The Rising Stars is a group of upcoming lawyers who are expected to make major contributions to their respective fields of law in the coming years. Rising Stars often wind up on the Super Lawyers list after a few years.
Super Lawyers selects each year's list, "via a patented multiphase selection process involving peer nomination, independent research and peer evaluation."
Ms. Avallone's work is primarily in family law. She does some work in employment and labor and general practice.
"Family law is more than just helping people with divorce. It is child custody, spouse support and a variety of legal issues," she said. "Sometimes it is also about domestic violence and getting restraining orders. If you are a victim of domestic violence, you do not surrender your rights. You need someone who knows the law and will fight for you."
In employment law, Ms. Avallone works with employees who are having issues on the job. This can include discrimination cases and hostile work environment issues. She believes people have the right to work in a safe environment and if employers will not provide that, they should be held accountable.
In general practice, Ms. Avallone works with clients with mediation, arbitration, hearing and court trial if necessary.
Ms. Avallone works with Hanan Isaacs, a veteran of the Super Lawyers listing. He was first on the list in 2010 and has been once each year since then.
"I am delighted to see that Misty is a Rising Star. I believe the Super Lawyers group made the right selection and I know she will accomplish great things moving forward," he said.
Ms. Avallone has practice law in New Jersey for nine years. She practices at the at the Kingston Law Group. She is licensed in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

About
Kingston Law Group
In 1981, Hanan M. Isaacs created
a Central Jersey law partnership with Robert A. Felmeister. The firm was known
as Felmeister & Isaacs. From their newly minted law offices In East
Windsor, Mercer County, these two young lawyers were hellbent on creating an
immediate commercial following. They took an aggressive stance on their first
amendment right to advertise their legal services, including on the radio, a
right the New Jersey Supreme Court was slow to recognize and support. Their
stance produced a 4-year tussle with the Supreme Court, resulting in multiple
hearings in state and federal court and two changes to the Rules of Professional
Conduct, including the current Rule permitting most forms of advertising.
In 1988, Felmeister departed the
firm to start a different career, and Isaacs constructed a sole practice
focusing on family and divorce (in which he is a Certified Family Law Practitioner),
employment law for workers, personal injury, insurance bad faith, and general
civil and criminal defense practice. He also is an expert in negotiations,
mediation, and arbitration of cases, whether as a neutral or a lawyer
representing a party in those venues.
From 1998 to 2018, Mr. Isaacs
hired paralegals and law associates to handle the firm’s work. He taught
dispute resolution at Seton Hall Law School and Rider University, taught
lawyers and judges the art and craft of negotiations and mediation, served as a
Mediation Trainer and lecturer for the NJ Institute of Continuing Legal
Education and NJ Association of Professional Mediators (NJAPM), published many
articles on divorce, family law, and Alternative Dispute Resolution, and served
in leadership roles at the State Bar Association, on Supreme Court Committees,
and at NJAPM. He also served for many years on successive Zoning Boards of
Adjustment (in Montgomery Township and Princeton), and on his Homeowners
Association Board.
In 2018, Mr. Isaacs formed a law
partnership with Misty V. Avallone, Esq., a long-time associate of the firm,
who focuses on matrimonial law practice, along with Tabitha Y. Clark, Esq., who
focuses on trusts and estates, Elderlaw, and support for Ms. Avallone’s and Mr.
Isaacs’s divorce and employment law cases. Ms. Clark also serves as the law
firm’s Chief Technical Officer.
