I endorse this lawyer. It's this simple. If my life and or freedom were in jeopardy, there is no other attorney that I know of personally or by reputation that I would consider defending me. Under the definition of "Tenacious" in Webster's...there is a picture of Alison.

I endorse this lawyer. Working with Alison is like working with the Energizer Bunny of justice. Alison is compassionate and unyielding in her defense of others. It's not, she will do whatever it takes; it's, she does whatever it takes to provide the best defense possible. Every lawyer would benefit greatly in their professional lives from spending even one day with Alison but, it's those she is fighting for, those in need of help, they are the batteries that drive her.
