Allison Scollar

Allison Scollar, based in New York, is a consultant specializing in sustainable energy. She collaborates with developers and government agencies to integrate eco-friendly solutions. Transitioning from a successful career as a real estate attorney, she redirected her focus to the nonprofit sector, driven by a significant personal custody battle over her daughter. She is a crucial figure at the RETI Center, where she helps expand green job opportunities for marginalized communities. Previously, as a partner at Gold Scollar Moshan, Allison managed a diverse range of real estate transactions and supported the arts by facilitating legal services for artists and nonprofits. This involvement deeply enriched New York's cultural offerings. Her challenging experiences in a prolonged custody dispute, which highlighted critical issues within the family court system affecting LGBTQ+ and adoptive parents, spurred her advocacy efforts. Allison is actively involved with the PowerPlay NYC and Pen Parentis boards, which focus on empowering young girls and aiding parent-writers. Beyond her professional commitments, she enjoys hiking and boxing and dedicates time to volunteering with God's Love We Deliver. Allison Scollar is preparing to launch her book, In Her Best Interests: How Family Court Destroyed Our Family (And How You Can Keep It From Destroying Yours), which aims to provide insights and support to those navigating the complexities of family court.
