During her early legal career, she worked with St. Andrew Legal Clinic in Portland. Her education and clinic experience provided direct exposure to family-law clients and dispute resolution, supporting a practice that requires careful communication, negotiation, and preparation for contested court proceedings.

Her work at St. Andrew Legal Clinic preceded her current private practice and gave her experience assisting people during stressful legal matters. The firm’s family-law practice includes custody, support, separation, dissolution, and planning agreements, providing a framework for her work with individuals navigating significant changes in family relationships and financial arrangements.

Allison Kamilos has been a member of the Oregon State Bar since 2016 and participates in several professional organizations, including the Family Law Section of the Oregon State Bar, Oregon Academy of Family Law Practitioners, Oregon Women Lawyers, and local bar associations.
