Fred Allentoff

First, I would like to say that I rarely do reviews on social media, but I am motivated in this case. Finding myself facing a divorce, I didn't know who to call. I got a strong recommendation to see Fred. We talked first on the phone and then I came in for an initial consult. I figured if it didn...'t feel right, I could move on to someone else. Fred made me feel comfortable because he gave me his undivided attention during our meeting. He also had lots of questions and took detailed notes. Leaving, I felt I had the right person for the job. That day and all our conversations that followed, he always took time to explain things as clearly as possible. He always told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. He also considered my input before moving forward at each step. I also never felt rushed or got the short shrift during any of our phone or in person meetings. Divorce, even in less complicated cases like mine (no kids, etc.), is a multi-step journey. So it is important that you feel that this person is experienced, gives good advice, is attentive to detail, and sees the big picture. Fred was all of that. The other thing is that I never felt that he was running up his billable time. Things take the time they do and he always billed me appropriately. So that also gave me peace of mind. In the end, we got a result that I was happy with and could live with. Fred Allentoff did an excellent job on my behalf! I recommend him without reservation.

Mr. Allentoff reviewed a will I had put together from a template and recommended changes after face to face consultation. The entire process of completing will and associated documents and filing them with the county (Power of Attorney and Medical) took less than a month. Excellent responsiveness for... questions and process.

Excellent outcome of a very difficult situation. Took me years to find a lawyer that I was comfortable with to get me through a complicated divorce. He has the perfect balance of knowledge, experience and compassion that got me through one of the most difficult times of my life. I highly recommend th...at you give him a call if you are in need of legal counsel.

It was an incredibly stressful period in my life, as it is for most of us who are seeking out a lawyer for this purpose. So, your choice of a lawyer matters greatly. Fred played a critical role in legally informing me, every step of the way, while personally providing piece of mind. He was responsive..., diligent, caring, and knowledgeable. He was invested and engaged. I didn't feel like "just another client"; he had my best interest at heart. It has been 11+ years since then and I still feel the same -- every interaction has confirmed, and deepened, my respect. It made all the difference to work with Fred Allentoff.

Fred helped guide and advise me thru a divorce, child support and custody modifications. Fred was very knowledgeable and walked me thru these processes to ensure that I was fully aware of what was going on and that I was making the correct decisions though out these proceedings. He is a trustworthy g...uide that got me thru some of the toughest times in my life. It is unfortunate to be going thru a divorce and custody cases, I am blessed to have Fred walk me thru to a better place for me and my family.
