Allyson Marta

Competent on complex benefits issues, but communication was inconsistent

I hired Allyson Marta to assist my small business with a complicated ERISA compliance review and the restructuring of our 401(k) plan. Her knowledge of Employee Benefits Law is evident, and she handled the technical details with clear expertise, which aligns with the recognition she has received in this field. The legal documents she drafted were thorough and precise. However, my experience was mixed. While the final work product was solid, there were periods where responses to emails took several days, leaving me uncertain about timelines. For straightforward questions, I sometimes felt the explanations were more complex than necessary. She is undoubtedly a knowledgeable attorney in Dallas for benefits matters, but the client service aspect and managing expectations could be more consistent. The job got done correctly, but the process required more proactive follow-up on my part than I anticipated.
