When you are looking for a divorce lawyer in Mobile, it is important to find an attorney who understands your situation and knows how to guide you to successfully navigate divorce, child custody, and child support. There are a lot of divorce lawyers out there, and it can be confusing to tell who is right for you.
Alison Baxter Herlihy has worked as a divorce attorney in Mobile, Alabama since 2005. She worked at Penelope House after undergraduate school, and this experience of working with parents and children who have experienced domestic violence inspired her to focus her legal career on Divorce and Family Law.
To this day, the focus of Herlihy Family Law is on helping families and children have a better life after divorce. We pay close attention to issues such as safety, equitable division of assets, and parenting time arrangements that serve the best interests of children.
We strive to provide prompt updates to our clients and to explain the legal process such that our clients feel like informed, active participants in their cases as all times.
With close to half of all marriages ending in divorce, divorce is probably the number one way that most of us encounter the legal system. Think about it – either you or someone close to you is or will be divorced at some point. It affects everyone, but it can be a new beginning, instead of just an ending.
Divorce can be devastating for families, but it does not have to be. The legal system is slow, complicated, and confusing, but here at Herlihy Family Law, we work to make your divorce as painless as possible.

We just received this new 5 star client review on Google:
I went through a long and difficult contested divorce with no minor children. Alison and her team were so good at advising me throughout the process. They were patient and understanding with any issue I had. If I had questions or concerns, Alison was able to answer and put me at ease. She has a gift for being the right balance of firm and compassionate. In preparing for trial, she was knowledgeable, skilled and thorough. I would recommend her and her team to anyone for any area of family law.

Alison is a family lawyer by day, but one of her biggest passions is practicing and teaching yoga! She has been practicing yoga for over 20 years, teaching for 5 years, and just recently became a 500-hour certified yoga teacher, which is the highest level of training available for a yoga instructor.
Stress is an epidemic in the United States and lawyers have some of the highest rates of stress of any profession. With family law, the stakes are high because you are fighting for your client’s livelihoods and the well-being of their children. Experiencing a divorce or family law issue yourself can be one of the most stressful life changes there is. Yoga practice, both on an off your yoga mat, has been proven time and again to be effective in managing and coping with stress.
Responding to this need and a desire to help others is what motivated Alison to create her online course, Managing Stress through Yoga. It is a four-week course that combines readings, practices of journaling, mindfulness and meditation, and four 60-minute yoga practices you can do in the privacy of your own home.
