Posted by Mark | May 02, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Super Attorney and Gentleman

I could not have asked for better representation. I hired Mr. Allen after I had complicated my divorce case by following some bad advice from another attorney. Mr. Allen made a succinct assessment of my situation and clearly explained my options moving forward with the case. The case very was compl...icated and took over three and half years to conclude. Mr. Allen’s professionalism and dedication during this endeavor are to be commended. He continued to press the case forward when repeated attempts at mediation failed due to my uncooperative former spouse’s attempts to delay the case. Mr. Allen left no stone unturned in gathering evidence in the case. He poured through a mountain of records that were allowed into evidence at the last minute during my divorce trail. I think this was the key to the positive outcome of my case and I greatly appreciate his efforts in spending the extra time analyzing the information to better support the facts in the case. Mr. Allen is an honest and trustworthy gentleman that treats everyone with respect. Ms. Mumford was also very instrumental in keeping the records organized and keeping me on track. I have and will continue to recommend Mr. Allen to others that may need his services.

I contacted Lee Allen for a consultation during my separation. Lee helped make a very difficult time in my life much easier. He answered all my questions in a very professional manner and gave me reliable advice and suggestions. I would recommend Lee Allen for to anyone that needs help with their ...divorce or child custody issues.

Thank GOD for Mr. Allen!

When my sons mother attempted to limit my time with him, Mr. Allen took my case and precided to get me a greater custody arrangement than I ever thought was possible. From the beginning Mr. Allen was up front and told me the possible good or bad outcomes. Through out the process; before and after t...he trial, he gave me extensive legal advise whenever I needed. He was prompt to return all my calls and answer any questions I had. God Bless Mr. Allen and Colombo Kitchin Attorneys. They will be the firm I choose for any of my legal needs.

Professional, confident, focused, understanding and determined to win.

Mr Allen listened carefully to my requests at the beginning of the process. He asked me specific questions to define what outcome I desired. He then explained what I should expect based on the law. He outlined a plan of action to reach my goals. I had Private Investigators involved and he incorporate...d their findings into our case. I was able to obtain a Divorce with reasonable Child Support, Child Custody and division of assets. But most importantly, due to the circumstances of my case, I was able to avoid paying Alimony. There were reasonable expectations defined by Mr Allen and he kept me extremely well informed each step of the way. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Allen with the utmost of confidence.

Lee Allen is a very logical debater. He constructs his arguments based in nuances of the law and detailed knowledge of the case itself. He is very responsive via email, and his staff is as well. Excellent attorney.
