What her clients say
Alison was meticulous in her work. She listened carefully at all times and was extremely conscientious in every aspect of the work. She went above and beyond. She always got back to my emails quickly and was available to speak and reassure me when I needed it. I spoke to many lawyers before Alison, but she was just miles apart from the others in terms of her diligence and ability to grasp the case. She is a very sharp and perceptive lawyer. She was also straightforward, considerate and kind in all our interactions.
