Solicitation Gone Wrong

Mr. Pallen solicited me through the mail regarding a criminal matter. I retained him after signing an agreement which included Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition to completion. When I followed up in writing multiple times, Mr. Pallen eventually stated there wasn't anything to send about ARD, b...ut it would be about $1,400. When we arrived at court in March of 2023, I asked if ARD was offered. Mr. Pallen berated me earlier and in the presence of my fiance stated you were supposed to apply for it. I terminated him the next day. He has refused to refund any of the prepaid $3,500 and today, when I saw him in court with my new attorney, who actually filed my ARD application, he dared me to take him to the disciplinary board in the presence of my new attorney and fiance. Also, nin-DUI ARD hasn't been $1,400 for a while. It's $1,600 now for an update.

This Office's track record of satisfying clients' needs during difficult times for nearly fifteen (15) years and the numerous positive reviews speak for themselves. These comments, regrettably, do not accurately nor sincerely reflect the representation and the legal counsel which was provided.

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
