Amazing, compassionate lawyer, Highly Recommend

I simply cannot say enough about how thankful that I am for hiring Allison as my attorney. I have never been involved with the law and therefore was clueless as to where to begin. I was charged with DV after defending myself that could have led to my nursing license being revoked. I emailed Allison ...and within minutes she called me back and we spoke at length, she answered all of my questions and I felt her confidence in defending my case. Allison believed in me and my situation and I knew I was in good hands. Allison is compassionate, patient, understanding, driven and was available 24/7 for me even when she was out of town. Allison led me every step of the way through the intimidation of the court process all the while listening to me, talking to me and supporting me during the sudden loss of my son. No question or fear asked over and over was stupid in her eyes which was very comforting. Her down to earth demeanor and never making you feel like you are wasting her time is a true gift. My case was dismissed before going to trial. The strength that I have gained over this whole unfortunate process is remarkable and I will forever thank Allison for standing by me and fighting for what she knew was right and giving me the courage to do the same for myself.

A wonderful and pleasant young Lady.

She is great!!!! I explained to her my situation in which I was falsely accused and she was so compassionate and understanding about how my case could harm my future as an employee in the healthcare field. She reassured me that she has represented people in the past that have been employed as healthc...are workers and that she would do her absolute best to make sure that my case turned out in my favor. From the beginning she thoroughly explained how the court process works as far as the trial, subpoenas for witnesses, the states evidence against me and the possible outcomes that could come about. From the beginning till the end she was completely upfront and honest about everything. She was always available to answer any questions I had and she always kept me updated on the progress of my case. I pray I never have to hire a criminal attorney again, but if for some reason I do I would definitely hire her again as well as refer anyone to her that needed a a great criminal defense attorney. In the end my case was dismissed and she even went the extra mile to file a motion to have the case sealed. She works very hard and takes her job very seriously I couldn't have asked for better representation from an attorney. Thanks again Attorney Allison!!!!

One of the greats you will ever meet.

To fill the shoes of her father I'm not sure if she has or not. I've never met the man. I can tell you the same passion inside him that ive read about, seems to be what drives Her. If your looking for help from a great attorney you need not look any further. It is a true privilege to of hired Mrs. La...wrence. I feel confident that the attention to detail, boldness, integrity, she has will put you on track and bring you victory. I've watched her as a trial lawyer on and off about a dozen times now in the last 8 years or so. That's why I hired her in my time of need. She cares. She makes a difference she definitely listens. She up holds a standard that people respect. She won't let you harm your self in court and trys to protect you from the wrongs of others as well. She's brilliant in the court room on trial and has a gift as a trial lawyer. She gets to the bottom of things in a way that few can. There's so much I can say for attorney Allision Lawrence you'll just have to hire her to see. She's a deciated, hard working gifted lawyer, at trial the courtroom becomes her stage her arena, mostly because she's right she's completed the work necessary to be right and it shows. I have many small rants why she's amazing. You'll have to see for your self. If your looking for the best of the best. Look no further you've found her.

Allison is the MVP in all court rooms

Allison is truly a spectacular lawyer! Ive used her more times than Id like to admit, both in Felony and Misdemeanor courts. She is the most caring lawyer Ive truly ever met. It was like she put herself in mine and my family's shoes. She is very respectful, smart, courageous, upfront, trustworthy, sy...mpathetic, caring, and always professional. Mix those all together and greatness is the result. I would recommend her to anyone. If your in a bind and need help, I would strongly suggest talking with her, you wont be disappointed!
