Really good lawyer saved my son
I am sure that Mrs. Allison kept my son from having to stay at the jail. She visited him and talked to the D.A. and the judge and helped us get him out. I still say a blessing for her.

Excellent Attorney
Even though Dawn Allison does criminal law she agreed to help me with a real estate contact. She did an excellent job and was reasonable on her fee. I hope I never need a criminal attorney but if I did I was sure use dawn Allison.
Dawn Elizabeth Allison's Lawyer Endorsements
"Dawn is conscientious, hard-working, smart and pleasant to work with. As a former prosecutor in her home county of Wharton County, she is especially a go-to person. She is also very plugged-in in the neighboring county in which I used to be a prosecutor, Matagorda County, Texas. She has extraordinary "people sense," a powerful talent in cases related to family conflict or, really, any jury matter."
