I trust no one else with my family

I have had a lawyer-client relationship with Allison for over a decade now. She has protect my family to her utmost ability and that is above and beyond any other attorney in the city. She took on a pretty complicated case of mine when we met and all I can say is she exceeded beyond expectations!

Words can’t describe what a bleeding she it!!!

Allison is the attorney for my daughter and as a mom she truly made her case less of a worry for myself and my husband. I have referred her to several friends of mine. I could not imagine what our lives could have been like if she wasn’t our attorney. She truly cares about her clients and makes the v...ery best case for them!

Best Family Attorney in Louisville

Allison has helped me through the hardest part of my life. She has not been just an attorney but a person that cares. She always asks how the kids and I are doing. She really cares about the people that she helps. Plus she is great in the courtroom. I tell everybody that if you need a family law atto...rney to call Allison.

Horrible

Where do I began. 1. Doesn't communicate effectively responds days or weeks later if all. 2. Prefers not to provide cellphone but emails clients and charges 30.00 per email. 3. Not on top of filing paper. 4. Is not transparent in billing clients. She basically stole 1600 dollars of my money and did ...nothing for my case. I was better off continuing my case pro se. Blamed me for mistakes in my case as oppose to "providing adequate council" Stated I hurt my own case, however instead of dropping my case, if she had reservations, she continued to bill me for service. Unbeknownst to me until I had to ask for my monthly invoice. Stated she would adjust charges since our contract makes no mention of communication charges however only made minor adjustments, and kept most of my retainer, after I fired her. And I work hard for my money. After being fired she kept my originals and I had to ask for them back. Just horrible man.

Would definitely recommend

Allison was very responsive and took the time to listen to my concerns. Her evaluations and proposals were always well thought out and helped me through my situation. I felt she really cared about what happened to my children and always put their best interests first. She has an ability to keep a ...level head and keep the conversations and reactions on point and on track.
