Alison is a tenacious lawyer who works diligently for her clients. I am not surprised that there are negative comments here. There are two sides to every case and the other side of her would not be happy having to go up against her!

Alison Pengelley drew out my divorce proceedings for a year and a half. During this time I paid her over $130,000. By law my settlement should have been around $400,000. There were no children involved, so it should have been fairly straight forward. She wasted my time and my money by frivolous motions which also cost me dearly as she lost these motions. She was more interested in the amount of paper she could produce then getting me a decent settlement. I am now broke, as I had to use all my RRSP’s to pay her. Please don’t waste your time and money with this person!

Hey, thought I’d share this view. I beat Alison Pengooly. What a hack. I’d ask for proof of successful cases from her clients. She always looses because she fights on emotions and not the facts. Alison makes up lies and her clients end up paying the bill. Ask how how many times she’s been fired by her clients under oath. Her twisted connections within the family assessment field are unbelievable. If you’re up against this lawyer, stand strong and do not use any of her certified assessment professionals because it will cost you. Alison Pengelley will most likely be disbarred in her future career as a family law lawyer in my opinion.

Alison Pengelley is uppermost in professionalism, understanding, tireless work and effort, and I feel so very blessed to have had and continue to have Alison on my side as my family lawyer. Alison negotiated an excellent settlement for me, and made an invaluable contribution to my new life. I will never forget Alison’s strong advocacy and work ethic on my behalf, as well as the fact that she cares. Alison empowered me during a very difficult time in my life, and I would highly recommend her to others.

Alison Pengelley is in this for the money. Nothing else. She preys on people who feel they have a score to settle and uses this to string them along so she can cash in on every piece of documentation she touches. She tries to manipulate the law and convinces her clients that she can get them more, when all the while she is trying to get more OUT of their pockets. She uses the anger inside of a person going through a separation, and channels it for her own benefit. I would NOT recommend this lawyer, as regardless of how much anger there might be in a separation or divorce, the law is the law, and no amount of manipulating it to align with that anger will change the final result. She will only cost you money - and if there are kids involved, all that wasted money on Pengelley is taken away from those kids. Do your research before obtaining a lawyer. Thank goodness for this site!

Professionalism-1 Advise-1 Lying-5 A lawyer that looks to gain at any cost should not be involved in family law involving children. A complete disgrace of our legal system is up for hire. Please think of what is best for your family. Alison will only steal everything she can from you and your ex partner's lives moving forward. Don't be fooled. Brian Galbraith needs to recognise the family law morals and return to operating a professional law firm. Alison should not be in family law, perhaps criminal prosecution is more in her line of fire. What a wicked unprofessional lawyer. Stay Clear.

Afull Lawyer, charged excessivly and gave me bad legal advice the whole way through. She just wanted to drag my case on and on to charge more hours. Her arguenents were terible and based on ridiculous lies she came up with on the spot, also her staff have the worst editing skills ive ever seen. I truly regret ever hiring this lawyer.

Worked with this lawyer for some time after the previous lawyer went on matleave. She was just billing me excessively for reviewing my papers, she is good at that for sure. I feel like absolutely no value was added to my case. I have no income and I regret very much I lost lots of money and time, almost lost the case because got notice of approaching dismissal. 14 thousand dollars lost from my credit cards in a half a year, still have no custody of my children and have to start almost from scratch, and being in huge debt. I would never recommend this lawyer to anyone. I could have achieved more representing myself and would not be in debt if I have avoided Galbraith Family Law office in the first place. Hope many of you will read this and will not make the same mistake.
