An amazing attorney!

I received a letter through the mail about a ticket in a county I had never been in, so I was very worried and anxious. Once I contacted Allison she gave me the reassurance that everything would be taken care of. The next week Allison told me the ticket was dismissed!! Allison was a huge help. Compar...ed to other attorneys, Allison interacts with her clients with kindness and care. It also helps that Allison is a detail oriented attorney with a varying knowledge on the law. I recommend Allison for all your legal issues, you will not be disappointed!

Allison Secrest

Allison is my Angel among us....In Harris Co with no money for an Attorney, Allison was appointed mine. God was smiling upon me that day. Her diligence with my F3, dealing with my family and friends and NOTHING slipped past her. Her attention to my case could not have been more thorough. Mrs. Sec...rest is a five star attorney without doubt...One can feel her inner strength as she works a case and the ease she brings to her clients. Thank you Allison that I'm home..

Amazing Attorney

Allison Secrest is an amazing attorney, she is dedicated to her clients and families as well. She was able to help my husband's situation. She was very persistent. She never told my husband to give up, she was not taking anything less than what she felt was fair. She is very punctual, she kept us inf...ormed. She has a warm heart with a gentle spirit. I recommend her. She is honest and fair. Without her I dont know how my families christmas would be. I thank God for her.

Got a rec from a trusted lawyer friend and was it everything I'd hoped for

Allison was prompt, professional, and sympathetic, even though we did much of our work remotely. She kept me updated throughout the process, even on small developments and I was never uncertain about how things were going. Excellent experience, would highly recommend.

"A great former prosecutor who has turned into a fabulous defense attorney! She cares about each of her clients and does a great job for them. I endorse this lawyer."

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 31

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I served as a prosecutor under Allison Secrest when she was the Chief Prosecutor in County Criminal Court at Law Number Five in Harris County. She was, honestly, one of the finest prosecutors I had the pleasure of working with in the Harris County DA's Office. Now that she is in private practice, you would be hard pressed to find an criminal attorney who takes her cases more seriously. Allison is hard-working, competent, professional, and kind. She's a class act, all around. Most important, she's on the shortlist, if (God forbid) I was ever accused of a crime. I strongly recommend her."

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.
