Ask Allison for the best advice she’s ever received, and she’ll credit an unlikely source: Frozen 2, which her two sons have watched enough times to recite. When things feel overwhelming, “just do the next right thing.” It also happens to be a pretty good summary of her career.
Allison graduated from The University of Texas School of Law, where she served on the Texas Law Review and was inducted into the Chancellors Honor Society—the school’s most prestigious academic honor, strictly reserved for the top sixteen students in her class. But what truly sets Allison apart is how she pairs a brilliant legal mind with deep empathy. Driven by a desire to help others, she also earned the William Wayne Justice Award for her profound commitment to public service.
She put that commitment to work right away at the Equal Justice Center, dedicating her early years of practice to advocating for clients who could not otherwise afford an attorney. As an immigration lawyer in both public service and at a boutique law firm, she successfully guided clients through one of the country’s most complex and high-stakes legal systems.
Each step of her career sharpened the skill her clients notice first. Allison has a unique gift for taking dense, intimidating legalese and making it plain, ensuring her clients leave knowing exactly what their estate plan does and why. She also speaks Spanish and is glad to work with clients in either language.
Off the clock, Allison is outdoors with her husband, Miles, their boys, and their dog, Lady, whether on a bike or in the stands at a game. While a Texas Law grad, she is fiercely loyal to her undergraduate alma mater, Texas A&M, when it comes to all things sports.
Her favorite thing about Hardie Alcozer is how welcoming everyone is. That part was easy, because bringing her onto the team was so clearly our “next right thing.”
