Alyson was outstanding in representing me a a PFA accusation . Brutally honest and very detailed. Totally explains everything to you going into trial. Highly, highly recommend in my opinion. Consult with her first if you need an attorney well versed in Family Law.

Alyson is extremely ….intelligent, caring, strategic, responsive, effective, insightful, perspicacious, straightforward, perceptive, intuitive, and adaptive. I hired Alyson for my niece, who had an urgent and sticky child custody case. She was a godsend. If not for Alyson, I am convinced we would not have custody of the child today. We can't thank Alyson enough.

I could say enough positive things about her as lawyer. She took on my case (probably her worst nightmare) and rocked it. She’s a bulldog and a fighter and exactly what in needed going up against what i was. She put in numerous late hours, and poured so much time into the details of my case. She is genuinely passionate about what she does and does it effortlessly. When you walk into a court house and see how others respond to your lawyer, and how well respected they are, is a good feeling when your spending a lot of money with your future in someone’s hands. One of my favorite things about her, is that anytime we would meet her first question would be “how are things with you? Are you holding up ?” She never once hesitated to shoot me straight and I needed to be and probably saved me from a lot of mistakes. My divorce is now final, and she still checks up on my kids and i. I just ant say enough about her. She helped me get through the most difficult time of my life and a horrific custody battle. I am grateful to have had her by my side during a very difficult chapter in my life. I would reccomend her to anyone going through a divorce/custody battle. She’s truly a rockstar.

After a recommendation from a friend who was also an attorney said her presence before local judges was well respected, I chose to hire Alyson for my child custody case. My case was a nightmare but Alyson patiently and in a knowledgable manner got my family through it. Not only was my case out-of-state and extremely high-conflict, but Alyson was tireless and her negotiation skills saved me from bankruptcy when the other attorneys involved were incredibly difficult to deal with and the costs could have become out of control. Instead, her ability to be clever, concise and personable changed the game and got everyone to the table. In the end, I got the dream outcome of legal and physical custody of my child. Alyson is incredibly fierce and intelligent and will fight for you, but her ability to keep nasty situations from the other party from escalating was something that became of the utmost value to my family. I would not hesitate to recommend Alyson in any case regarding child custody or divorce - she truly saved my family.

This lawyer contacted the opposing party completely blowing my entire default case. She had no right and no business doing this when the person was perfectly served by Process Server her out of the way communication with the opposing party along with the Horrible Judge Nakita blokton kept me and my daughter from getting child support we were due for over 17 years yes her one act of stupidity cost me an entire case worth over $326,000. I would never recommend her she is a Golddigger and does not care about her client, she even allowed the judge to berate my teenage daughter in the coortroom and shut me up when I tried to intervene it was horrible and abusive to my daughter, Alyson Hood did nothing. Furthermore after having me sign the Covid documents to sit next to her she not only did not allow me into the hearing 30 minutes after it started but had me sit way in the back where I could not hear a thing. Every bit of this was a travesty every bit of this was disgusting and terrible treatment to her client she blew it the bar will hear of this. She even told me verbatim that she pads her fees. Do not go down the same rabbit hole and indoor the pain I did I am begging you!
