Valentia Alleyne, Esq.

 
Valentia Alleyne is the Managing Attorney of The Alleyne Law Firm. Attorney Alleyne is devoted to providing
dependable service and quality legal representation, while still being sensitive to the delicate nature of estate planning and probate cases. Her estate planning practice focuses on tax planning, elder care planning, and drafting documents such as wills, trusts, and powers of attorney that accurately reflects a client’s long-term life plan while protecting the client’s assets. Attorney Alleyne's probate practice offers strategic advocacy and support to protect the best interests of her clients in probate.
 
Giving back to the community is essential for an attorney, and Attorney Alleyne regularly volunteers her legal services to low-income clients through community organizations. While attending law school, she was a law clerk with the Illinois Attorney General's Office, Cook County State's Attorney, and the Iowa Civil Rights Commission, and served as an editor of Loyola's Public Interest Law Reporter. Prior to practicing law and founding The Alleyne Law Firm, Attorney Alleyne worked as a marketing and business development executive in the corporate sector for over 15 years.
