In 2021, Allison was selected as Vice President of Finance for Sloan Law Firm by her partners, making her the first woman on the firm’s management team.

What is the biggest professional goal you have accomplished?
Successfully navigating the law firm through the pandemic. It was of utmost importance to be able to maintain our staff, which we did and actually increased.
What is something you wish someone had told you during your career journey?
I wish someone would have prepared me for the depravity that I encounter. I wish someone would have told me that I would not be able to help every person that I come across.
What characteristic do you most admire in others?
Blunt brutal honesty. As a family law attorney, I have to have difficult conversations with people on a daily basis. I have to deliver news that they do not want to hear.
I admire others who also have to maneuver in absolute honesty, as I know the emotional toll that it takes at times, but it is necessary.
