Truly a second mother

Alison Saros is like a second mom to me. She put in countless hours and helped me physically and mentally deal with the hardest legal, financial situation in my entire life. I was dealing with a fabricated situation at my university, and her educational law experiences have helped me understand and e...ndure the living-hell situation I was going through. Regardless of my lack of financial situation, that did not stop her from putting in countless hours of her effort towards me. Not only is she a phenomenal attorney, she's an overall a great person. She's smart, caring, and loving, which is the type of support I needed. Thank you Alison for everything!

A fantastic advocate for our son

From start to finish, it was clear that Ali held the best interest of our son and our family front and center. She was not only highly knowledgeable, proficient, and skilled in the provision of legal advice, she also acted as a caring and effective "therapist" in helping the family through a very ch...allenging time. Ali is a wonderful lawyer and a wonderful person!

Excellent professional Lawyer

She helped my husband who had a suspended license for 100 years. She did an exceptional job, it was a very tangled case our previous lawyer really mixed up everything she was great at figuring everything out she made her plan set her mind to it and accomplished what seemed nearly impossible to us. I ...am grateful I found Alison to represent us she's an outstanding lawyer without a doubt she proved nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it, I highly without any doubt recommend Alison to anyone looking to see results she is great at her job and communication with others like the D.A and judge she strives for success!

Knowledgable and Professional

We hired Alison to help us deal with a school situation with our child. We were overwhelmed and confused as to how to proceed. Alison was not only very communicative, she provided us with a breadth of knowledge about the law and education, which helped rectify our situation. She answered our calls i...n a timely manner and provided support and expertise. I highly recommend her!

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.
