A very competent lawyer!

Fred was fantastic to deal with during my divorce proceedings. His vast knowledge and past experiences with my type of case mixed with his thoroughness and candor made him a great partner through this entire emotional trying experience. I would highly recommend Fred for anyone going through the same... situation as he will your biggest advocate every step of the way.

A good friend of mine recommended Fred to me and that was all she wrote. Fred helped me with a custody battle. He helped me every step of the way and I was awarded sole legal/physical custody of my kids. I was very very very happy with his service. His fees were reasonable and he also worked with me ...on paying him back. I highly recommend Fred Allentoff for a custody battle for anyone. He is very good at what he does.

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.

A++

Mr. Allentoff made my custody modification process one that was much easier and less stressful then it would have been had I done it on my own. He is very thorough, very helpful, and all around awesome at what he does. The other party and myself were able to come to an agreement that we were both hap...py with and without Mr. Allentoff that would not have happened! Would highly recommend to anyone!
