Outstanding Legal Representation

Allison Etkin exceeded all expectations during a complex construction dispute that threatened our business. Her deep expertise in construction law, honed over 13 years at Akerman LLP, was evident from our first consultation. She quickly understood the intricate details of our contract issues and subrogation claims, providing strategic guidance that turned a potentially devastating situation into a favorable resolution. What truly sets Allison apart is her ability to combine her technical legal knowledge with genuine client care—she made a stressful process feel manageable and even human. Her recognition in construction law speaks volumes about her capabilities, but it was her personalized approach that made the biggest difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for any complex civil litigation matters, especially in construction or real estate disputes. The outcome was excellent, but the experience was even better thanks to her professionalism and dedication.
