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.

Case Dismissed

I'm glad that I chose Allison to defend me against a really tough assault charge. Her prior tenure as a prosecuting attorney for the State of Texas gives her an obvious advantage when defending clients in criminal cases. If convicted, I could have spent a year in prison, paid a stiff penalty to the... court and I would have been obligated to pay restitution to the alleged victim. Allison's ability to drill down and grasp the important details of my case, to separate the wheat from the chaff, was impressive. Familiarity with the facts, tenacious mapping out and execution of the correct defense strategy, and methodical, patient dismantling of the prosecutions case are the reasons that alongside my case number it now says "dismissed". I really can't thank Allison enough for what she did.

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."
