For the last ten years, she has been with Ayo and Iken PLC, representing men and women in Family Law and criminal cases, with a focus on divorce, child support, alimony, equitable distribution, and child custody.

Allison’s personal life and upbringing have also given her the ability to truly relate to her clients. She knows firsthand what it is like when families face tough legal issues and what it feels like to come out on the other side. Her goal for every client is for them to know that with her, they have an advocate who will stand by them and fight for what’s important. She believes it’s truly possible to come out of your legal issues better and stronger.
