I was fortunate to work with Ms. Dundas. It was a grueling six year process and she was always there to explain my options, relevant strategies and most importantly keep me on track when the pressure of process began to seem insurmountable.

My case with Allison demonstrated how outstanding she is with all the following distinctions: experience, knowledge of the law & process, strategy, preparation, prudence, and compassion. She is an astute, clear-sighted & assertive counselor who consistently demonstrates a detailed & thorough understanding of the daunting complex of challenges faced in separation, child custody & divorce ranging from innumerable minutiae to overarching strategy. In particular, Allison was very efficient, directed, and targeted at the extended goals of asserting my self-interests especially with regard to mediation & child custody – she has great foresight born from well-integrated experience. Over 19 months of the case, I truly appreciated how concise & exact she was in communicating with the other party and executing on the process – from a financial standpoint I benefitted from much greater value of effort than I reasonably calculated for the anticipated cost. Another observation I made that further cemented my confidence was the demonstrably established credibility she holds with judges & the court system. On a personal side, I may have benefitted as much, if not more, from her heartfelt awareness, understanding & compassion for my anguished state through most of the process. She was very adept at helping to modulate my emotions throughout – something I was not cognizant of for a long time, and this effort further contributed to executing a thoughtful, constructive plan. My separation, child custody & divorce ended up decidedly where Allison advised we would arrive at the outset, a conclusion that I had great difficulty believing was achievable. The path from confusion, uncertainty & enormous emotional distress to understanding, acceptance, satisfaction & personal ease was the most challenging course of my life and one that I could not have followed without Allison’s guidance, action & encouragement. I have rarely felt so fortunate as to have Allison manage and execute my case while concurrently offering the most meaningful personal support.

Allison Dundas helped me with perspective when I was in the process of a divorce with young children. She approached my case with care, concern, and excellent guidance. I couldn't have made the choices I made to change my life without legal help. Allison's expertise was pivotal for me to make the change I needed to make.

Allison helped to navigate child custody and support with my ex whom was very much less than reasonable.

Got the job done and fees seemed reasonable. Process took longer than I had hoped but guess that should have been expected. The delay was likely due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, court was backed up.

Allison handled my long, drawn out divorce with patience and competence all while doing her best to keep billable hours at a minimum. She kept me informed, explained everything thoroughly and advocated for me and my best interests. My only regret is not opting for lifetime spousal support as opposed to receiving only slightly more upfront, non-modifiable and for a limited time period, although given the circumstances then and lack of compromise from the other side, it seemed to be the easier and less expensive option in terms of continuing negotiations and legal fees so Allison's advice to accept the offer in front of me made sense at the time. Overall, very good representation.
