having achieved much more success in her career. I had effectively gotten caught up in the above mentioned preconceived notions, despite the data that proved otherwise. I had my initial consultation and any doubts that I may have had, effectively disappeared. Alison projected confidence, competence and a strong moral ethic. She kept me grounded and on-course despite the defense attorney’s best efforts to wear me down with repeated trial delays. After a year and a half of unnecessary delays, we finally had our day in court. Alison was nothing short of amazing to watch in court as she single-handedly proved her case over an established defense team. The judge awarded me everything I was seeking, and lauded Alison for being able to effectively argue such a large, complex case in only one full day session, and that she set the bar for other attorney’s to (hopefully) emulate in her court. In closing, remember you are trusting your life in the hands of whomever attorney you choose. So, do you want to put your life in the hands of a Specialist, or a General Practitioner? Alison is a Subject Matter Expert in her specialized field of Family Law, so why would anyone select an attorney who practices in multiple different areas of law?

Alison handled my child custody case. There are not enough words to explain this amazing attorney. She worked hard, kept up to date on everything that was happening, and was quick to address concerns or questions I had. She is not a pushover attorney like I had before. She is well informed and extremely professional. During the hardest battle of my life she was the only one who truly listened to me. She won my case and provided me a sense of relief. I could finally breathe again. Thank you Alison!

Alison was referred by another attorney to me. I first spoke to Alison a couple years ago, regarding a situation where an absent father of seven years was seeking visitation with my daughter. He was $25,000 in arrears with CSEA and had a new wife who constantly injected herself into the situation. Alison gave me the confidence I needed @ a very difficult time. This attorney is hands down 'all work'. She tackled this situation with caution and care, updated me, fought for my daughter, examined and submitted evidence, guided me, and in all honesty, kept me calm when I was a bundle of nerves. She is thorough and knowledgeable in her profession, and her ethic is followed accordingly. She knows the law, she has integrity and is well respected. Should the need for representation ever arise again for family/children issues, Alison will be the attorney who will represent me. My overall rating for Alison is perfectly satisfied.

Loved her! Kept me updated on everything, and was always quick to respond!

I don't know how you can trust an attorney if she can tell you upfront her hourly rate range. I was searching for a divorce attorney, I spoke to her assistant, the assistant told me that she doesnt' know the attorney's hourly rate, not even a range. The assistant told me that I will be charged $150 for consultation, then the attorney would determine how much she would charge me. I can't trust an attorney who doesn't want to tell a potential client how much charge would be.

charged half of the retainer to do nothing. No adoption. $22.50 per phone call to tell me nothing new. Fired me for being angry with their nonperformance. 3 months to try and adopt a child already in my home.
