Best Tri-City Attorney

Allison King at Chvatal King Law did fabulous job on my complicated divorce case lasting over 2 years. For one thing, we "won" every time we were in court. We eventually negotiated the exact settlement that I went into this wanting. I learned quickly to have total trust in Allison. She was not th...e least intimidated by any other attorney or situation and she was in command of the facts and the details of my case at all times. She gave excellent advice about getting financial experts on board early. She also advised that I come in periodically to sit down with her and review the case. This proved valuable to being well prepared and in developing a good working relationship with Allison and her staff. It's the nature of the game that the past 2 years were not always a pleasure. I can say that Allison King and her staff came through with flying colors. I truly appreciate the excellent service at Chvatal King Law and will be forever grateful for their care during that difficult time.

Not a father-friendly lawyer for Divorce/Custody cases.

Ms. King represented me during my divorce and was the primary attorney responsible for the Divorce Decree, Parenting Plan, and Financial/Asset Allocation with the action. It is my opinion that Ms. King was completely unprepared to represent a father in a divorce case. She was unsympathetic, lax i...n her motions, and disengaged from me as her client. Her negotiations left me with 75% liability for future expenses associated with the children, less than 50% of my tangible and financial assets, and barely 20% of time with my children (even though my work schedule was supremely flexible). At such a critical point in my life, where I was looking for the professionalism and knowledge of my legal counsel to provide an appropriate defense, I found the engagement and experience to be inadequate. Since switching firms, I have been able to modify custody to 50/50 shared parenting and joint custody; thereby modifying my financial liability and the amount of time I spend with my kids.

I am very sorry that this person felt that way. However, without a name or any other identifying information, and having never received this complaint directly to my office, I am unable to confirm whether or not this individual was actually a former client of mine. The facts as relayed above do not match the facts of any of my past cases. It is possible that the reviewing party is a former opposing party or perhaps a client that I parted ways with under different circumstances. Regardless, I hope that this individual was able to find peace after navigating the difficult road of divorce and child custody.

A Superb Attorney Who Fights for Fathers and Gets a Positive Outcome

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY!!! Words cannot express how grateful and fortunate I feel to have had Allison as my attorney! Her reputation as one of the top divorce lawyers in the Tri Cities is well deserved! I have gained custody of my children in a state that traditionally favors women because of her legal ex...pertise, tenacity, and compassion. Even though I have had my share of problems and made my share of mistakes, Allison listened to me and worked relentlessly for me during my long and grueling divorce. In addition to helping me gain full custody of my children, she also helped reduce my alimony payments, protected me from my ex-wife’s accusations and legal attacks, and kept me on the right track outside of court. Her legal advice is flawless! I highly recommend her for any legal services concerning family, divorce, or estate planning matters.
