Michael, I have been requesting to speak to you about the case progress, but unsuccessfully. Your office staff has been saying they will pass on the requests, yet no contact . Please kindly reach out. Thanks.

Very Smart
My son had a very complicated case. Before allongo we hire 3 other lawyers who never told us about a defense that won the case. After the first 20 minutes talking to mr Allongo he already knew what to do. He won the case and saved my son.
