A great legal force to have on your side

I have to say that I felt very confident moving forward with my real estate case knowing that Mr. Rasheed Allen was representing me. He is a very knowledgeable and experienced attorney and he has tremendous insight into how to deal with legal situations concerning corporations. He has effectively he...lped me deal with the legal demands of my case. He provided excellent legal advice and he presented all the facts so I can make proper decisions moving forward. He is very understanding of my legal situation revolving the case- My case is resolved now. I most certainly would reach out to him in case there are further legal help I may require.

Great Attorney

My family and I came to Mr. Allen June 2014 for a legal matter dealing with our home and other matters, he was very professional and very knowledgeable about everything we asked him about and he also kept us informed on every outcome and dates on our case. Mr. Allen is a sharp and spontaneous individ...ual who doesn't mind going that extra mile to help you in anyway he can. We recommend him to the fullest.

Trustworthy counsel

Rasheed and his team do an excellent job preparing our contracts and advising us on business legal matters. He has consistently and effectively helped me meet the legal demands of our rapidly expanding company over the past four years. Rasheed is an invaluable part of our team!

Excellent Corporate Lawyer

Attorney Allen has served as interim Legal Deputy Director for ORACL since September 2013. He has helped our organization in so many ways: incorporating our non-profit, legal and non-legal document writing, serving as Secretary on our Board of Directors, settling a dispute with an outside vendor, an...d, of course, providing us with excellent legal advice. If you're a small start-up looking for an excellent corporate lawyer, for a reasonable fee. Look no further.

Rasheed gives you exactly what you need- clarity, character and has your best interest in mind!

I reached out to Rasheed a few weeks ago regarding some legal documents involving my father's trust/estate distribution process. He was very helpful in clearing up/ explaining some legal language in the documents (prepared by my dad's estate attorney) that a few beneficiaries were uncertain with and ...did not want to sign until Rasheed clarified what the documents meant. He also was very helpful with several suggestions regarding the process and the contact w/ beneficiaries. This is the second time I have reached out to him in this process. About a year ago, when my dad past away Rasheed was helpful in advising me about the Payable on Death savings account my dad left behind. Moving forward, I feel beyond confident that Rasheed has my best interest in mind when it comes to my legal matters and I plan on using him as my attorney in the years to come.
