Allison is an appellate attorney dedicated to safeguarding individual rights and working to ensure fairness throughout the appellate process. Allison is committed to amplifying her client’s stories, treating them with dignity and respect, and advocating for outcomes that reflect fairness and justice. Throughout law school, Allison represented underserved and indigent clients facing severe outcomes, which shapes her commitment to rigorous advocacy and compassionate representation.

Before joining The Appellate Group, Allison clerked for Judge Amy J. Oliver on the Utah Court of Appeals. Allison graduated from Boston University School of Law, where she served as Articles Editor of the American Journal of Law and Medicine and was a teaching assistant for a master’s level Health Care Policy class. She also represented indigent clients through BU Law’s Criminal Clinic, volunteered with the Massachusetts Defense for Eviction, and served as a student interviewer on the Faculty Appointments Committee.

In her free time, Allison enjoys skiing, mountain biking, trail running, and spending time with friends. When she is not in the mountains, you can find Allison tinkering with her chocolate chip cookie recipe and enjoying the copious amount of cookies she bakes as a result.
