Many many thanks to Peter to help me get my Green card and US citizenship.

Dedicated and Hardworking Attorney

I hired Peter Allen to represent me in a very complicated case. I was rejected by several other attorneys due to my case's complexity and low probability of winning. But Mr. Allen was amazing. We won our case against all odds and I feel blessed to have hired him. I could not have won without him and ...I am very grateful he agreed to represent me. I first learned about Peter from listening to his weekly WRCA radio broadcast 'Sounds of India' on immigration-related matters that he co-hosted with his late father Max Allen, a highly-respected attorney himself and former Consul General of India. I was deeply impressed with Peter's encyclopedic knowledge of immigration law and attention to details when answering caller's questions. I have hired several attorneys through my lifetime and based on my experience I can say that what differentiates Mr. Allen's skill set is his devotion to due process, his awareness of the good sense that I brought to my case and his determination to fully represent my interests. It has been my experience that so many attorney's simply don't listen well; they forget that we're born with one mouth and two ears but Mr. Allen shines as an exemplary listener. There is no detail that he misses while at the same time he understands the big picture. He handled my case with confidence and integrity while never sugar coating what we were up against. Mr. Allen hit a home run for me. I would not hesitate to hire him again. I give him a 10/10. He is an exceptional attorney.
