Alison Cullen

Biography

I consider myself to be blessed in having always known exactly what career I wanted. This passion and enthusiasm gave me the drive and discipline I needed to successfully establish and operate my own company before the age of 30. I owe my success to many great people who have shown faith in me. I am grateful for the many vocational opportunities I have had and for the diversity in the work I now conduct including clinical intervention, residential rehabilitation, children's court work, and sentencing reports. Testimonials: “Despite the dire warnings of my colleagues that it was almost impossible to be successful in a s.32 application at this particular Court, we were indeed successful. I attribute this result to the meticulous and thorough report prepared by Miss Cullen. Miss Cullen’s report are always delivered in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Alison Cullen to any legal professional seeking the Forensic Psychologist”. Nicole Nelson – Barrister-at-Law “In my experience of Ms Cullen’s work I have found her dedication to her clients to be exemplary. Given that the court process often works within tight time constraints she is consistently able to meet deadlines and, from accounts received from clients of their experience, she has a particular capacity to engender confidence and rapport”. Glen Ping Kee – Partner APJ “The presiding magistrate who is quite a discerning judicial officer in fact commented “it’s a very thorough report, one of the best I’ve seen”. Prior to us making any submissions his Honour said it was clear the first limb was established and asked us to submit on the second limb. Alison’s approach is both detailed and professional. Her report was thorough, considered and based on well established principals and research. Her report was referenced and every proposition well supported...I have no hesitation in using Alison in the future and would strongly recommend her to others in the legal profession”.
