Consummate Professional

I found Fred Allentoff in an online search while beginning divorce proceedings. The reviews you see on his page are an amazing tribute to his talent, his compassion, and the skills he employs advocating his client's interests. I agree with them all. Moreover, Mr. Allentoff was very reasonable, given... the experience and knowledge of the judicial system he brings to the table. Occasionally, when I had climbed on a self imposed ledge, he would calmly talk me down from it. Knowing how slowly the wheels can turn in divorce proceedings, he kindly helped me exercise patience and keep a positive attitude and confidence that justice and fairness would prevail. It did.

Professionalism at it's very BEST!

Mr. Allentoff was referred by a friend and I am extremely glad that he was my lawyer! What started as a simple uncontested divorce pre-Covid-19 is now finally complete and Fred was the perfect man for the job. Always available and on top of everything, I enjoyed our easy e-mail correspondence. Fred... is a very down to earth guy who actually cares about the people he represents. He is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Best at what he does

I was referred to Mr. Allentoff by a friend of mine and my skepticism was already in place seeing that I had already been to four other lawyers whom had told me that getting an divorce or getting back the home that was mine was out of the question because once I was married it was my spouses home as ...well. After 15 minutes I knew I had to hire this LAWYER. I left his office knowing more about my rights and what the law states and he was willing to stand up to the law and anyone else that would refute the law. He will educate you on what you can do and gives you the tools to make the best decision for your situation. You can't go wrong with this choice.

Amended SC Birth Certificate

I would like to extend a grand thank you and applaud the professional manner, expertise, and legal knowledge you employed in helping me to accomplish my objective regarding my amended birth certificate. The manner with which you handled the entire process was exemplary. In lieu of the many hurdles yo...u encountered, you continued with dedication and commitment in handling this case. Once again, thank you much.

Extremely Professional

Mr. Allentoff was very professional. He was responsive and mindful of my situation and what we needed to deal with in the course of the proceedings. He was proactive so I was prepared for what was going to happen next and how to best respond to the situation. I would absolutely recommend him!

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.
