Professional and Compassionate Lawyer

Maribel Allen as my lawyer was very knowledgeable, attentive and professional. Initially, Mrs. Allen spent a considerable amount of time discussing the details of the case, she helped me set realistic expectations for the case and how she would help me obtain the best possible outcome. Mrs. Allen alw...ays returns messages promptly and is professional helping me as client stay informed throughout the entire process. In the end, everything turned out exactly as she predicted and better! As my lawyer I am very satisfied with the way she represented me and negotiated the best outcome for me. I will definitely be recommending her to friends or family who need legal representation in the future. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend!

I’ve used Mrs. Allen’s services twice now and I can say I highly recommend her. She actually listened to what I have to say and seemed like she truly cared about the outcome of my case. I was happy with the result of her work and she also was fairly affordable. If I need another attorney in the futur...e I’ll definitely be calling her.

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.
