Wow...I've had a single consultation with Allysyn Overton concerning my nasty divorce, and I'm already feeling hopeful when I felt only despair with the process. My very successful wife has hired an attorney that is dragging my name through the mud, and being disabled and on a tiny fixed income, I couldn't afford to retain an attorney to help me. Allysyn jumped right in with advice on how to move forward on offense, rather than trying to un-explode a bomb that already went off! The care and compassion for me in my situation was a very welcomed feeling of relief. Allysyn didn't judge me based on the accusations listed in the filings, she talked me through the whole process and left me feeling like this is going to all be ok. Now that she's got the ball rolling I'm not scared. I will update this review as we get done with this nightmare divorce. Smile, it'll be ok, just get Allysyn to fight for you! Thank you, Allysyn!! read more

I would strongly recommend doing thorough research before hiring this lawyer. She has destroyed many of her clients lives who have lived with the trauma of her unethical and manipulative actions for years. She looks at her clients as a piggy bank to exploit and does not truly care about helping anyone unless she can overbill them for work she didn't even do. She is not worth a single penny or a minute of your time. She is unknowledgable, unprofessional, disorganized, and has multiple excuses for her consistent failure. read more

Consultation was a joke and she was ready to take my money for things she couldn't explain, just acting like I was stupid for asking. Jokes on her because I declined and hired a former colleague of hers who did explain how I dodged a bullet with her. Look at how many hidden reviews she has, how she gets friends to manipulate her ratings with deceptive reviews, and how many were struck down for violating policy. I'm glad I did my homework about this sleazy shouldn't-be-a-lawyer. read more

Horrible lawyer who has no clue what's she's doing. Unorganized and flakey. I agree with the other review that says she will leave you hanging. She either has a terrible memory or it's her tactic to get you to repeat things so she can charge you 10 times to have to re-explain. She pretends to be caring but a caring person would care enough to do a good job and not just care about squeezing as much money out of you as possible. It's even worse when you realize she's just in it for the cash with her because she really does put on a good show and tell a good story, like the other review says. Besides that, she really doesn't know what's going on most of the time and you're the one who will have to pay for her repeated mistakes. read more

My wife and I hired Allysyn to write a pre-nup before our marriage. It's not exactly fun to talk about a potential divorce but its important to do. I learned that the hard way the first time I got married and ended up with a messy divorce. Allysyn wrote up a pre-nup that protected us both. It was actually surprisingly good to go through that process with Allysyn. I think my relationship with my wife is stronger after talking about what would happen if things didn't work out. It was affirming to have those conversations. Allysyn was professional and helped us through some of those awkward moments. read more

Allysyn is one of the most caring people I know. She not only does her job. Very well I might add. She also treats me like a friend. In 2018 around August there was a lot of suicide in this area in the LGBT community. When this happened, it shook us all to the core. This kind, loving, proactive, and loyal woman offered her time for free to help the transgender community with name and gender changes, and there was more than a few hours she gave up to help. I now have hired her to help me with a matter. She has treated me with respect, sympathy, compassion, and a loyalty but I can't express my gratitude for. Words fail to express the gratitude I have for this human. Recommending her would not even be a thought it would just be an automatic answer. Keep doing the good work and working with the community we love and appreciate you very much. read more

In hopes that DOMA is overturn we are looking into our possibilities to get married and apply for a spouse visa/citizenship so we went to Ms Overton for advice. It is clear that Overton has a keen interest in doing everything necessary to best represent her clients. Her diligence is impressive as is her knowledge of the law and her willingness to investigate any areas necessary for further clarity. She is creative and thoughtful and has a good listening hear. Our case it's not easy since everything is up in the air until the court decides the next step but we were incredibly impressed with Overton's willingness to investigate every detail of our case as possible with a swiftness and passion for us as her clients, read more

I went through a drawn-out and infuriating divorce from a malignant ex. It had already been finalized when I met with Allsysyn, but there are still loose ends. She very generously provided some legal advice to help me get back on track, and to clarify some issues my former lawyer didn't make clear. I very much appreciated her warmth, caring, knowledge, and organization, which are very important when you are going through and recovering from a bad (but necessary) divorce. She spent A LOT of time with me, gave me a lot of good advice, listened to my story, and did not charge me. Thank you, Allysyn! I wish I'd known of you before, when I was in the thick of things; I feel confident the outcome would have been much better if I had had her by my side. read more

First, I would like to say how passionate Allysyn is as a lawyer and as a person. Having someone fight on your behalf when you have fought for so long is something that should not be taken for granted. That being said, Allysyn is smart, funny, and most importantly honest. When you have a consultation, expect it to last a little longer than for what it's booked. Allysyn came to my aid when I was in my darkest hours. After our consultation, there was immediate relief. I had hope once again and was able to start making new goals for my future. The truth is you are not always going to get your way in court, but you can start by hiring the right lawyer. Allysyn is that lawyer. She will work hard for you, just as she has dedicated so much time to me. I see a future supreme court justice nominee here. read more

I called this office to get some advice about my situation with child support. I was looking forward to speaking with her after all the 5 star reviews. She answered the phone and said that she was with a client and that she will call me back in 5 minutes. She never did. I called her back to make sure that she had the right phone number and she told me that she was very busy, but she will call me back in a little bit. I said that I understood and told her to take her time but just make sure that you have my number, and she said yes I do, it's on my caller ID. Well, she never called back. read more

I highly recommend Allyson. She's competent and she's authentic. What you see is what you get. I'd feel confident with her representation in the Family Courts, and also you're not going to have to deal with inappropriate / unethical behavior, or game playing with the bill, etc. unlike other lawyers in family law, (e.g. Sara Davis). Thanks Allyson, stay genuine! read more

I contacted Allysyon Overton about my child support case, which had been inactive for many years. Although the process seemed daunting and stressful, Ms. Overton completely put me at ease by patiently educating me on the process through my millions of questions and looming doubts.

Ally was a god-send when I was having trouble with family court. I didn't have a lot of money at the time, but she was willing to work out an arrangement with me, based on my small income. She held my hand and kept me informed every step of the way. I appreciated it when she was honest with me about what were realistic versus unrealistic goals, and she was right on, every time. I also appreciated that she was sensitive to the emotional charged issues, and kept us on task and moving forward toward a satisfactory resolution. read more

I went to Allysyn Overton for help when I needed to legally change my name and gender in my transgender transition. I don't have a lot of money and she was not only super kind towards me, but she made it so I could afford her services. In a matter of few months everything was taken care of and when my court date she was there with me and incredibly supportive. Even when I had a problem with a company afterward whom didn't want to change my name and gender for me, even when I had my decrees, she went down with me the very next day and made it so they changed everything over for me. I recommend her to anyone and everyone. read more
