"Jennifer Piper and Alison Lappe at the Family Ally law firm were instrumental in completing the divorce process in my situation, which required a lawyer to submit the settlement documents after the mediation process in St. Louis County, MO. Jennifer and Alison were both excellent communicators and very thorough in ensuring all documents required were completed. They helped streamline a very complex and at times very overwhelming process. I definitely recommend their firm and their assistance if you find yourself in similar circumstances."

"Due to some life changes, it was time to address my custody agreement that had been broadly written at the time of my divorce. I knew I had a find a lawyer who could represent me and get me what I wanted. I found Family Ally via a search engine and after our initial consultation, knew that Jennifer should represent me. Throughout the whole process, she was very responsive, professional and stood up for me. The process was long and arduous, but in the end, the modification to my custody agreement was exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend Family Ally when looking for a lawyer to represent your best interests."
