January’s featured young lawyer is Allison Burkhardt. Allison is one of the young lawyer trustees of the Burlington County Bar Association. She concentrates her practice on all aspects of family law including divorce, child and spousal support, domestic abuse, paternity, and adoptions in the greater Mount Laurel, NJ area.

As an attorney practicing in family law, Allison’s goal is to provide a support system to clients as they are going through one of the most difficult times in their life. She strives to provide clients with a full picture of what they can expect from a legal standpoint based upon the facts and circumstances of their individual case and their individual goals and priorities.

Allison’s favorite part about being in the BCBA is the ability to connect with young lawyers who practice in various areas of the law that she does not have experience in.
