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.

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.

Excellent Attorney

I met Fred in 2008, he came highly recommended to me. I have been working with Fred on and off since that time. He has handled my divorce and child support hearings. I have always felt confident with Fred's recommendations. Fred is trustworthy and tells his clients what they need to know. I have bee...n very pleased with the outcome of my cases and would not hesitate to use his services again. GREAT ATTORNEY

The most professional attorney with compassion and understanding

Fred assisted my family matters with care and a great deal of compassion. The star rating system is to low to describe how wonderful he treated all of us. We would highly recommend his services. Fred is your man if you need any legal assistance. He is always there for you, and he really cares.

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.
