A game changer.

I had a very complicated and messy divorce/custody battle. Fred was there every step of the way for me , he was available 24/7 & had the best step by step advice and susuggestions. Was patient in explaing all potential outcomes and scenarios&made sure I understood everything. And always extremely wa...rm and kind. I received the best possible judgment on my case I could hope for,and I sleep like a baby every night knowing my daughter is safe,sound & sees me all the time. I could'nt be more happy with what he did for me and my family. Words will never describe my appretiation for him. But I get to live a free and happy life every day because of it. Thank you Fred.

Child Custody

Attorney Allentoff is a true professional. I actually have a piece of mind knowing that I had the best representation possible. He kept me informed on every single detail of my case at all times. The communication exceeded my expectations. It was an absolute blessing to have had him in my corner. He ...actually cares about his clients. This makes the world of a difference when you're fighting a case involving your child. I am forever grateful for Mr. Allentoff.

Will and associated documents

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.

Made All the Difference

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.

best of the best

Fred Allentoff helped us in a custody/support modification with my x-wife. He was thorough and well prepared also made sure I was prepared when the trial day arrived. He kept in constant contact with us and made sure we understood every step of the process. Fred made sure I was treated fairly and I w...as awarded everything we asked for and we could not have been more satisfied with his services. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know, he takes on every case as if it is his own and it becommes personal to him, he will fight for his clients and get what's rightfully due. hands down the best of the best!
