We were hoping to obtain guardianship of our granddaughter whose home life was pretty darned abusive. Though we knew that selecting a "big city lawyer" to represent out-of-staters in a rural county setting might not play well at all with the courts, there can be no doubt that we made the right decis...ion when we went with Allyson Dow. Allyson's apparent youth took us by surprise. But don't let the youthful face and voice fool you. This is an attorney who knows her stuff. We believe we were right on track to succeed in bringing our granddaughter home to live with us. Every time we asked for something that was reasonable, Allyson went full steam ahead to fight for us on that issue. When the parents would not abide by the court ordered visitation and the guardian ad litem's recommendations, Allyson did not hold back. She fought and argued and threatened the other attorneys and their clients until they responded in accordance with the recommendations given by the child's counselor and the GAL. We were sorely disappointed when we came to the realization that our intervention was causing our granddaughter even more trauma than she'd already experienced and we felt that the best option for her sake was to withdraw from the case. Against the instincts of every attorney out there, Allyson listened to our reasoning and did not pressure us to continue the case which would have stressed our granddaughter beyond her capability to handle the conflict. Everyone involved (counselor, attorney, daughter) was very disappointed, but we all knew it was the right thing to do for our granddaughter's emotional and mental health. We have nothing but the utmost respect and confidence in Allyson and anyone who selects her as their attorney must consider themselves fortunate indeed to have such a capable, confident, able litigator on their side.

Allyson I appreciate you so much my life was paused because no one wanted to take the risk and help me and the ones who did, did not do it correctly, thank you so much!!!!! I wanted to scream when crystal called me to inform me my case was finalized . THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU this means so much ...to me you took weight of my shoulders and thanks to you I will be able to move forward with my moms information. YOU DID IT!!!! THANK YOU ALLYSON!!!!! I would greatly recommend you, you are quick efficient and keep customers updated and send copies of everything you are working on so we can be on the same page. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I was put in a very hard situation and forced to hire an attorney to keep my children in my care, their father filed multiple cases against me with no real backing other than anger. Through out the two year process I was blessed to have someone on my side who cared, who fought not for me but for the ...very best interests of my children!! Anytime i had an issue i was never made to feel silly for reaching out for help on how to handle him nor was i made to feel bad for being such a needy client. In the end they were able to help me be granted sole care of my children. Should i ever need legal help of any kind i have no question in my mind where i will turn!!!!
