Timid, careless, no accountability, ineffective

He only gets the 1 star because zero is not an option with the app. Greg was unwilling to hear my complaints or voice my concerns. Over an 18 month period, Greg never took the time to understand or even acknowledge the concerns I actually had even though I had been extremely vocal since the very firs...t day. He had others show up at hearings and ignored all of my input, all of our conversations, and he failed to pursue dozens of egregious, blatant and willful violations by the other party. Greg never followed through with any contempt motions to hold the opposing party accountable while I suffered under their a tions. He produced zero wins, gave no explanations, was impossible to reach, literally took weeks to reply at times. There is ZERO follow through, zero ambition and zero integrity. My assessment is he's way over his head when it comes to family law as he appeared stunned at every turn. He ignored my concerns and first hand knowledge of the opposing party and instead pursued his own agenda, whatever he pleased and accompished nothing but extensive billable hours at my expense. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Best Attorney In The Area

I can't say enough about Greg. When I was looking for an attorney months ago for some legal issues I wasn't happy with the other firms I talked to. Prices were astronomical I felt like I was just money to them and they really couldn't answer any of my concerns. Greg treats you like you are a good fri...end. He's upfront with everything and hes always there to help you through the process. He makes a stressful time very calming and in ways enjoyable. He pretty much removes your stress by his calming attitude being very well organized with your case and just treating you as a friend and not just as a client. His fees are very fair the office always sends updates for court dates and any deadlines well in advance so you won't miss a thing. I wouldn't hesitate to refer or hire Greg again for any kind of litigation or legal matter.

Successful real estate closing

Atty. Greg Allen handled the closings of the sale of my home and the purchase of my condo. He was recommended to me by my real estate agent and I’m so happy I hired him. There was a glitch in the paperwork on the sellers’ side of the condo transaction, but Atty. Allen saw it through and made sure my ...interests weren’t jeopardized. After a brief delay in closing, the transaction went smoothly – thanks to Atty. Greg Allen. He and his staff are a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them.

Excellent Counsel

My experience with Attorney Allen was excellent. From the very moment I sat down with him, he was honest, concise and seemed to actually care about the outcome of my case. Any occurrence during the litigation was thoroughly described and I was kept in the loop every step of the way. I would not hesit...ate to recommend Attorney Allen's expertise to my clients, family or friends.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
