Alison and her assistant Tina are AMAZING

I've been with Alison twice in the past 10 years. Once for my divorce, child support and custody of my son, and then a couple years ago for mediation. She's fair, she listens to her clients, and sticks by her words with what she's doing in your case. She will fight for what her client wants. I am tru...ly grateful for both her and Tina. There's no doubt in my mind that I would seek her assistance again in the future.

Experienced, professional and impeccable integrity

I work in the legal profession as a consultant to litigators and work with lawyers every day in numerous personal and professional matters related to my employment. Ali was recommended to me by a friend whose ex-wife had been represented by Ali in his divorce. When someone you trust recommends the la...wyer their ex-wife used against them, that is a strong endorsement of competence. As things turned out, Ali was better than advertised! Ali represented me in my divorce and I found her to be organized, thoughtful and competent. She was direct, honest and came up with pragmatic solutions to the challenges of my divorce. She was very efficient in her time and my outcome was better than I ever would have anticipated based on interviews I had with other potential attorneys. My results were outstanding, quick and relatively drama free. I came out of the divorce with the assets I needed and a spousal support payment that was multiples less than I expected. My ex never worked a full day in our over two decades of marriage despite having a graduate degree and ample time to pursue her interests. Ali's connectivity to the local legal community including the judge that assisted our mediation gave me comfort that her experience combined with her professional approach would ensure that a life changing divorce would not ruin the years of hard work I put in to build my career. When the dust settled I came out with short-term spousal support payments of less than 10% of my take home pay and retained a significant portion of my hard earned retirement assets. Here is the great part- my ex-wife paid more than triple my fees to her attorneys who were from a large firm. They utilized numerous tactics to extend, delay and find ways to charge her more fees. It was blatant and bordered on corrupt and certainly unprofessional. They went down rabbit holes and made requests they knew to be bogus just to be able to charge her more fees. The entire time Ali represented me well and refused to give in or play their games. I appreciate everything Ali and Tina did for me during one of the most difficult times in my life. I am thankful to have come out the other side of this better, happier and financially stable. I STRONGLY recommend Ali to anyone who wants a tough, no-nonsense attorney to protect them.

Great initial consult

I have a CS case in WA state (Clark County) that is eligible for moving down to OR. Tina, Alison's assistant, was able to secure a phone consultation with Alison within a very reasonable about of time, and was very friendly as well. After carefully listening and offering well thought out response to... my questions, Alison suggested that I consult with an attorney licensed in OR since the law and considerations are slightly different than WA state. She gave high kudos to the attorney I asked about who has expertise in both states, which was quite reassuring. If I need a CS attorney only for the state of WA, I will definitely return to Alison.

Amazing

Alison Greene and her assistant Tina were amazing. I was totally lost before I hired Alison and her team. They got me prepared for what was about to come, and I no longer felt worried about losing my kids like my ex threatened to do. I was comfortable giving them everything I had with confidence. Wit...hout them I don't know what I would have done. I went through hell and back before reaching out to Alison. I will 100% be hiring her again if I ever have to go back to court. Thank you so much for the help you have given me.

She is a BAD ASS!!

I used Alison as my attorney for my divorce. She doesnt waste your time or sugar coat anything. My ex was absolutely crazy and she gave me confidence to stand up for myself. I wasn't afraid because I had her on my side. She is quick witted and sharpe. I felt very comfortable with her, I wasn't wo...rried about exposing any detail of my volatile relationship with my Ex. I would not use anyone but her if I ever needed another attorney.
