Mary Allyson Misevich

I am so glad I hired Allyson. My divorce case had been in limbo for quite some time. When I hired Allyson to continue my case, she helped me with my goal of wanting it to come to an end. My ex's attorney was rather cut throat, and didn't seem to care about ethics. I really appreciated that Allyso...n upheld morals (that I came to know we shared) and kept it clean and respectful, yet got the job done. It seems to me, from what I have learned during this experience, that many attorney's love to see ex spouses fighting over everything, I think they encourage it because it prolongs the process and they get more money from our cases. Allyson, did not do this. She continually worked toward a fair settlement. She is very knowledgeable with her many years of experience behind her, and is able to foresee possible issues. She keeps up on all the latest changes too, which was very helpful for a favorable outcome in my settlement. Allyson and Lee work well together keeping an eye on details. On top of being so professional, she is very pleasant to talk with. She made time to hear more about what I was going through and showed compassion, which goes a long way during these difficult days. I could see that it was not about the money, but that she truly cared. She made a promise to me at our start, and followed through with it, even though I'm guessing it wasn't easy. She is a woman of her word. I am very grateful to Allyson, and am convinced that my outcome would have been much different without her. Thank you Allyson and Lee!

I am shocked and appalled by the negative comments on this webpage about Allyson Misevich. I had to have a will updated with power of attorney for healthcare before a serious operation in September. Allyson was highly recommended with almost 30 years experience practicing law. It was a last minute th...ing that I had to do…and Allyson did it virtually “on demand” the day before my surgery. I cannot say enough positive things about her expertise in the law and her pleasant openness to me. Another point others have mentioned is their lack of getting a hold of her in a timely fashion...this is utter nonsense. She was always available to me…she gave me her personal number to text her questions which she answered promptly-in some cases in the middle of the night. I can only surmise that the negative comments are “sour grapes” from people who can never be satisfied. If you want your law issues handled right, do yourself a big favor and go with Allyson…you won’t be sorry.

Started out wonderful but quickly became a terrible choice. She frequently showed up for court hours late and very rushed, leaving many status updates with no changes. After a few months, she stopped returning calls. I attempted to contact her regarding a serious legal matter but could not get her on... the phone. After weeks of ignored calls I was forced to make a decision on my own and she subsequently dropped me as a client for going against her legal advice; legal advice she never gave me because she would not return my calls. Also, in the beginning she frequently gave me advice on my personal life on matters that had nothing to do with the divorce. Advice I never asked for on things that I didn't tell her about but that had been casually mentioned to her in passing by my ex. The final nail in the coffin was when I saw her smiling and waving and making chit-chat with my ex after dropping me as a client. I do not belive she is professional at all. While she may have knowledge of the divorce laws in Illinois, her ethics leave much to be desired.
