Excellent Attorney

Attorney Breneman recently represented me in my OVI case. I cannot emphasize enough what an impeccable job she did throughout my entire case. From the very beginning, Attorney Breneman was extremely organized, well-prepared and diligent. Prior to my first court appearance, Attorney Breneman completed... discovery, communicated with the prosecutor and prepared and filed a motion to suppress. At my first court appearance, Attorney Breneman negotiated an excellent plea agreement with the prosecutor. She subsequently advocated on my behalf for the court to accept said plea agreement. The court ultimately accepted the plea agreement. I am extremely pleased with the results. Throughout the entire process, Attorney Breneman exemplified extreme professionalism and organization. I felt extremely confident in her representation of me from the commencement to the conclusion of my case. I would highly recommend Attorney Breneman; she truly could not have done a better job representing me. I hope that I never find myself being charged with a crime in the future, but if I am, I would definitely retain Attorney Breneman to represent me.

Reliable, Trust Worthy, Kind and Caring

I hired Allison about two years ago, and have been working with her since. She is top notch. She is not only knowledgeable, but she is always there when you have even the smallest question. She never leaves you in the dark about what the next steps will be or what is going to happen next. She educate...s you from beginning to end of the situations. She is so very kind and cares for her clients. She works extremely hard for them. Their best interest is her #1 priority. She makes you feel at ease. I would recommend Ms. Breneman a thousand times over again.

Former bailiff

I worked for over seven years as a bailiff in the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court. In that time, I’ve seen hundreds of defense attorneys in action. Few, if any, have been as professional and capable as Allison. She works hard and gets the best results possible for her clients. She works well under... pressure and gets along with the most difficult judges and prosecutors. I have no intention of getting in legal trouble, but if I do, I would be pleased to have Allison represent me.

Helpful Reliable Personable

I hired attorney Breneman to represent me in a legal matter. I was able to consult with her by telephone to set up a face-to-face meeting that worked around my schedule. She listened to what I had to say and had a discussion with me about my concerns. She reviewed paperwork that I had and walked m...e through the legal process and told me what to expect. She responded to my calls/texts and was on time for my meetings and appointments. She put my mind at ease and produced a favorable outcome for me. I would use her as my attorney again and recommend her to others
