I am closing my TRO and custody case today! We were assigned Mr. Allison as our attorney. The case was extremely stressful and we received a ton of negative feedback about the judge we received from several other sources. At some points throughout the case I started to feel like Mr. Allison wasn't as concerned about my case as I felt he needed to be. Each time I was proven wrong. He just knew what he was doing and had the confidence that I was lacking. Case ended just the way I hoped for. He pulled a few tricks along the way that really helped the outcome. Overall very great experience and I would definitely recommend Mr. Allison and the Law Offices of Christian Schank and Associates.

Honestly an amazing experience. Without the schank and associates team/lawyer I would've totally mess up my court hearing. The lawyer that was assigned to me was Thomas Allision who handle my case very professionally and expertly. I highly recommend choosing Thomas Allision because I didn't even have communicate to phone only email. His team at shank and associates are there to win or dismiss your case. They are very realistic and understanding when telling you the truth about the law and how your case will end up at the end of the day. I even was able to get an amazing offer from them where the office negotiated a price of $3000 which was originally $5000. My court hearing was handle in a day and I can finally sleep now that it's all over. I highly recommend Thomas Allision as your lawyer because he fair, and deterimed to win your case, and he has over 14 years of experience. Don't believe me look him up, if you want to win your case choose the Shank and Associate team and choose Thomas Allision as your lawyer.
