Posted by Jessica | May 25, 2011 | Child Custody

When I retained Alison's representation, I knew I could finally breathe again!

Alison VanDerVolgen represented me in my recent marriage dissolution and child custody case. Clement Law Center was my 3rd attempt at finding a legal team that I felt could and would represent me in a way truly looked out for the best interest of myself and my daughter. From the moment I began talkin...g with the team at Clement Law, I knew that if they took my case, I would be well represented. Everyone I spoke to was professional and friendly, as well as very upfront about the issues in the case, and how costs would be incurred. I was very impressed that there was actually considerations taken by the whole team to decide if they felt this was a case they felt they could give due diligence to, amidst their current case load (I came to them on very short notice). Upon retaining their services, I finally was at ease that I had an attorney who would actually work for the things I felt most important in this case and I have been completely satisfied with their services. Alison may not have decades of experience yet, but she more than makes up for that with her work ethic, professionalism, diligence, and passion for excellence. I absolutely recommend her legal representation! Alison was able to arrange a settlement from my ex that was substantially above what my previous lawyer had mentioned “asking” for, and more importantly, she made sure that my daughter’s best interests were considered during every step of the custody and parenting plan decision making. I felt that Alison approached my case with realism and never wasted my time or money on pipe dreams, while still working diligently to ensure that I came out of my marriage duly compensated. Thank you Alison and Clement Law Center for your professionalism, amazing ethics, candor and thoughtfulness. This will be my first call if ever I need an attorney again.

"Alison is one of the most organized and meticulous lawyers I have ever known. She is an amazing attorney to have on your side especially in family law when a case can be made or lost solely on the forms and deadlines. She is incredibly on top of things and knows family law and the court rules/requirements backwards and forwards. I would want her on my side in a family law matter."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I strongly endorse this lawyer. I have known Alison since law school where we worked together in our school's family law clinic. Later in practice we worked together on family law matters in King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties. Alison is a strong advocate for her clients and knows more about the ins and outs of family law than any other attorney I know. Her attention to detail, compasion, and high level of competency and integrity set her apart. If I were referring a client to a family law attorney Alison would be my first recommendation."
