Allison was extremely knowledgeable in every area she represented in my case, as well as being compassionate during very disturbing circumstances I was enduring. She helped me to stay focused on my child and the best outcomes long term. During highly emotional times, she was my calm in the storm. She was always reliable, and promptly responded if she was unavailable when I contacted her - even while she was on vacation with her family! I am so grateful for finding an attorney I can completely trust.
The divorce process is never easy or fun, but Allison made it as smooth as possible. The entire time, I felt confident I was in good hands and that the final result would be fair. She was no-nonsense and gave advice when needed but also allowed for my ex-husband and I to try to address some of the issues on our own.
Allison was a fantastic support during my divorce process. I spent almost a year speaking with her in advance of filing and she was there every step of the way through the process. Allison is tough in the courtroom but fair and she works in a holistic manner keeping your kids in mind as you seek resolution. I met many lawyers before choosing Allison and it was the best decision.
Allison has been an anchor for me during the course of my divorce. From the start, I felt that I was in good hands. She guided me through a most difficult time of my life and I was grateful to have her in my corner.
Allison represented me in a modification to my divorce decree to gain full custody of my daughter. This was an incredibly stressful time in our lives and Allison turned an unbearable situation into one that became the best parenting decision I have ever made. She is knowledgeable, caring, respectful, ethical, and always put my daughter’s needs first. I trusted her decisions and because of her, my daughter is happy and successful. I highly recommend her to anyone going through the family court system.
Allison helped reduce my anxiety during a time of great difficulty. She communicates calmly and is very matter of fact. She and her team are quick to respond to emails and phone calls. While the entire process of divorce is unpleasant, I was in good hands working with Allison and felt I had a strong advocate.
Allison was my divorce attorney and she was excellent! She was not only exceptionally versed in the law, she was always there to listen, protect me, and provide counsel when I needed it (like on weekends). She is easy to work with as evident not only in her relationship with me, but how well respected she is in the legal community in St. Louis. While divorce is never easy, Allison helped me reach a deal that protected my monetary assets, granted me freedom, and restored my peace of mind.
Allison was tremendously helpful in a matter between my ex-wife and I that required legal attention. She did a very good job and was always available to discuss the situation. She was superb in dealing with the other attorney, the Guardian ad Litem, and the court. The outcome was very much in my favor and I appreciate her counsel!
Allison is a lawyer with integrity, sound judgment, and excellent advice. She steered us out of a bad custody situation due to incompetent prior legal advice. She did not abandon us when money was tight and she continues to give honest advice about strategies and outcomes. Moreover, we have never once felt like she was doing anything in her own interest - it has always been what we needed and what is best for our child. Due to her legal and personal skills we are confident that we will get the best result possible for our child and family.
I was very impressed with Allison's candor and her responsiveness to all my questions and concerns throughout the divorce process. She and her assistant, Danielle, were well informed and provided excellent communication the whole time. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a divorce.
