Ten years ago, Allison began her legal career spending a few years as a judicial law clerk in Washington County. Part of the vision for LEGALnudge started while Allison was clerking. During her clerkship, she was frustrated by the lack of affordable options for family law litigants who often ended up representing themselves. Prior to joining with Jenna Westby to form LEGALnudge, Allison had a solo practice law firm focusing on family law matters. Allison is a graduate of William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, cum laude, and was in the top 15% of her class. She also attended Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa where she graduated cum laude with a B.A. in International Relations. Allison’s mission, and that of LEGALnudge, is to provide greater access to legal services. Allison enjoys exploring and experiencing all the Twin Cities has to offer as well as running, playing soccer and spending time with her family and friends.

Experienced and knowledgeable
I was served with papers for child custody and had to go searching for a lawyer. I ran into Ally's reviews on Avvo and thought that she sounded like someone I would want to represent me. After meeting with other lawyers and then her, I knew that I wanted to hire her immediately. She has a very obj...
"Allison Marshall and I represented respective opposing ex-spouses in a difficult case. Allison knew the facts and law of the case and was well prepared. She also appeared to have a good relationship with her client. She was able to be professional with the judge and myself, as opposing counsel, which was remarkable given the high intensity of conflict in the case. We were able to settle the case just minutes before a contested trial. I believe the resolution was in both our clients' best interests and more importantly in the best interests of their joint children. Only a small percentage of attorneys are talented enough to both be prepared to present their legal case but at the same time be open to tough but professional negoations to explore alternatives to a judge-imposed decision."
"I worked with Allison as an opposing attorney in a matter where I was reviewing a Prenuptial Agreement. In my experience, it can be difficult to strongly advocate for your own client in the context of a prenuptial agreement matter while also taking into consideration the feelings of the opposing party (fiance). Unlike an opposing party in a divorce matter, the parties in a prenuptial agreement matter are planning to be married and are just beginning their life together. They are in love, and they are trying not to offend the other party with the language in the prenuptial agreement, while still trying to ensure their own best interests in the process. I was very impressed with Allison's ability to strongly advocate for her own client and clearly express her client's wishes while also taking into consideration the concerns expressed by the opposing party. Allison was also very competent and knowledgeable regarding the law. I would strongly recommend Allison as a family law attorney."
