After earning her Paralegal Certificate from DePaul University in 2016, Allison joined M&A Law Firm with a unique and varied professional background. Prior to entering the legal field, she held roles in education, sales, and small business ownership. Her entrepreneurial experience, coupled with her sharp organizational skills and drive to support others, naturally led her to a leadership role in law firm operations.

Allison thrives on solving problems, creating order, and making life easier for those around her, skills she brings to every client file and attorney she supports. Her deep loyalty to the team and genuine empathy for clients make her a trusted and steady presence at the firm. She has worked alongside the firm’s founder, Ahmed Motiwala, for many years over the past decade and continues to enjoy supporting him and the firm’s attorneys in achieving outstanding results for clients.

Outside of work, Allison enjoys traveling and spending time at her Michigan lake house with friends and family, along with her dog Murphy, named after former Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy, admired for his integrity and early civil rights advocacy.

Allison’s diverse life experiences, from entrepreneurship to adventure travel, have shaped her approach to legal support work. Her ability to adapt, problem-solve, and manage complex logistics translates directly to her role in coordinating cases, supporting attorneys, and ensuring clients receive the attention and care they deserve. She brings the same dedication and meticulous attention to detail to every legal matter that she once applied to navigating new waters.
