There are a lot of attorneys who practice family law because they think it is easy. Anyone can handle a divorce or custody case, right?

Wrong. Family law is challenging in every aspect. It implicates nearly every area of the law and is inextricably woven into your daily life. Family law cases are about more than just the outcome; they are about how the process of getting to that outcome affects the rest of your life. Where most legal cases deal exclusively with past events, family law cases are never frozen in time and are often an emotional and logistical roller coaster involving past, present, and future events.

Not every lawyer understands that perspective, but Allison does. Prior to entering law school, Allison worked as an educator in a Montessori setting where, by developing and implementing individualized approaches to maximize each of her student’s educational experience, she discovered her greatest passion: helping others discover how to thrive.  Eventually, this passion compelled Allison to pursue a legal career where she could help a greater number of people in a greater number of ways.

Some of the notable points along Allison’s journey to her current position as founder and managing attorney of Boschert Law LLC include:

• Graduating summa cum laude with distinction from the University of Colorado at Boulder with her B.A. in History;
• Earning her American Montessori Society teaching certification from the Montessori Education Center of the Rockies;
• Working as a primary-level Montessori educator for several years prior to entering law school;
• Working as a fully-licensed property and casualty insurance agent to financially prepare for entering law school;
• Clerking in both judicial and private practice positions as a law student, in order to familiarize herself with the law from both sides of the bench; and,
• Earning her Juris Doctor from the University of Colorado Law School, along with a certificate in Juvenile and Family Law, with honors.

Each step in her journey has brought Allison to where she is today:  ready to help you embrace your past, present, and future challenges by helping you identity and arrive at an optimal outcome not only in your case, but it your life overall.

Outside of her legal work, Allison remains a devout bookworm whose head can often be found buried in books concerning history, education, and philosophy. She loves baseball, though not nearly as much as her husband does, and also enjoys gardening, cooking, baking, and doing anything artistic. In short, she loves finding beauty and satisfaction in finding a way to create something new out of something old or dull.
