Top Best Family Lawyers | 13996 Available

Hello! Thank you for viewing my page.  My name is Jill Hogberg, and I've been licensed to practice since 2013.  I started my career in criminal defense and family law, but I always knew that I wanted to do adoptions.  I even wrote it on my law school application essay! I absolutely love my firm, and that I have the ability to continue the important work that I do in family law as well as expand my work in adoption.. Helping my clients navigate divorce and custody issues, child support, and relocations, is an important aspect of my work.  This is a critical time in a family's life, and I enjoy being able to guide my client's through it and hopefully come out on the other end with a healthy co-parenting relationship, if the circumstances allow for it.  I'm well known amongst my colleagues for being respectful and easy to get along with, but also a zealous advocate who won't stand for the mistreatment of my clients.  I fight hard when necessary, and help make compromises where possible.. Adoptions are where my heart truly lies.  I love helping to create forever families.  Sometimes the parent/family that a child is born to, is not going to be a safe, secure, permanent parent/family.  I love working with couples and families that have struggled for years with fertility issues, and have been selected by our birth mothers.  I also truly stand in awe of our foster parent clients, who have taken a child (or children) into their homes, sometimes for years, not knowing whether they will ever achieve permanency.  Helping to complete the process and getting to congratulate the child, using their full, new legal name, is one of my favorite parts of the process.  On National Adoption Day you can find me at the Courthouse bright and early in the morning, staking hand-painted signs into the ground, putting up banners and balloons, and getting my face painted to share in the joy of the day.  I truly cannot say enough about the practice of adoption law, and what it has brought to my life.. I am also very excited to be on the forefront of new law in Washington allowing for paid surrogacy, and would be happy to help your family expand in this way, if the situation is right for you.. If you need legal assistance in any of these areas, please contact me.  I'd be honored to help.. Sincerely,. Jill Hogberg

Alyson Foster is a native Arizonan, born and raised in the East Valley.  She grew up in Tempe and Mesa, within ten miles of her current office, and she and her brother attended Mountain View High School in Mesa.  Her parents went to Chandler and Tempe high schools, attended ASU, and became teachers– her father teaching at McClintock High School and her mother teaching in the Mesa Public School system. Both sets of her grandparents lived in Arizona as well and her grandfather was a  professor at ASU. While most of her grandparents have passed away, her paternal grandmother still resides in Tempe and recently celebrated her 92nd birthday.. Alyson admits that she was a bit of a black sheep in her family because she chose to attend U of A instead of ASU. Alyson earned both a Baccalaureate Degree in Psychology and a Juris Doctorate in Law at U of A, graduating from her undergraduate studies Summa Cum Laude and from her Doctorate program Magna Cum Laude.. After graduating from law school, Alyson moved to California for a brief time.. While there, she took the bar exam and passed and was admitted to the California State Bar. Alyson missed Arizona, however, and wanted to raise her children near their extended family, so she moved back to the Valley in 2005 and obtained her license to practice law here.. Upon moving back to Arizona, Alyson held positions with several large law firms in the Valley and learned to practice law in a “trial by fire” setting.  She was forced to work long hours and follow strict firm policies.  The office procedures were always out of her hands and she had little control over which cases she accepted and rejected or how she handled representation of the clients. Ultimately Alyson’s role also shifted away from direct representation of the clients and more toward the role of a salesman and office manager. None of this was conducive to the type of representation she believed the clients deserved or to the type of personal, family life she desired.. While Alyson believes clients were attracted to the large firm advertising and the “beyond aggressive” representation slogan, they generally preferred the no nonsense, honest approach with which she handled their cases.  “I don’t make promises to clients that I can’t keep and I believe it is my duty to assist clients in weeding out issues that can and should be settled from those that are worth ‘fighting for’.”. Alyson is now a partner at Aslamy & Foster and can provide the type of representation she believes is in the best interest of her clients. Alyson’s clients benefit from the big firm experience she obtained, while receiving the dedication and attention only provided by the intimate setting of a small firm.
