Great practice

Very professional. This office took the time to answer all of my questions during my consultation. I hired her at that moment. Very reasonable pricing and i never had to call for an update. Speeding ticket was taken care of. I highly recommend this practice.

Caso resuelto de una multa de trafico por exceso de velocidad

Una vez que me dieron un ticket por exceso de velocidad, a los dias me llagaron cientos de sobres de abogado para atender mi caso, y llame a la Sra. Jennifer porque habla español y tambien porque su tarifa era una de las mas bajas. Simplemente la llame, me atendio de una vez, solo hable con ella una ...sola vez, y listo, caso resuelto, no tuve que ir a corte, ya que ella se encargo de todo y logro reducir la citación a Equipo inapropiado, una violación que no se mueve y que no dará puntos en mi licencia y seguro.

Results I could have achieved without representation.

Jennifer Allen Law represented me in a speeding case in Durham County. The end result was a 'prayer for judgment' that could have been achieved without representation. The ticket has and will remain on my record for three years, adversely affecting my insurance premiums. I cannot recommend Jennifer A...len Law for representation and consider her conduct unprofessional.

Dear Client, I am sorry you were not happy with the outcome, but I think perhaps I can help. The Prayer for Judgment Continued actually gives you zero license or insurance points. Your insurance will not be adversely affected by this judgment, which is the reason I asked the Judge for it. The Judge does not have to grant it, so it is not a guaranteed outcome. Please contact me directly at [email protected] so that I can resolve this for you.

Continuance again and again

I hired Jennifer Allen to represent me in court for a simple speeding ticket. She continued my case three times. Although she sent me an email once each time that this was done (form email) I received no other communication. I emailed and called the office several times without returned communicatio...n asking why the case was continued. This was a five month process. I think this was a bit strange. Improved communication from her office would have been helpful.

I am sorry you were disappointed with my representation - I strive for 100% client satisfaction. Thank you for the feedback and we have worked to improve our communication. It is very common and normal for even traffic tickets to be continued, even more than once, and that does not have a negative impact on the outcome of the case. Often I continue them to get a better outcome, or there isn't enough time for the case to be heard, or other reasons.

Excellent representation in court!!!

Attorney Jennifer Allen did an exceptional job with my case earlier this month. When I was searching for a lawyer for my case I was able to get the correct guidance in regards to getting my case dismissed. From initial contact the communication was timely and thorough. The costs were laid out and all... fairly assessed in the end. I am so glad I chose her law firm to represent me in traffic court. I highly recommend the Jennifer Allen law firm to anyone. Chris

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.
