Hired Law Firm

Allison Gerli guided us through a very difficult situation. When we had our initial meeting with her, I immediately "knew" we going to hire her. She is very professional kind, comapassionate, yet knew how to push back when needed. She was very responsive to the numerous questions we had. We trusted Allison completely. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney!

Hired Law Firm

Worked with Allison Gerli on my Child Custody agreement update. Allison and team at The Center for Family Law were always responsive, flexible in sharing and processing paperwork, explain what was going on and going through options. Through out my difficult process, Allison was open, honest and compassionate with where we were in the process and for my emotions with having to go through the circumstances. In the end, I felt like I got a fair and reasonable agreement with the other party, once close to my preferred outcome. All court filings, prep paperwork and status communication was well organized and timely. Include at conclusion of my case. I highly recommend The Center for Family Law, and Allison Gerli.

Hired Attorney Allison Robyne Gerli

Allison worked on my case (child custody) during the COVID-19 crisis, where she worked from home. I mention this because not once did I ever feel she was neglecting my case. She remained professional, responded to emails in a timely manner, thoroughly answered any question I asked, and still ensured documents were filed with the courts. This really allowed my mind to be at ease throughout the process, especially seeing her dedication to my case. What I appreciate most is she always considered the betterment of my child when it came to making a recommendation or decision. Ultimately, my case was settled, and I owe that to Allison.

Hired Law Firm

Allison Gerli was phenomenal throughout the entire process. She listened to my situation and concerns without prejudice, and worked towards a conclusion that would be agreeable and beneficial to all parties. Payment was very reasonable, and when the retainer was exhausted, the firm worked with me to set up a payment plan that covered overages. I have nothing but positive feedback on my experience.

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.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
