Hired Attorney Alison Sheahen

Alison Zinn entered our family in the middle of a time sensitive crises. We had seen another lawyer who didn't know how to help us. Alison responded immediately with a solution that untimely helped us pull our family through a very difficult time. I could not have predicted what a monumental impact her legal advice would have on our family. I highly recommend her.

Hired Attorney Wendi Alper-Pressman

Wendi Alper-Pressman is brilliant, conscientious and available 24/7 to help her clients. As an attorney looking for help on Financing Issues, I know the difference in attorney quality. I did not know Wendi before, but I’m extremely thanksful she was recommended to me. I do not think I could have made a better choice!!!

Claimed he did not say what we had written in the notes from our meeting. Back pedaled on statements we had a case against two other law firms.

Hired Attorney Alison Sheahen

Definitely would not recommend! Alison did not do what was in our written contract & what she verbally agreed to do. She told me that I could contest my step-dad's will based on undue influence &/or lack of testamentary capacity which I believed were both highly probable esp. since he had written Merry Christmas on a B-Day check he sent to me the previous May. Then, oddly after Alison spoke to the other attorney, she called me & said that my step-father had every right to change his will no matter what. All she was supposed to discuss w/ the other attorney was to get an accounting of my mom's & step-father's estates & to find out the status of probate - she did neither. Instead, she discussed other things including if my step-father was of sound mind when he changed his will. (I wanted actual medical records, not a statement from his family's attorney saying that there was nothing wrong with my step-father.) Alison was at best inept and at worse unethical.

Do not use!!! He is a horrible attorney. He doesn't know anything about what he's doing, he's unethical and he will waste your money without any favorable outcome.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
