I highly recommend working with Allison!

Working with Allison Gerli and our whole collaborative divorce team was a wonderful experience. Allison helped me stay grounded during what can be a very turbulent process, and she was so supportive and empathetic. She was also very responsive with her communication and always answered my questions, ...no matter how strange. And she helped me negotiate a great settlement! I highly recommend working with Allison!

Very professional

Allison worked on my case (child custody) during the COVID-19 crisis, where she worked from home. I mention this because not once did I ever feel she was neglecting my case. She remained professional, responded to emails in a timely manner, thoroughly answered any question I asked, and still ensured ...documents were filed with the courts. This really allowed my mind to be at ease throughout the process, especially seeing her dedication to my case. What I appreciate most is she always considered the betterment of my child when it came to making a recommendation or decision. Ultimately, my case was settled, and I owe that to Allison.

Compassionate, knowledgable, results driven lawyer made for a smooth process

Allison was phenomenal throughout my entire process. She listened to my situation and concerns without prejudice, and worked towards a conclusion that would be agreeable and beneficial to all parties. Payment was very reasonable, and when the retainer was exhausted, the firm worked with me to set up ...a payment plan that covered overages. I have nothing but positive feedback on my experience.

Adoption

Working with attorney Allison Gerli and Paralegal Katie Vatterott on my sons step parent adoption was so amazing. I started the process very early and they were both willing to hear me out and answer all questions so I had an understanding of how the process worked and when to officially get the proc...ess started. They continued to work with my husband and I through out the entire process and responded to all emails in a timely manor. I never felt like I was being ignored or wasn't sure what happened next . I highly recommend The Center for Family Law.

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.
