LENDOR GUEST - Key Persons
With more than 20 years of legal experience practicing exclusively in family law, Allison has distinguished herself as an excellent family lawyer and she is ready to put her experience to work for you.
Having handled over a thousand family law files throughout her career, Allison has the know-how to assist you. No matter how complex your case, rest assured that Allison will have dealt with something similar in the past.
Despite a very active litigation practice, Allison only recommends to her clients that they go to court when she believes it is absolutely necessary. Allison knows when your case requires an out-of-court solution and can assist you as your lawyer in negotiating a separation agreement or attending mediation.
As an effective court advocate, what sets Allison apart is her strategic insight into the role that the Office of the Children's Lawyer might play in your case since she maintains an active practice representing children in parenting disputes.
When she is not in the office, Allison enjoys spending time with her family and travelling with them. Allison is a ‘foodie,' enjoys cooking, baking and relishes any chance she gets to sample international cuisine.
