Valued and Respected

I had the unfortunate experience of going through a contested divorce! As such, I needed a good attorney to represent me. Alyson was referred to me by another Attorney I had been represented by in an accident case and I could not have hired a better Divorce Attorney! Alyson worked closely with me t...hrough Oral Arguments, Evidentiary Hearing, and assisted in my negotiation of my Divorce Settlement. Alyson was empathetic to my situation and provided me with clear and concise information to assist in getting on with my life! Divorce is hard and I do not wish it upon anyone, however, Alyson is without a doubt who I would recommend should you need expert legal representation with Divorce proceedings. Thank You Alyson!!!

Caring and Diligent

I hired Mrs. Foster to represent me in my divorce and child custody case. My case was complex, the other party refused to try to come to any agreements prior to going to court. I worked with Mrs. Foster for over three years on this case. She made sure that my children were safe and didn't give an inc...h when it came to that. Her and her paralegal kept me informed of everything that was going on. She also assisted me with all necessary follow up and enforcement hearings. She was very personable and I felt like she really cared about my family and the outcome of our case. She walked me through the whole process and was very upfront about everything. If it weren't for her hard work and compassion, things could have turned out very different for my children. I am very glad I decided to hire her.

Great Family Attorney

Alyson and her team are amazing. She is always professional, timely, & extremely knowledgeable. She will be very upfront and honest about your case and how the law applies to your circumstance. She's been my attorney for the last 3 years. We have been very fortunate and satisfied with all the outcome...s after multiple hearings.

Experienced, Knowledgeable & Understanding

Alyson is amazing!! She's helpful, knowledgeable and she understands the needs of her clients. I originally hired Alyson back in 2012 for a child custody case (including filing an order or protection & order for child support). I ended up settling & coming to an agreement with my child's fathe...r (my choice) which ultimately backfired, resulting in me hiring Alyson again in 2016. The 2nd time around I wasn't going to settle, I knew what was best for my child & I wasn't going to stop until I had sole custody. She was extremely supportive. It's comforting knowing that your attorney also has your child's best interest at heart. She's detailed, organized and always one step ahead. It's been a long road and I'm so thankful I had a great attorney to represent me. We won the case & I couldn't have gotten through it without her. I highly recommend her & have referred quite a few friends and family members to her because I know they'll be in good hands! Thanks for everything Alyson!!

Highly Recommended

I hired Alyson Foster to draft my post-nup agreement; she also represented me through my divorce. I appreciated that Alyson was straight forward and realistic, but also had a sense of humor. She didn't always tell me what I wanted to hear, but I still felt she had my best interest in mind. Alyson str...ongly advocated for me throughout the divorce process. She's responsive and always returned my phone calls and emails in a timely manner. She also recommended options for avoiding unnecessary legal fees, when appropriate. Her paralegal, Nikki, was also a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her services.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Mrs. Foster for years. At one time we worked at the same law firm so I know her capabilities first hand. She is a top notch family law attorney. She is compassionate about what she does and truly cares for her client’s well-being. She can be reasonable if the other side is reasonable, but if the other side is not reasonable you could not have a better advocate on your side. I would highly recommend Mrs. Foster if you are ever in need of an attorney for any family law matter."
