Review of Allen Orenberg

Allen was quite helpful to my family when faced with a legal matter. He was courteous, professional, understanding, and knew quite a bit on the subject matter at hand. My first stop when faced with any entanglement with the law, or just a question would be Allen Orenberg. In the instance that he can... not handle the problem, he will direct you to the appropriate person. I would highly recommend Allen as your personal attorney. He knows his way around both the Montgomery court system, as well as the DC court. He will work very hard for you, providing all your options, and give you honest answers. We could not ask for anything more. Thank you, Allen, and keep up the good work!

Help from Allen Orenberg

I was scared, embarrassed and mad that I was stopped and issued a DUI. My first! I didn't know what to do and a friend suggested I call Mr Orenberg. First of all, he made me feel so much better by calming me down and explaining the process of what happened, how I reacted and what my choices were. He ...explained what would happen in court, instructed me on my comments and behavior in that situation and told me we would get thru it. It was not something I am proud of and I never wish to do it again, but I am happy my lawyer was able to give me the hand holding I needed and get my case resolved without major damage. I am very grateful to Mr. Orenberg for that.

Champion Criminal Defender & General Practioner

The Honorable Allen Orenberg has over 30 years of criminal law experience; being a sole practitioner allows him to give personal, direct and expert service in a timely and professional manner; unlike the large firms. I have had the privilege of knowing Mr. Orenberg since our college days and appre...ciate his due diligence and eye for the details of a case or situation. I whole-heartily recommend Allen for all of your criminal and small business legal needs. Mr. Orenberg is licensed in Maryland, Virginia, DC and Pennsylvania; which provides you with a broad range of jurisdictional expertise.

  • 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.
