This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

You don't want your future in the hands of this attorney.

My friend has been incarcerated since June and it is now a few 3 days away from November and she has not been to meet him. I called and left a message ask when I could expect a call back and was told she returns calls to non clients on Thursday and if she gets to me I'll get a call if not maybe the ...following Thursday. I explained that's not an acceptable answer because he has had several court dates which she reset. I was then called back and told he had court the following day and he would be pulled out and that I could go as well and speak to her in person. The next day he was pulled out I was there but NO ATTORNEY. A COMPLETE WAIST OF TIME. I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING PRANKED. I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK. THIS MANS FUTURE IS IN HER HANDS AND THAT NOT ONLY SCARY BUT SAD.

Saved my skin

Working with Alison was great from start to finish. She was always ready to answer any and all of my questions, and she had a way of explaining the legal world in in a way that eased my doubts and worries. She worked very hard on my case and ultimately made the difference for me going forward and I'...d recommend her and her expertise to anyone I know.

Alison is experienced, kind and helpful

I met Alison through my cousin. She took my case for free as a favor to him. I could not believe it! She was experienced, kind and very helpful and would not take any money from me once my case was dismissed. I truly owe my life to her and don't know what I would have done without her help!

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.
