Attorney Review

Attorney Wynter Allen represented me in an employment termination, retaliation and discrimination case. She was always polite and professional. She is extremely knowledgeable in the area of employment law. Her rates were fair, and the time spent on my case efficient. I was kept updated on all hap...penings in my case. She attained a successful outcome (reinstatement with backpay) for me in a case involving a federal agency. Bottom line she is an excellent attorney, always takes the high road, and I would highly recommend her to those with labor and employment issues.

The best attorney

I have never had a person fight so hard for me in my life, except my parents. Wynter is smart, resilient, determined, strategic, uncompromising and honest. I couldn’t ask for a better attorney. She truly cares for her clients and I am grateful to know her. She gives it her ALL!

Excellent Firm

I worked with the Alden firm with Ms. Allen being my primary attorney. She represented me in a case that involved failure to promote in a large Federal agency. It was a 3 year case. She kept me informed and very responsive and the bottom line I won my case.

Overpriced and weak.

Did not grasp what were important/critical parts of the case. Did not use anything from depositions at trial. Most of what the defense testified to went unchallenged even though the defense lacked documentation. All of the critical points that I raised and provided support/docs for and she ignored we...re hammered on in the losing decision. Rambled on at trial and did not gain traction on most points. Plaintiff could not even follow counsel. Did not present clearly or effectively.

I strive to provide outstanding representation and I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed. We advise our clients that litigation is uncertain. We are always honest with our clients about what to expect when moving through the hearing process. We always ask for feedback from our clients during representation and we strive to fix and address any issues a client might express during representation. It is heartbreaking when a client loses their case. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Outstanding and Caring Professional Services

I am a former client of Wynter Allen and I was extremely pleased with her legal representation. During the 4 years that Wynter and the Alden Law firm represented me, I received exemplary legal services. From the initial consultation she listened and advised me on the relevant laws pertaining to my ...case and the options that were available to me. She is a smart, dedicated advocate and I was secure knowing that she represented my best interests. Her extensive knowledge of the law provided me with the peace of mind that she was always prepared. She was respectful and caring. Because of her hard work, we successfully reached a successful resolution. I would definitely call Wynter and highly recommend her to anyone in need of an Employment Law attorney.
