adoption that didn't happen

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.

Best Lawyer to go to if you need to get custody

After several court visits to be able to see my boys, even though I was paying Mortgage, utilities and full child support with no success and being told by my previous lawyer that it is not unusual to be paying so much as a physician; I saw Alison in court during my multiple court visits and I just h...ad the feeling that I should consider her as a lawyer. After researching her more I decided to get her counsel. I would say that was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. Immediately she got on the case, I was able to see my boys as scheduled on the court order. She was trying to cut my payments down so we planned to go back to court. However, due to my ex-wife erratic behavior, she advised me to seek for custody. I initially turned it down, since I was told by my previous lawyer that my chance of winning a custody battle was very slim. As my ex-wife behavior became more erratic during a few court visits, she advised me again to consider fighting for custody and I did. Now, with her help, I have full custody of my boys, house is sold, so no need to pay mortgage or utility bills. Getting Alison as my lawyer was a blessing and she fought for me till the very end, and every penny spent for her representation was an amount well spent. I am glad this is not something to do over, but if it was, I will take Alison as my lawyer again. Thank you so much Alison and Bre. I really do appreciate all your hardwork and patience.

Fantastic Lawer for Custody Case

Alison managed a difficult custody case, helping my wife and me get custody of our grandchild to ensure her safety and well-being. Alison is firm yet compassionate. She was thorough in preparing for the hearings, and made sure that I was prepared to testify. She has knowledge of the system and the pe...ople at the courthouse, and was able to navigate the process easily.

Represented me for my contested divorce

Alison did an amazing job with my contested divorce. I had no children and it should have been easy but the other side was difficult. She helped me get a fair judgement and helped settle my case. I’m very satisfied. She is extremely knowledgeable and is very straight forward and to the point. She get...s the job done. Highly recommend her.

Excellent attorney!

Alison was my attorney during a divorce and custody battle. My (now) ex-husband wanted everything.. Full custody of kids, house, property, etc. From the second I walked in the door, Alison made me feel at ease. Our divorce took over a year and Alison was always right on top of it, explaining what wou...ld happen next, helping to calm my nerves. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I highly recommend Alison!
