Alison is an outstanding lawyer and a great family advocate

My husband and I hired Alison Zinn at a very difficult time in our lives. We needed immediate action and did not know what to do next. Alison outlined an effective plan or us and started execution immediately. Almost two years later we are on the other side of our crisis with all positive outcomes. I... hate to think of where we would be today if we hadn’t met Alison. I very highly recommend her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
