Unprofessional Fraud

Alison committed to representing us on numerous lawsuits. She asked me to pay the filing fees. I paid the fees, then found out that she was including numerous others in the case, yet I was the only one she asked for payment from. We were given very inaccurate information and timelines. She refused to... provide us with the documents related to the lawsuits that we requested. When we contacted her, upset that we had no communication in months, she was very rude and unprofessional. She found the first opportunity to drop us from the lawsuits, and refused to refund our filing fees for cases she removed us from. We are a struggling family with nine children, and she abused and exploited us. Now we have lost precious time and money in the matters that have very strict timeframes for legal action!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Alison is a superstar among lawyers. If I had a criminal charge, sex offense charge, parole or probation revocation, or 1983 Police Abuse issue, I would call Alison. Alison enjoys the respect of the Colorado criminal defense bar and is a kind and caring lawyer."

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.
