About
With over 8 years of experience in family law and my own personal experience with divorce and it’s effects on a family, I commit myself to helping others through the family law process.As a child of divorced parents and divorced grandparents, I have seen the gambit of family law issues. This personal experience led me to pursue a career in family law.While attending law school at California Western School of Law in San Diego, I worked with the National Family Justice Center, helping victims of domestic violence obtain restraining orders against their abuser. I then worked for a prominent San Diego family law firm where I learned all the ins and outs of the family law practice, helping clients through their case from beginning to endAfter passing the Bar Examination and being sworn in to the California Bar in 2013, I joined a prominent Ventura Family Law Office, sharpening and honing my family law skills. I now work tirelessly to help my clients through this difficult and emotional process, helping them achieve their best possible outcome.My goal is to help the client through the process by making it as uncomplicated as possible. I have seen first-hand how devastating this process can be; my focus is to help my clients make it through their case so they can move forward with their lives.

Allison is an honest, practical, and compassionate attorney. In all my dealings with her, I found her to be a breath of fresh air in a field of law that is unfortunately known to many as being filled with money-hungry selfish jerks. She is a trustworthy person, and I have and will continue to recommend her to those in need during what is often the most challenging time in their lives or prepare them for marriage with a pre-nuptial agreement.
Allison got me thru a case where I would have lost it all if something went wrong and she didn't know what she was doing. Well for being such an obscure type of case, she won it for me, and i will forever be grateful to her. She is very very smart. Donna R.
Allison is an invaluable life saver in a sea of sharks. During the painful process of dissolving my marriage, she was fair, honest, compassionate, kind, and no non-sense when it was necessary. She maintained professionalism at all times, but still expressed empathy and encouraged me when I needed it. I would highly recommend her. She is one of a kind!
Originally I met with Mr. Zahn of the Zahn Laww office that Ms. Novik is a part of at his Ventura office. He had a very good understanding of my situation even in a quick meeting and I was sure he and his firm would be able to represent me well. I then worked with Ms. Novik in the Encino office. In either office, you deal directly with the attorneys. This creates a very personal experience compared to primarily working through a paralegal. With paralegals, a quick question gets asked, your attorney gets consulted, and then you get a response in a day or three. This is a time consuming and expensive process. With Ms. Novik, I'm able to speak directly to her whenever she is available and I get immediate assistance and resolution. Ms. Novik has shown great professionalism and attention to the specific needs of my situation. She has been willing to closely review paperwork and spot inconsistencies that may be missed in a busier office and certainly by myself. Sure I know what I want in my case and she has been able to draw out a plan in the papers that I thought met my needs and the needs of the case perfectly. Ms. Novik is very willing to work within the requests I have and is willing to provide guidance beyond just "checking off boxes" to simply get through things. After all, I wouldn't need an attorney if I knew what to ask and how to make it happen. In short, Ms. Novik at the Zahn Law Office comes highly recommended.
Allison was very kind and patient and thorough with my child support case, and effective - I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. She put my mind at ease during a very stressful time in my life. I highly recommend her.
I am truly grateful to have Allison Novik represent my case. Although the case took longer expected (due to my demanding work schedule), Allison knew from the beginning of the direction the case was going. She had ability to work opposing counsel to reach a fair settlement and custodial time. The costs were very reasonable and there were no unexpected costs. I would definitely recommend Allison Novik. Under the circumstances, Allison provided a positive experience.
I retained Allison to prepare the the last set of forms for my dissolution, including a marital settlement agreement. She exceeded my expectations! I had dreaded retaining an attorney for fear they would run off with my case and I’d not hear from them again, leaving me with little control. Wow, Allison was the opposite. Her communication was prompt and straightforward, and she was very knowledgable about the arduous process of navigating a case through the Los Angeles Superior Court system. All of this served to put me at ease. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
I was referred to Allison by a friend of mine. I was unable to retain her as she doesn't practice in my county however that has never stopped her from helping me in my child custody dispute to the extent that she is able to. I have been both pro se and represented by attorneys over the last couple of years and sometimes things just weren't clear for me and many times Allison took the time to explain things to me in lay man's terms as well as share her invaluable perspective as a family law attorney. She is extremely knowledgeable, sees angles to things that others hadn't when presented with the same information and has been such an asset to unofficially have in my corner. She truly cares about others which is evident as is she didn't she wouldnt help a complete stranger (me) as much as she has with nothing to gain. That is such a rarity in our legal system, especially amongst family law attorneys. To find an attorney that is in it because they truly want to help people through one of life's most trying times is like finding a needle in a haystack: nearly impossible. If you are fortunate enough to be in the counties that she practices in, do not hesitate to retain her! I personally know how difficult it is to trust attorneys as I've been burned by a few and I can say that she's nothing like those guys, she is a diamond and I am so thankful we crossed paths!
Allison is an excellent attorney! She is hardworking, knowledgeable, supportive and very caring. She helped me to finalize a very long and stressful divorce. Towards the end, she went above and beyond and was able to get me a great result. I highly recommend her and would definitely hire her again when needed.
Allison is wonderful, through my whole case she was professional, patient and caring and genuine. When problems came up and I called for legal advice I was never made to feel as though I was asking stupid questions or being a bother. My battle was long and far more dramatic than I would have liked. I can’t imagine having gone through all of that without her.

Allison got me thru a case where I would have lost it all if something went wrong and she didn't know what she was doing. Well for being such an obscure type of case, she won it for me, and i will forever be grateful to her. She is very very smart. Donna R.
Allison is an invaluable life saver in a sea of sharks. During the painful process of dissolving my marriage, she was fair, honest, compassionate, kind, and no non-sense when it was necessary. She maintained professionalism at all times, but still expressed empathy and encouraged me when I needed it. I would highly recommend her. She is one of a kind!
Originally I met with Mr. Zahn of the Zahn Laww office that Ms. Novik is a part of at his Ventura office. He had a very good understanding of my situation even in a quick meeting and I was sure he and his firm would be able to represent me well. I then worked with Ms. Novik in the Encino office. In either office, you deal directly with the attorneys. This creates a very personal experience compared to primarily working through a paralegal. With paralegals, a quick question gets asked, your attorney gets consulted, and then you get a response in a day or three. This is a time consuming and expensive process. With Ms. Novik, I'm able to speak directly to her whenever she is available and I get immediate assistance and resolution. Ms. Novik has shown great professionalism and attention to the specific needs of my situation. She has been willing to closely review paperwork and spot inconsistencies that may be missed in a busier office and certainly by myself. Sure I know what I want in my case and she has been able to draw out a plan in the papers that I thought met my needs and the needs of the case perfectly. Ms. Novik is very willing to work within the requests I have and is willing to provide guidance beyond just "checking off boxes" to simply get through things. After all, I wouldn't need an attorney if I knew what to ask and how to make it happen. In short, Ms. Novik at the Zahn Law Office comes highly recommended.
Allison was very kind and patient and thorough with my child support case, and effective - I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. She put my mind at ease during a very stressful time in my life. I highly recommend her.
I am truly grateful to have Allison Novik represent my case. Although the case took longer expected (due to my demanding work schedule), Allison knew from the beginning of the direction the case was going. She had ability to work opposing counsel to reach a fair settlement and custodial time. The costs were very reasonable and there were no unexpected costs. I would definitely recommend Allison Novik. Under the circumstances, Allison provided a positive experience.
I retained Allison to prepare the the last set of forms for my dissolution, including a marital settlement agreement. She exceeded my expectations! I had dreaded retaining an attorney for fear they would run off with my case and I’d not hear from them again, leaving me with little control. Wow, Allison was the opposite. Her communication was prompt and straightforward, and she was very knowledgable about the arduous process of navigating a case through the Los Angeles Superior Court system. All of this served to put me at ease. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
I was referred to Allison by a friend of mine. I was unable to retain her as she doesn't practice in my county however that has never stopped her from helping me in my child custody dispute to the extent that she is able to. I have been both pro se and represented by attorneys over the last couple of years and sometimes things just weren't clear for me and many times Allison took the time to explain things to me in lay man's terms as well as share her invaluable perspective as a family law attorney. She is extremely knowledgeable, sees angles to things that others hadn't when presented with the same information and has been such an asset to unofficially have in my corner. She truly cares about others which is evident as is she didn't she wouldnt help a complete stranger (me) as much as she has with nothing to gain. That is such a rarity in our legal system, especially amongst family law attorneys. To find an attorney that is in it because they truly want to help people through one of life's most trying times is like finding a needle in a haystack: nearly impossible. If you are fortunate enough to be in the counties that she practices in, do not hesitate to retain her! I personally know how difficult it is to trust attorneys as I've been burned by a few and I can say that she's nothing like those guys, she is a diamond and I am so thankful we crossed paths!
Allison is an excellent attorney! She is hardworking, knowledgeable, supportive and very caring. She helped me to finalize a very long and stressful divorce. Towards the end, she went above and beyond and was able to get me a great result. I highly recommend her and would definitely hire her again when needed.
Allison is wonderful, through my whole case she was professional, patient and caring and genuine. When problems came up and I called for legal advice I was never made to feel as though I was asking stupid questions or being a bother. My battle was long and far more dramatic than I would have liked. I can’t imagine having gone through all of that without her.

Sure I know what I want in my case and she has been able to draw out a plan in the papers that I thought met my needs and the needs of the case perfectly. Ms. Novik is very willing to work within the requests I have and is willing to provide guidance beyond just "checking off boxes" to simply get through things. After all, I wouldn't need an attorney if I knew what to ask and how to make it happen. In short, Ms. Novik at the Zahn Law Office comes highly recommended.
Allison was very kind and patient and thorough with my child support case, and effective - I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. She put my mind at ease during a very stressful time in my life. I highly recommend her.
I am truly grateful to have Allison Novik represent my case. Although the case took longer expected (due to my demanding work schedule), Allison knew from the beginning of the direction the case was going. She had ability to work opposing counsel to reach a fair settlement and custodial time. The costs were very reasonable and there were no unexpected costs. I would definitely recommend Allison Novik. Under the circumstances, Allison provided a positive experience.
I retained Allison to prepare the the last set of forms for my dissolution, including a marital settlement agreement. She exceeded my expectations! I had dreaded retaining an attorney for fear they would run off with my case and I’d not hear from them again, leaving me with little control. Wow, Allison was the opposite. Her communication was prompt and straightforward, and she was very knowledgable about the arduous process of navigating a case through the Los Angeles Superior Court system. All of this served to put me at ease. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
I was referred to Allison by a friend of mine. I was unable to retain her as she doesn't practice in my county however that has never stopped her from helping me in my child custody dispute to the extent that she is able to. I have been both pro se and represented by attorneys over the last couple of years and sometimes things just weren't clear for me and many times Allison took the time to explain things to me in lay man's terms as well as share her invaluable perspective as a family law attorney. She is extremely knowledgeable, sees angles to things that others hadn't when presented with the same information and has been such an asset to unofficially have in my corner. She truly cares about others which is evident as is she didn't she wouldnt help a complete stranger (me) as much as she has with nothing to gain. That is such a rarity in our legal system, especially amongst family law attorneys. To find an attorney that is in it because they truly want to help people through one of life's most trying times is like finding a needle in a haystack: nearly impossible. If you are fortunate enough to be in the counties that she practices in, do not hesitate to retain her! I personally know how difficult it is to trust attorneys as I've been burned by a few and I can say that she's nothing like those guys, she is a diamond and I am so thankful we crossed paths!
Allison is an excellent attorney! She is hardworking, knowledgeable, supportive and very caring. She helped me to finalize a very long and stressful divorce. Towards the end, she went above and beyond and was able to get me a great result. I highly recommend her and would definitely hire her again when needed.
Allison is wonderful, through my whole case she was professional, patient and caring and genuine. When problems came up and I called for legal advice I was never made to feel as though I was asking stupid questions or being a bother. My battle was long and far more dramatic than I would have liked. I can’t imagine having gone through all of that without her.
Allison is an honest, practical, and compassionate attorney. In all my dealings with her, I found her to be a breath of fresh air in a field of law that is unfortunately known to many as being filled with money-hungry selfish jerks. She is a trustworthy person, and I have and will continue to recommend her to those in need during what is often the most challenging time in their lives or prepare them for marriage with a pre-nuptial agreement.
Allison got me thru a case where I would have lost it all if something went wrong and she didn't know what she was doing. Well for being such an obscure type of case, she won it for me, and i will forever be grateful to her. She is very very smart. Donna R.
Allison is an invaluable life saver in a sea of sharks. During the painful process of dissolving my marriage, she was fair, honest, compassionate, kind, and no non-sense when it was necessary. She maintained professionalism at all times, but still expressed empathy and encouraged me when I needed it. I would highly recommend her. She is one of a kind!
Originally I met with Mr. Zahn of the Zahn Laww office that Ms. Novik is a part of at his Ventura office. He had a very good understanding of my situation even in a quick meeting and I was sure he and his firm would be able to represent me well. I then worked with Ms. Novik in the Encino office. In either office, you deal directly with the attorneys. This creates a very personal experience compared to primarily working through a paralegal. With paralegals, a quick question gets asked, your attorney gets consulted, and then you get a response in a day or three. This is a time consuming and expensive process. With Ms. Novik, I'm able to speak directly to her whenever she is available and I get immediate assistance and resolution.

I was unable to retain her as she doesn't practice in my county however that has never stopped her from helping me in my child custody dispute to the extent that she is able to. I have been both pro se and represented by attorneys over the last couple of years and sometimes things just weren't clear for me and many times Allison took the time to explain things to me in lay man's terms as well as share her invaluable perspective as a family law attorney. She is extremely knowledgeable, sees angles to things that others hadn't when presented with the same information and has been such an asset to unofficially have in my corner. She truly cares about others which is evident as is she didn't she wouldnt help a complete stranger (me) as much as she has with nothing to gain. That is such a rarity in our legal system, especially amongst family law attorneys. To find an attorney that is in it because they truly want to help people through one of life's most trying times is like finding a needle in a haystack: nearly impossible. If you are fortunate enough to be in the counties that she practices in, do not hesitate to retain her! I personally know how difficult it is to trust attorneys as I've been burned by a few and I can say that she's nothing like those guys, she is a diamond and I am so thankful we crossed paths!
Allison is an excellent attorney! She is hardworking, knowledgeable, supportive and very caring. She helped me to finalize a very long and stressful divorce. Towards the end, she went above and beyond and was able to get me a great result. I highly recommend her and would definitely hire her again when needed.
Allison is wonderful, through my whole case she was professional, patient and caring and genuine. When problems came up and I called for legal advice I was never made to feel as though I was asking stupid questions or being a bother. My battle was long and far more dramatic than I would have liked. I can’t imagine having gone through all of that without her.
Allison is an honest, practical, and compassionate attorney. In all my dealings with her, I found her to be a breath of fresh air in a field of law that is unfortunately known to many as being filled with money-hungry selfish jerks. She is a trustworthy person, and I have and will continue to recommend her to those in need during what is often the most challenging time in their lives or prepare them for marriage with a pre-nuptial agreement.
Allison got me thru a case where I would have lost it all if something went wrong and she didn't know what she was doing. Well for being such an obscure type of case, she won it for me, and i will forever be grateful to her. She is very very smart. Donna R.
Allison is an invaluable life saver in a sea of sharks. During the painful process of dissolving my marriage, she was fair, honest, compassionate, kind, and no non-sense when it was necessary. She maintained professionalism at all times, but still expressed empathy and encouraged me when I needed it. I would highly recommend her. She is one of a kind!
Originally I met with Mr. Zahn of the Zahn Laww office that Ms. Novik is a part of at his Ventura office. He had a very good understanding of my situation even in a quick meeting and I was sure he and his firm would be able to represent me well. I then worked with Ms. Novik in the Encino office. In either office, you deal directly with the attorneys. This creates a very personal experience compared to primarily working through a paralegal. With paralegals, a quick question gets asked, your attorney gets consulted, and then you get a response in a day or three. This is a time consuming and expensive process. With Ms. Novik, I'm able to speak directly to her whenever she is available and I get immediate assistance and resolution. Ms. Novik has shown great professionalism and attention to the specific needs of my situation. She has been willing to closely review paperwork and spot inconsistencies that may be missed in a busier office and certainly by myself. Sure I know what I want in my case and she has been able to draw out a plan in the papers that I thought met my needs and the needs of the case perfectly. Ms. Novik is very willing to work within the requests I have and is willing to provide guidance beyond just "checking off boxes" to simply get through things. After all, I wouldn't need an attorney if I knew what to ask and how to make it happen. In short, Ms. Novik at the Zahn Law Office comes highly recommended.
Allison was very kind and patient and thorough with my child support case, and effective - I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. She put my mind at ease during a very stressful time in my life. I highly recommend her.
I am truly grateful to have Allison Novik represent my case. Although the case took longer expected (due to my demanding work schedule), Allison knew from the beginning of the direction the case was going. She had ability to work opposing counsel to reach a fair settlement and custodial time. The costs were very reasonable and there were no unexpected costs. I would definitely recommend Allison Novik. Under the circumstances, Allison provided a positive experience.
I retained Allison to prepare the the last set of forms for my dissolution, including a marital settlement agreement. She exceeded my expectations! I had dreaded retaining an attorney for fear they would run off with my case and I’d not hear from them again, leaving me with little control. Wow, Allison was the opposite. Her communication was prompt and straightforward, and she was very knowledgable about the arduous process of navigating a case through the Los Angeles Superior Court system. All of this served to put me at ease. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
