Allysyn Lesley Overton

My ex and I agreed to 50/50. My daughter Called me every night she was at her dads crying cause he’s meaner than AA snake. He’s also very connected because of his family. I thought for sure his connections would mean that I wouldn’t be believed in court. Allyson put my mind at ease by her thorough e...xplanation of the law and we filed to have my daughter be able to choose who she lived with. My ex hired a large firm known for being aggressive. They filed motions claiming technicalities and served ally with discovery in an attempt to bury her with paperwork. It backfired because she used it as an opportunity to collect so much evidence they were practically begging us to settle. Not only did she get me sole custody with supervised visits for him, she made my ex pay her attorneys fees! I didn’t even know that could be done! I will always be grateful for Allyson!

My husband and I hired Allysyn to draft our pre-marital agreement. She had previously represented my husband when he divorced his first wife. Allysyn really went to bat for him during the divorce and fought like a pit bull to get him a fair settlement. So he was glad to hire her again a few years lat...er when we got married. She drafted a great agreement that protected us both. She knows the law. But more importantly she knows how to talk to people having emotionally challenging conversations. It's not fun to talk about what will happen if your marriage doesn't work out. But it is a necessary conversation. She guided us through the conversation so well. In my opinion that is the sign of a great attorney. There are plenty of lawyers out there that know the legal aspects of a pre-nup but not all of them have great interpersonal skills to help a couple through the difficult conversations. Allysyn told me to have my own attorney review the pre-martial agreement to make sure my interests were protected. The attorney I hired to review it found no errors and had no suggestions for any changes. She did such a thorough job! After we were married we ended up taking my husband's ex wife back to court to reduce the spousal support he pays to her. The pre-marital agreement that Allysyn wrote was critical to helping us win that case. She's a smart attorney, she thinks ahead.

I hired Ms. Overton to review and draft changes to a marital agreement. I found her to be pleasant, knowledgable, responsive and easy to work with. She understood the issues and concerns specific to my situation and was proactive in thinking of ways to ensure that our intentions would be best expre...ssed in the agreement and helped eliminate a number of possible loopholes. Drafting this sort of agreement is a sensitive matter — you are creating a document that both parties hope and intend never to need to enforce, yet both parties wish it to be airtight and enforceable should that need unfortunately arise. I believe Allysyn did a good job and I would absolutely use her again.
