An incredible team!!!
In September of 2013 I was in a horrific motorcycle accident. My odds of survival were less than 5% (literally). Someone failed to see me or yield the right of way and they pulled out in front of me, and I had absolutely no chance to avoid the impact. I was taken to Orange Regional Medical Center whe...

Fantastic Attorney!
Allen is a great guy and a great attorney. He always gives me the straight information and advice I am looking for and he is the lawyer I always refer people that are looking for bankruptcy information to. He is open, honest, and friendly and I highly recommend him.
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked for Allen A. Kolber, Esq. for a number of years and I can attest to his professionalism and attention to detail. Allen is very open, honest, personable, and fair. It was a pleasure working for him and he remained a good friend of mine. Moreover, my husband consulted with him on occasion and I referred a number of my family and friends to his office."
"I endorse this lawyer. Allen is extremely professional and dedicated to zealously representing his clients. He is a formidable adversary and always provides courtesy to the court and his expertise to each case."
"Allen Kolber is an extremely knowledgable attorney, especially when it comes to Bankruptcy and Business Law. I would not hesitate to refer a client to him. He carries himself in a professional and ethical manner and is well respected by both the bench and bar. For these reasons and more, I endorse this fine attorney."
"I would like to endorse Mr. Allen Kolber for any client that has any bankruptcy (7, 11 or 13) issues or foreclosure problems. Allen is a hardworking advocate that works for and with his clients."
"I endorse Mr. Kolber without reservation. He consistently provides Avvo users with excellent advice, particularly with respect to bankruptcy and foreclosure matters."

"I absolutely endorse this lawyer. Allen is a great attorney and advocates fiercely for his clients. When I was opposing counsel to him, I may have said he advocated too fiercely, but you have to respect that! I was so impressed with him that I have even sent friends and family to him on matters I could not handle. I felt secure in knowing they were in good hands!"
"I have worked with Allen A. Kolber, Esq. for over six years, first as adversarial attorneys on opposing sides in litigation, then as a colleague on many cases. Although I am a general practitioner specializing in real estate, family law, general business law and estate planning, I refer clients who are facing foreclosure or other financial problems to Allen Kolber, Esq. I know that he is specialist in Bankruptcy law and has been practicing bankruptcy law for over 15 years. He is not one of the many attorneys who are now first entering the field of bankruptcy law to take advantage of the current economic crisis, and are hurting their clients as a result. Mr. Kolber is very conservative and diligent, and will only file a bankruptcy case for a client if that client absolutely requires the bankruptcy to resolve his or her financial issues. Many times Mr. Kolber will recommend that a client not file for bankruptcy when it is not warranted. I know Mr. Kolber to be a highly ethical an"
