Allen Brotherton is the BEST Attorney in town - Hands down!

Being my first experience with any form of traffic violation in 30 years of Driving - I was fearful of what would happen with a DUI and reckless Op. I felt I had to get the best representation available and was referred to Allen by a previous client with a similar experience. I also had names from ...friends of three other reputable Attorneys. I sat down with Allen, discussed the case, met with Sherry his Paralegal - and needless to say - I had no interest in visiting with the other attorneys and hired him on the spot. There is absolutely no reason to shop around when it comes to something this serious. His knowledge and expertise is amazing, he treats you like a person and not a criminal, is incredibly professional and compassionate. Between he and his staff (Sherry) - they always kept me up to date and guided me every step of the process. My case was closed and now working on the expunging process. I can not thank Allen and Sherry enough for their efforts - All cases are different and some more tricky (like mine) and there are no guarantees - but I always knew that Allen would give me the best shot of anyone - in handling it properly!!!! Thank you!

Professional, Thorough, Compassionate

Represented me for a DUI in Mecklenburg county. From beginning to end, extremely professional and thorough and always kept me informed as to strategy and was very realistic about my chances. Extremely tough case with at best 50/50 chance to win. He and Sherry put me at ease during this difficult t...ime and never promised anything except their pledge to put forth the best effort possible, which they clearly did. Not only was my DUI dismissed but Allen was also able to get my Reckless Driving charge dismissed and my speeding charge reduced! Wow, far exceeded my expectations. DUI's never easy in Mecklenburg, having an attorney of Allen's caliber is definitely a must. Not only did he have superior knowledge of the intricacies of DUI defense but he clearly understood that sometimes bad things happen to good people and never made me feel a lesser person for having been charged. I can't say enough about how well he represented me. Allen and Sherry are not merely the best choice, but in my opinion, THE ONLY CHOICE! Grateful and more than happy to have Allen on my side should I ever need his services again. Please do yourself a favor should you be in need and hire the best, a decision you won't regret. Guaranteed

DWI

I hired Allen after being charged with a DWI. I had read great reviews and heard great things about him. I was nervous about my case because I blew 2x the legal limit and just knew it all woudn't be over with and put behind me for atleast 6 months or longer. I got my DWI nov and on the very second co...urt date, Allen got it dismissed!! He and his paralegal, Sherry, are amazing. Any questions i had was answered and I was never left out of the loop. They are a great team and would recommend Allen 100%.

Speeding Ticket on I485

I was SO very fortunate to find Allen Brotherton. In mid Oct. 2012, I was speeding down I485 (83/65) to my Vet in Matthews because my mind (& driving!) was on my seriously ill dog. I apologized profusely to the State Patrolman and explained why I was in a hurry - even offered to show him why, as my... dog was laying in the back area of my van. He was polite and quickly processed the ticket, explaining I would have to appear in Charlotte/Meck court. Allen was able to attend court for me in Charlotte & have it totally dismissed with no insurance or license points assigned (I do have a very clean driving record). I have great respect for Allen as he helped me during a terrible time for me personally as I later lost my beloved pet. Allen took my case very seriously and gave it his full attention. His legal assisstant, Sherry, was very thorough and informative - timely in all her correspondence. I believe he charged fairly too. Allen had been referred to me by a friend who also found his services uncomparable. I can now see why, and I agree.

Lake Norman-Cornelius Super Review

Allen was able to help us with our 18yr old that had drug and speeding tickets in the Lake Norman area. We felt he helped us get this kid into therapy and work out a path that resulted in no jailtime and no damage to his record for college. I would highly reccommed Sherrie and Allen, they know the s...ystem and acted with paticence and performed execellant negociating skills in getting the charges reduced.
