About Alison M.
Alison M. Reigh combines a science background and a law degree in a practice that emphasizes careful analysis and clear communication. She came to law after studying forensic biology, and that analytical training informs how she evaluates cases and communicates complex information to clients and judges.
She earned a Bachelor of Science in Forensic Biology from Pennsylvania State University, University Park. After that she attended Temple University Beasley School of Law, completing her J.D. in 2015. Her academic record shows a steady progression from the laboratory to the courtroom, and she has spoken in professional settings about translating technical fact patterns into legal arguments.
Early in her career she joined professional bar associations in two states. She has been a member of the State Bar of New Jersey since 2015. She is also active in the Pennsylvania Bar Association and its Family Law and Young Lawyers divisions, holding memberships there since 2018. Those affiliations have provided regular opportunities for continuing education and peer collaboration.
Her work has been shaped by both scientific training and courtroom practice. The combination gives her a particular aptitude for cases that require careful fact-gathering, methodical preparation, and practical presentation. Colleagues describe her approach as methodical and direct; she tends to prefer straightforward explanations over legal jargon when speaking with clients.
Reigh practices at Cooley & Handy, Lawyers at Law, PLLC. At the firm she handles matters that often touch on family law themes, drawing on her membership in the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Family Law Division. She represents clients in hearings and settlements and prepares the documentation that courts expect. She also participates in continuing legal education offered through bar groups and contributes to internal firm training on case preparation.
Outside the office she stays connected to professional communities in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. She maintains memberships that keep her informed about changes in court rules and procedural practice. The combination of a science undergraduate degree and a law school education continues to guide how she assesses evidence and frames legal issues for clients and judges.
She currently practices at Cooley & Handy, Lawyers at Law, PLLC, where her work centers on family law matters.
