Got a referral from an online search engine on child support lawyers in Fayetteville, NC. I went with the first name listed. I sent $2,000 for a child support amount reduction case that was a disaster. I paid to fly, rent a car, and hotel to go to court. In court, he didn't know much about divorc...e cases and relied upon my ex-wife's lawyer to get most of the information. He was falling asleep in court while another case was in session. My ex looked around the court and me like is he really falling asleep? I looked at her and I was full of embarrassment as other looked at him as well. I had to drop the case and my ex informed me that she only paid her lawyer $800 while Mr. Allen charged me $1,000. I emailed him about a week after to see if there was any money left that he needed to send me and he informed me that the $2,000 was non-refundable! I would stay away if you're in need of a family lawyer.
