BEWARE

With this attorney you will need another attorney to supervise her work. I used Alison for a few years of a very nasty custody battle. 1rst-I will say she is very weak in the hearing arena. The couple of times we actually had a hearing she just got controlled and dominated by other counsel. If you... seek “aggressive” KEEP SHOPPING 2nd- have another attorney review anything you sign with her. She advised me to sign an agreement that left me open and vulnerable to be targeted for additional money. Because of Alison giving me poor advice and signing an unprotected document, I had to repay $16,000 AGAIN. Yes I had to REPAY the same money I had already paid. This didn’t come until after a couple years had passed and Alison was no longer my attorney. When I asked her to correct it and fight for what she had me sign and get my money back, she laughed and said “c’mon, you expect me to do that for free?” Besides the rudeness and greed that action displayed of her character, she did nothing. I paid the money and still at a loss from her representation. I originally made a complaint only to be contacted by Alison with more attitude and guilt so I was nice and removed the previous review. She has so much going on she couldn’t and didn’t give me proper representation and caused more harm than good. Final thought, GREED, very good at making you think she cares yet it’s only about the money (don’t buy the smooth talk) NOT AGGRESSIVE, will NOT stand up and fight in a hearing setting. Gets handled by any opposition. My ex wife had 4 different attorneys during our years of battle and each of them OWNED Alison. Literally just called the shots and she always weakly submitted at mine and my children’s expense. NO ACCOUNTABILITY, when confronted its constant denial and no admission of wrong doing or an attempt or offer at helping repair her mistake(s). Hard to prove an attorney wrong as a civilian so our only strength is to share our experiences in hopes of Saving the next family.

We take each client's needs and opinions very seriously at our firm. It is regrettable that you have chosen to share such an inaccurate account of what actually occurred. Please know that if there were any errors on my behalf that should have been corrected, they would have corrected, without charge, years ago, but that is not the case. We also take the attorney-client privilege very seriously, so in order to protect the integrity of that relationship, I will share nothing further in a public format.

Alison Porterfield, professional and compassionate!

Alsion Porterfield was incredibly professional as well as compassionate about my case. She was firm, and stood up for what was right. I felt confident having her on my side. She got me my attorney fees back, as well as a custody agreement that was truely in my sons best interest. I will use her in th...e future if I ever need another attorney, and I will recommend her to friends and family.

Divorce

Alison is amazing. She is always available and is very thourough in explaining all the processes and paperwork to make sure nothing is missed. She worked with me all the way through the process and even assisted in additional trips to court due to custody issues. I would highly recommend her for a...ny family needs.

On top of it

Alison is always on top of it. She always has answers to my questions, and sets realistic expectations for whatever is coming our way. She is understanding and reassuring and always in my corner. I would highly recommend her for anyone needing a family courts attorney.

Our Journey

    I must start off by saying, I can never repay Alison for what she has done for my family. When we first consulted with Alison ,in 2012, we were at a complete loss. Very confused by the orders that the judge had set, emotionally destroyed and so much more. She has been with my case ever since and ...has never given anything less than 1000%. Alison told me in the beginning, " Yes this might be a little difficult and possibly long but trust me and I'll get it done." She didn't let me nor my family down...Not once! We had many obstacles over the years, which I was extremely nervous about but was shortly proven to each time that she knew exactly what to do and how to go about it for our best intrest.     Through the years her office and team were very thorough on cost and always sent monthly statements on case fees. Any questions we had were always answered immediately or with very short follow up by Alison's team or herself if not busy. She and her staff understand that everone they serve are going through very hard times and things get emotional a lot. They never told me I could not call or email or even acted as if I was being a pest about my case.     Our case has finally came to an end and YES it has WON in our favor! I can honestly say we could have never done this without Alison nor her team. Im still in shock that our dreams have finally come true and she made this happen for us.... She did!      To anyone seeking representation, I highly recommend Alison. God lead us to her ,without us speaking to anyone else, and knew that she was the one for our family needs. You will be overly satisfied with your decision to allow her to help you.
