Allison graduated with a Bachelor in Justice Studies degree from Royal Roads University in Victoria, British Columbia, prior to obtaining her Juris Doctor degree from the University of Alberta in 2019. Allison completed her articles at Walsh LLP and was called to the bar in 2020, practicing exclusively in Family Law.
Allison has a client-focused approach to ensure personalized service tailored to each client and their unique Family Law issues.
Allison believes that clients (and their family) are best served when they are in control of the outcome and actively involved in resolving their disputes in a practical and collaborative manner. When possible, Allison believes that negotiated settlements allow for creative solutions that address each client’s concerns in an effective and efficient manner.
Allison also offers cohabitation and pre-nuptial agreement services as these agreements allow clients to plan for the future and avoid unnecessary disputes.
Allison was born and raised on her family’s ranch in a small rural community north of Cochrane, Alberta. Allison was actively involved in her local 4-H Beef Club growing up; and to this present day is an active member of the Canadian Simmental Association, participating in her family’s pure-bred cattle operation. Allison’s agricultural background provides her with a strong understanding of the additional considerations that must be accounted for during a separation or divorce involving a family farm operation.
In Allison’s spare time she enjoys spending time at the family farm, hiking, traveling, reading, or hanging out with her husband and two chihuahuas.
