No one expects to beat a DUI charge in Mecklenburg county. When I first met with Allen, we brought to his attention that the jail had listed me under two different names which led to a confusion with paperwork and a delay in me getting out after my bond was posted. He used this as the crux of our arg...ument to have the charges dismissed. In the courtroom he was amazing, picking apart the jail record keeping processes and showing the judge that there are truly problems with the system. He was affable and made his argument very clear while questioning the State witnesses without attacking them. The judge agreed with his argument and granted the Motion to Dismiss. The professionalism of Allen and his paralegal Sherry are unparalleled and I would absolutely recommend Allen to anyone I know who is facing a criminal charge!

My wife was charged with DWI. We had a face to face interview with three different potential lawyers. All three had completely different approaches on how to handle our case. Allen was considerably more expensive than the other two....but at the end of the day my wife had a good feeling about him. Al...len reviewed our case on initial contact and determined exactly the approach he would take. He never once over promised anything. He was not pushy and gave us different choices and options along the way. In the end Allen way over delivered and he ended up being the cheapest money we ever spent. He stuck to his original plan from day one and won our case. If we had lost .....I would still feel that he was worth what he charged. My opinion of lawyers has totally changed from my interactions with Allen. Two other things of note. First, he never made my wife feel ashamed of herself for what happened. Second, Allen was referred to us from a friend who basically told me what eventually came to pass....that he was a good man and a great lawyer. We were not paid to write this review. We are just calling it like it was. Thanks Allen for a job well done.

Initially I hired a different lawyer and paid the retainer fee. I was then recommended to Allen Brotherton by a friend who had used him for different circumstance and was referred to him by someone else. I thought nothing of it until his name came up three more times by three different people within ...that same week. They had used his services for same situation as I was in and he had won all three cases and they could not say enough good things about him. I quickly made an appointment and after consulting with him, retained his services so I then had to call the original lawyer I had hired and cancelled (for a fee). I chose Allen to represent me for my DWI based on his success rate and knowledge of the laws surrounding such a case. Allen and Sherry Krump (Allen’s paralegal who is great) were absolutely wonderful to work with and very professional. I am extremely pleased with the decision I made to switch to Allen and I know that there is not one other lawyer out there that could have gotten me the judgement he was able to get based on the facts. I strongly recommend Allen to anyone that is requiring legal services. Do not even hesitate for one second. Start with the best and you will not have to second guess your decision like I did after retaining my first lawyer. Good luck!

Initially I was recommended to Allen Brotherton by a coworker who was also in a similar situation as myself. Prior to meeting with Allen I was also recommended to him by a few other acquaintances whom had also had positive experiences. I chose Allen to represent me for my DWI based on his success rat...e, professionalism, and knowledge of the law. Allen and Sherry Krump (Allen’s paralegal) were both extremely helpful and professional from beginning to end. They kept me informed throughout the process and responded quickly and efficiently to any question or concern that I had. I strongly recommend Allen to those whom may need his services.
