After graduating from Cleveland Marshall College of Law in 2011, Allison immediately opened a law firm focusing on Criminal Defense. Over the past 9 years, she has worked on hundreds of felony cases, misdemeanor cases and criminal appeals. Although Cleveland is the primary location for her practice, Allison has traveled to most counties in Ohio to represent clients in need of services.

Criminal Defense goes beyond representing someone charged with a crime, it's assisting an individual to obtain community services, mental health assistance and addiction relief. Allison works hard to bring compassion to this area of law.
