Allison Harrison
Allison Harrison grew up in the automotive world. Picture Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny, only swap mechanics for car dealers. With grandparents, parents, aunts, and uncles running dealerships, Allison understood the industry’s challenges long before she stepped into a courtroom. That early experience shaped her legal career, where she has spent the past 14 years helping auto dealers tackle their toughest issues.
As the founder of ALH Law Group, Allison has built a firm dedicated to representing dealers for more than a decade. She has defended clients against consumer complaints and state actions in Ohio and Michigan. She regularly appears before the Ohio Motor Vehicle Dealer Board, the Michigan Department of State, and the Attorney General, guiding clients through regulatory and compliance battles.
Beyond litigation, Allison serves as general counsel to many dealerships, giving practical, no-nonsense advice to keep their businesses running smoothly. Her approach is clear and direct, focused on cutting through the noise and getting clients the answers they need.
For Allison, this work is more than a career. It is a natural extension of a lifelong connection to the dealership world. She understands the pressure dealers face because she has lived it, and she is committed to helping her clients succeed.
