This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great for Estate Planning

We did estate planning (a last will and testament and financial and medical powers of attorney) with Mr. Steele. His consistent advice was that we choose fiduciaries that we completely trust, and he embodied his own advice by being trustworthy in the sense that he reviewed things we had not thought o...f (such as validity of the will when we are overseas) and really took our specific situation into account to make sure all our wishes were met, including type of burial. Most of all, Allen is extremely friendly and easy to talk to which is not the case with all lawyers. Thank you.

Outstanding results

Mr. Steele was professional and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain what was going on and how the case would be handled. We won.

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.
