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.

The perfect choice

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.

Energetic, expert, experienced, honest and honorable counsel

I have known Fred Allentoff for more than 10 years and have no hesitation in recommending him for any case he chooses to accept. Fred has represented me and members of my family, successfully and fairly, more than once. In legal situations, having thorough, energetic and expert counsel is the dif...ference between stressful, sleepless nights and calmer preparedness. This is not just a cliche but my first-hand experience. In a real sense, having expert counsel who will explain the law, the risks and the path forward is a service that is beyond mere professional representation. It is more of a partnership, a steady hand and expert guidance in a storm. I would also like to add that Fred has always been fair and honorable in his dealings with me. There has never been an exception to this. If I could reward Fred beyond our agreement and the deep respect I hold for him, I would do so gladly. If you need legal counsel or representation and Fred agrees to represent you, my experience is that you will have the best advocate and peace of mind that your situation will allow. Thank you, Fred.

Great Advice and Knowledge

One of my relatives suggested Mr. Allentoff to me when they heard I was looking for an attorney to handle my divorce and some other issues. Mr. Allentoff was personable, listened intently and asked the right questions to get the information he needed to assist me. The divorce process is a hard situ...ation to deal with and his excellent representation gave me the confidence and peace I needed to get through this difficult situation.

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!
