Allison is a wonderful person and attorney! She puts her heart and soul into each case and works hard to get you the results you expect. She will fight for your rights and work hard to get justice! I would highly recommend her for your case!
I got a dui in a tough town. Usually an automatic 10 days in jail. Allison was able to have my 10 days spent in hotel class instead of jail (not the norm for this town). Plus got me driving privileges. She was empathetic, understanding and a great listener. Don’t want to leave out... reasonably priced fees. I highly recommend her for your legal issues
I can only imagine the fear that comes with being charged with a crime and knowing that you might lose your freedom. But, I try to. I try to put myself in my clients' shoes. With me as your attorney, you will never feel abandoned. I make it a point to truly listen to my clients' side of the story, their concerns, and their fears.Â
In every case I handle, the first thing I do is look for some way to get the charge dismissed or to end up with a not guilty verdict. If that's not possible, I try to resolve the case in whatever way is most important to my client. If my client's main concern is not doing jail time, that's what I aim for. If my client is mostly worried about a particular charge being on their record, I try to get the charge amended to one that they are ok with. Â
I strive to ensure that my clients are as comfortable as possible at every stage of this scary process. And, I work hard to get my clients the best possible result- no matter how strong the evidence against them may seem.Â

Best negotiating skill
I search a lawyer on google and avvo website to find best lawyer with good background experience for fight my case in the court. I called 5 lawyers and only one person, Mrs Allison Groth return my called. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for all the care and concern you have shown me, and for working tirelessly to ensure that the law worked in our favor. If it weren’t for your analytical skills and knowledge, the matter wouldn’t have been settled by now. Thanks once again for your legal advice, time, and efforts.
also, Thank you for always informing me of the best option to take in resolving my problems. I couldn’t believe when the prosecutor agreed that the case should be settled out of court. I really appreciate your negotiating skills and advice on the matter.

I was arrested for possession of a narcotic and driving under suspension. Allison was able to get the driving offense dropped and the possession charge reduced to a misdemeanor. I left court with only a fine.

Absolutely the best!!!!!
Allison took care of my situation which in fact was dire. I had an OVI along with what was originally a felony that I plead out to bring down to a misdemeanor 1 from 2013 that I didn’t show up for sentencing. On top of that I caught another charge in 2015 which I also never showed up for. I finally got my life straightened out and really can’t do anything more in my life without my license.She met with the prosecutor and the judge in Oregon which if you know is an absolute Terror! I ended up without jail time and inactive probation as I live out of state now. She is a great person that really cares and is very understanding. I also have a pretty bad record which the judge did look at I had 2 OVI’s from a while back and I have 2 felony convictions the last being in 2018. I would have and probably should have received an ample amount of jail time. I can say that no matter the situation Allison will get you the best sentence possible. She fights as if it’s herself that’s on line . Would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you so much Allison you are the best. By the way just got my license today and I was just in court 2days ago! Never expected to have my life back this fast! :)

Unbelievable person, not just a lawyer!!
I happened to be in the same courtroom as Alison today. I had a simple expungement hearing in front of a judge that didn’t go my way. As I’m walking out of the courtroom and down the hall. A woman approached me with her arm out holding her business card. She told me who she was and how she completely disagreed with the decision that just happened to me. She offered to speak to me regarding this after her other cases. After she returned we sat down and went over what happened with my charge. She did explains to just stay here in the courtroom, She’s going to look into the my file down stairs and returned again shortly. Also explaining to me what just happened to me and how this has been occurring to other people as well. So, I waited anxiously as what I was going to do with my next steps if this didn’t go my way. About 20 minutes go by and she returns saying my expungement was just granted after speaking to a judge regarding it on her own!! I wasn’t even in the courtroom and she took it upon herself to get involved. As you can imagine I was completed thrilled!! If it wasn’t for her being in the same courtroom as me, I wouldn’t have my expungement granted. She took her own time to help me with this knowing I needed it. I honestly believe that says a lot about her character as person and not just a lawyer! That’s someone I would want representing from day one if you have legal concerns in your life! I could tell she just wanted to do the right thing for someone that was looking for some guidance and in her eyes was treated unfairly. Well she fixed that completely and made everything right! I couldn’t thank her enough and I will be paying it forward!! I wish more people in our world were like this!! Excellent attorney!!

Great representation
So thankful to Allison for getting my case taken care of. I feel that she honestly did the best that she could, obviously everyone hopes for a dismissal but I guess I got the next best thing. She was great with returning my text messages, and putting my mind at ease. I was a first time offender in an OVI case which ended up getting broken down to wreckless op and the other charges were dismissed. If I ever need counsel again I would definitely ask her to represent me or for a recommendation.

I hired Allison to help me with a neighbor dispute. Allison was very easy to communicate with and professional. She answered all of my questions and would always get back to me in a timely manner. She explained the court process to me since I had never been involved in anything like this before. I Would definitely hire her again if needed.

Allison is extremely kind.
My charges were related to my mental issues. Allison listened and did not judge me or my actions. Allison explained the process and helped me to be calm. She has a good relationship with people at the courthouse and is respected. Allison’s fees are very fair. I have her number still.

Allison was great from start to finish, and willing to help beyond should something arise. She was extremely responsive when initially contacted and throughout the court process, making sure to go over all the details and what may and will happen concerning the charges. Definitely worth considering if you ever have a legal bind.

Completely comfortable
I was facing serious charges when I called Allison's law firm and she was compassionate and had an answer for all my questions. She took care of my case and she assured me and walked me through every step of my case. I kept her cell phone number and just recently contacted her for an immediate family member, she took care of felony charges with only two court dates. She has very reasonable rates and will never let you down.
