Melvin L. Allen Jr

Melvin is personable, genuine and family oriented. He will clearly and precisely break down the process for you to understand what is going on within your specific case, communicate important details to you and be alongside you every step of the way. He showed me around the courthouse, introduced m...e to different individuals and made me feel comfortable during such an unfamiliar time. When charges are pending against you, it is serious. Melvin really helped me during my case. Told me not worry and ultimately backed these words up with actions. My charges were dropped. Melvin, understands the legal system beyond the technicalities. It is also about networking and his network is extensive. I am grateful for the second chance he provided me with and I hope anyone reading will consider this.

I retained Mr. Allen when my husband was in jail; he was charged with several serious crimes that could have kept him locked up for the rest of his life. One thing that struck me during the consultation was Mr. Allen’s ability to relate… I could tell this case would not be “just another file” to him,... but he would dig his teeth in and fight as if it were HIS relative’s life on the line. Another thing that impressed me was Mr. Allen’s integrity in keeping his promises… The first being to visit my husband in jail before the weekend was over. Mr. Allen offered me a flat fee upfront, but was available via text if there were any emergencies, critical questions, and various court scheduling de-confliction. Although, the outcome looked bleak, Mr. Allen’s experience, professionalism, skillful negotiation, and much fasting and praying resulted in my husband being placed on house arrest and probation. I am SO grateful my family is still together and happier now than ever! Thank you for all of your hard work and care!

I am only able to write this review because of the choice I made to have Mr Allen represent me. I was charged with a number of very serious charges and I was obviously very skeptical about who was going to serve as my counsel. Mr Allen gained my confidence only seconds into our initial phone consult.... I immediately hired him as my attorney. Mr Allen has the the uncanny ability to make you feel like you are his one and only client. His dedication to his clients, attention to detail and overall legal knowledge are just a few of the characteristics that set him apart from the crowd. Mr Allen is highly respected among his colleagues and peers. He has had a chance to work on both sides of the of law both prosecuting and now defending clients which gives him added credibility and experience. When you are in front of a judge and jury, your guilt or innocence is ultimately going to decided based almost solely on your attorney's ability to effectively present the facts. His poise, ability to read a room, and organizational skills are superb. I trusted Mr Allen with my life and I am here to tell my story because of that choice.
