Allan Baldwin Cruikshank Jr

My primary complaint with Allan in the past was his not getting things done in a timely manner. However, in part, I believe that may be a result of his genuine desire to help people. He charges exactly half of what his many lesser well-educated peers do. So a lot of clients flock to him and he someti...mes spreads his time resources too thin. If he charged double what he charges now, like the rest of his peers, he can cut his hours in half and earn the same income. He's good enough that he'll get a steady stream of paying clients and he'll have more time to better serve those clients while allowing some free time for himself to decompress and recuperate. In the end, he got the job done for me. The work he did was good, and the court never would have held the tardy filing against me personally; Allan took responsibility for it within the motion he filed. He got the case dismissed and has proven to me that he has a better understanding and knowledge of the law and principles of the law as they are created and reinforced through caselaw than his peers do. So for those reasons, I am revising this post and have rehired Allan for current and future legal endeavors. I also highly recommend his services.

Alan is awesome. He came to me via a recommendation and I was skeptical at first because he was so hard to get in touch with. But once I hired him, he has been on the ball and great. So much so that I’ve kept him as my attorney for 5 years! He’s straightforward and tells you like it is. If you have t...o take your issue to trial, you definitely want him representing you in the courtroom! He’s quick on his feet and witty. Definitely worth the money and the wait.

Alan had handled my gf divorce proceedings after a horrible experience with another plattsburgh attorney. He was very caring and took time to listen to her and make sure her wishes were heard. He was able to resolve the divorce exactly the way everyone wanted and it cost a fraction of what others ...charged her. One attorney had taken over 4000 from her then dropped her because she refused to do what he wanted. The most telling moment for me was when we were waiting on our first meeting. Mr Alan was not aware we were there yet and when he came in his office he was yelling that he had done it. He had kept his client out of jail and arranged house arrest. He was truly excited and happy he had helped his client. That showed me he was a good person and a great attorney
