Review Allen Bodiford

I couldn't have hired a better Law Firm! Bodiford Law

Posted by

Mr. Bodiford and his "Team" are the "Best of the Best" and there is nobody in "Henry County Georgia" that can protect you more than Mr. Bodiford and his "ACE TEAM". From start to finish, it is all FACT BASED, they are very intelligent, informative, and have strong backbones. They are truly Professional. You are in good hands once you have the Bodiford Team in your corner. If I would have hired "ANYONE" else, things would have "FOR SURE" turned out with a different outcome than the one that I got. Best Divorce Attorney in Henry County Georgia! Hands down. Mr. Bodiford is like having "SUPERMAN" as an Attorney!

Excellent Divorce Attorney

Posted by

If you're looking for a Top Notch Divorce Attorney , then look no further! Mr. Bodiford knows the law, and will fight for you til the very end. He's a "True Trial" attorney!!! If I could mark 6 Stars I would. He's a straight shooter, so expect to here the truth, and not some hype to get your money. Plus, he's the only attorney that would speak to me about my case before coming into the office; and he's affordable! His team is knowledgeable and friendly (Thanks Julie & Kaitlyn for everything!), plus they keep you informed and on track with submitting all the necessary paperwork. Now, don't think this is some magic show. You have to get them all the necessary information and be honest with what's happening. If you do your part, you can relax and let them do theirs. Bottom line... "For Anything Family Law", I give them my highest approval (and I'm not easily impressed), and will definitely send my family and friends their way. Thanks For Everything!!!

Worth every penny spent. He is a very honest and up front attorney that does not just tell you what you want to hear. He fought hard to win our case and did an amazing job presenting the evidence and our claims in court. He not only adequately prepared me but was thorough and tough. Mr. Bodiford fought for our family and constantly made me feel at ease during the process. His expertise is unmatched.

Always professional leaves no stone unturned

Mr Bodiford fought a two year long divorce for me. What I liked about Mr Bodiford was he always returned calls and kept me real time updated on motions and discovery findings.By far the most courteous and professional law firm I have ever dealt with. Mr Bodiford’s staff is second to none! He won my case and has been helpful post divorce.I highly recommend Mr Bodiford’s law firm.

Professional and prepared

Mr. Bodiford took the time to understand my situation. As a blue collar guy, I needed a lawyer who could navigate me through a tough custody situation. I was able to consult with Mr. Bodiford on Saturday mornings leading up to my court date. Mr. Bodiford and his partner Lauren Taylor both represented me in court and teamed up to get the results we were seeking.

Honest and willing

Posted by

I was recommended to Mr. Allen by a judge when I was falsely accused of a crime. He heard my side of the story, he was completely honest with me. He told me not worry about anything and he would handle it. And he has been handiling it as a true professional. He gives me constant updates to the situation, and is honest about everything. He doesn't guarantee anything but he will tell you your odds. I love how upfront he his, and his prices are fair. If you're looking for a #1 attorney choose Allen. You get what you pay for and he is worth it.

Allen Bodiford is an extremely conscientious attorney and because of his wisdom and experience he won my case. He provided a realistic strategy, timeline, and expense – then proved he was right! This is the kind of attorney you can hire and rely on him to get the job done. I got out of his way and he did the rest – which was outstanding! His work is meticulous, error-free, and legally sound. He has a legal staff that produces flawless documents with a true sense of urgency. The timeliness of their actions prove they are professional, dedicated, and reliable. Allen Bodiford has a straight-forward approach that is refreshing. His matter-of-fact delivery gets to the core of the facts and he keeps an ethical eye on the legal fee meter to help his clients avoid costly, no value added actions. Mr. Bodiford is highly intelligent and has a solutions based style. He respects the other legal entities in his community and speaks about each one with appropriate professional courtesy. This attorney brings respectability back to the legal field. He manages a first-class law office and I am deeply grateful for his help. I highly recommend this attorney!

Recommendation

Posted by

I would like to take a moment to provide a recommendation for a wonderful attorney and his entire team. Mr. Allen Bodiford and his entire team are the most outstanding proficient group of business individuals that I have ever dealt with, and having worked for AT&T for 35 years I am familiar with what good service is all about. Mr. Bodiford is a brilliant, experienced, knowledgeable attorney. His support staff is prompt, accurate, and timely in every action needed for you and your individual needs. Mr. Bodiford’s firm is a personal group, and you do not feel like just another client. Everyone at the firm is familiar with your particular needs and situation. They answer the phone, they respond quickly, and you never have to wait very long for a personal response. Mr. Bodiford is not a therapist he is an attorney. He is tough, but I needed tough. He would not allow me feel sorry for myself. He helped me to stand up when I didn’t know if I could. He gave me stern direction when I needed it, and a guiding hand through-out the entire process. He didn’t allow me to give up, but encouraged me to fight! If you need legal expertise, and you want to win and have support along the entire journey Mr. Allen Bodiford and his team is the group you MUST choose. I am more than willing to provide testimony to anyone anywhere about my experience with the Bodiford team.

Allen Bodiford Law Firm .... When you need an Honest and Competant Attorney

Posted by

Mr. Bodiford is not just a lawyer, he is an ethical and honest Attorney. I have so many good things to say about him that they will not fit in this space. But here is what you need to know. 1. He is honest. 2. He will have your back and take care of business 3. He will not mince words, and give you an honest at straight forward evaluation of your situation. This Attorney was actually recommended to me by another attorney as being one of the very best. I agree. If ever (God forbid) I need another attorney, I will go RUNNING to Mr. Bodiford. Nothing but admiration and respect for him.

Best Attorney in Georgia

Posted by

Unfortunately I’ve had more experience with law firms than I ever thought I would. None of them have been very pleasant until I met Allen Bodiford, Lauren Taylor and their team. They are BY FAR the best people I have ever worked with on legal matters. Absolutely THE BEST. They and their staff (Allen, Lauren, Julie & Kaitlyn) are all honest, ethical, professionals. Looking for a law firm, is like walking through an area covered with land mines. You can't be too careful. Allen and Lauren know what they doing. They will discuss your case with you and tell you what to expect. They charge a fair amount and they’re not looking for ways to run up your cost. They know what it takes to win cases and they don’t do unnecessary legal proceedings. I vigorously challenge ANY negative reviews on any web site about this team. They’re the best you are going to find, and a real credit to the profession. I will never use anyone else for legal matters they can handle.

Allen and I have crossed swords on many occasions in court. He is tenacious and a strong, almost stubborn, advocate for his clients. He is a true fighter and works hard to get results for his clients.
