Always Looking Out For You

I utilized Allison's services when I was separating from my wife. She not only provided valuable information to help protect myself and my interest during that time but went well above and beyond what was required. She would meet with me when I needed morning, lunch or evening, promptly provided an...y documents and services that were required and made sure I fully understood what was taking place. Allison's knowledge of law is vast and it was demonstrated during every interaction we had. She made sure every moment I was being protected and her recommendations on handling issues were top notch. I would recommend Allison to anyone looking for representation for business or personal matters, you will not be disappointed.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
