Posted by Rodney | May 24, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

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!!!

Posted by Heather | May 18, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

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!!

Review of Alyson M English (also listed as Alyson M Foster).

I retained Alyson English (now Alyson Foster) in 2007 when she was a new attorney to the Cantor and Simon Law Firm in Tempe, AZ. Alyson represented me in an on going and difficult child custody dispute with my ex-wife over our young son. My case had been in and out of family court on several prior ...occasions and I had used another attorney on one of those occasions. As my custody case became more complex and difficult I sought a change in counsel to better represent me in the matter and I retained Alyson. Alyson handled my custody matter with the utmost of concern for me and my son and was extremely instrumental in obtaining a ruling from the judge in court that was fair to all parties involved. Alyson did this while having to deal with my extremely difficult ex-wife who had decided to go without council and represent herself on this occasion. Since the original case in 2007 I have retained Alyson three more times (all for the same custody dispute) and she has always handled the situation(s) with an extremely high level of concern for me and my parental rights as a father. Two of the times I have retained her were emergency situations that necessitated extremely quick and detailed legal action be taken. Due to Alyson's quick and thorough representation I now have full custody of my son (May of 2010) and have retained this full custody through the court after legal challenges by my ex wife (December of 2010).

"I had the pleasure of working at the same firm with Alyson Foster for over 4 years. During that time, I was able to observe her in Court and interacting with her clients. Alyson is an extremely organized and talented attorney. In fact, I have recommended her to friends and potential clients in the past and would continue to do so. Not only is Alyson a great attorney, it is obvious that she truly cares about her client's well-being."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
