An Easy Five Stars

I seldom do reviews but this was a must. This attorney is beyond comparison! Having been married nearly twenty one years, I was not at all familiar with divorce. It was devastating when my then husband served me with a divorce petition without even mentioning that he was unhappy. Unemployed and i...n financial distress, weakened by poor health and profoundly saddened by my ex husbands sudden decision to end our marriage, Allison (she makes you comfortable being on a first name basis with her) came to my aid. Allison's strong ability to keep me focused on what was important rather than emotional got me through this most desperate time of my life. Her attention to detail made me keenly aware of what a divorcing partner will attempt to avoid a spousal support order. It would have been very easy to just walk away from it all and not deal with the legal aspects of this divorce. Allison made me clearly understand the reality of what would happen to me financially if I did not come to terms with what I was facing. Her knowledge of family law is amazing in that she always knew the answer for the many questions I had. I am pleased with the outcome of this divorce and know in my heart that had it not been for Allison, I would have not fared so well. Allison F. Zieman is a professional and capable attorney and It is with pride that I would recommend her legal services.

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.
