Child Custody

Mr. Allentoff is great at what he does. He made me feel comfortable from the day we had a consult until the end of the case. Very understanding when it comes to payment, willing to work with you. I would definitely recommend him to anyone I know.

Thank you Fred

Prepared Last Wills for my wife and me. We went to Fred Allentoff because of our years of past experience with him. He is competent, honorable, and the best lawyer I've ever worked with.

Competent, thorough, and efficient

Fred explained my options and was upfront through the entire process. His thorough knowledge of the law in my matter made for a wonderful outcome for me. I wish I had come to him first and saved myself a lot of stress and time!

Excellent Service from Fred Allentoff

I have been very impressed and pleased with the services from Fred. I have used him on two separate occasions and he has walked me through each process thoroughly and with extreme professionalism. I would be pleased to recommend Fred and will use his services again the future.

My Experience with Mr. Allentoff

Mr. Allentoff handled my divorce case recently. I found him to be accessible and prompt with communications. He met all the timelines required to finish my case as soon as the speed, or lack of, the Baltimore City Court system allowed. He was also pleasant and professional.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
