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.

Couldn't ask for a better lawyer to represent me

A friend of mine who lived in Austin couldn't help me with my Houston case because she felt she didn't understand the legal climate here in Houston that well, so she immediately went to an attorney bulletin board and someone recommended Allison. I decided I should visit her and was very pleased with ...our first meeting and hired her shortly after. Reviewing my evidence: She was very informative when reviewing the state's case against me and answered all my questions, gave me all sorts of different routes things could go and was very candid about what I did incorrectly, which is exactly what I wanted from an attorney. Also keep in mind I did ask her to not hold any punches back with critiquing my case. Court hearings: She showed up to every hearing, I once had a court case where at the last minute the attorneys partner showed up and no one told me this would happen, it left me feeling really uneasy. I never had to deal with anything like such. Case results: She definitely outlaid all my options, we decided on which ones we'd aim for first and we ended up getting the exact result that I wanted. Post court case: She has always answered my questions about stuff related to my case and continues to be very helpful.

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."
