Allison’s primary practice areas are estate planning, probate, agriculture, business formation, real estate, and water and natural resources.

Growing up on a farm outside of Henderson, Nebraska, Allison developed a love of agriculture early on, sparking her passion for farm and ranch succession planning. She understands that every farm and ranch operation is different and that there is no one-size-fits all estate or succession plan. Allison recognizes that farming and ranching presents unique estate and succession planning challenges due to family ties to the land and rising agricultural real estate prices. She works closely alongside her clients to learn what is truly important to them so she can help create a plan that will achieve their goals.

Allison has also represented clients embroiled in feuds with family members over how to divide the farm or ranch assets after their parents failed to create a feasible succession plan. She uses these experiences to create successions plans for her clients that avoid the same pitfalls and potential family quarrels.

Allison joined the firm after receiving her Juris Doctor from the University of Nebraska College of Law, where she graduated with High distinction and received several academic and writing awards. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration, with minors in economics and political science, from Hastings College in 2018.

Allison is actively involved in the Kearney community and serves on the Junior Achievement Board, Kearney Area Children’s Museum Board, and is a graduate of Leadership Kearney Class #32.
