David Frederick Allen

As someone who has previously written a review on Mr Allen, I’ve noticed my initial review had been deleted. He was a mess and I hate to say it. He drug out my case for the longest of times. I had to hire two separate attorneys who both couldn’t believe his lack of action and urgency in a child custo...dy case. They were in shock going over the lack of effort. It was as if he could care less. He was horrible at responding to emails. He would never update you on anything. After dropping him and going with other legal help my case was done in under a month. I never realized how having a responsive attorney can give you a peace of mind and Mr. Allen lacked that. Call me crazy, but I’d like my attorney to keep me updated with my case instead of sit it on the back burners for months on end. I unfortunately recommended him to two other people who hired him and they both had same experience as I did. I feel terrible for the referral. These cases are important and deserve attention.

Wow, I read a previous review and was surprised to see someone’s review almost match my feelings exactly. I wish I reviewed this site before hiring Mr. Allen. I too felt like he was more concerned about convincing me to settle and I most DEFINITELY felt like I was being tag-teamed by him and opposin...g counsel! I knew it was time to move on when the opposing counsel made reference of me being uncooperative because I went against my attorney’s advice that he NEVER gave me and especially when he told me he would read my comments to the proposed plan the day before mediation and I quote “this is how it works.” He did not keep me informed unless I contacted him or scheduled a meeting with him and I definitely lost trust in him. To top it off he provided me with the wrong financial affidavit form which I completed and now have to redo because my new lawyer pointed out that it was the incorrect form (either not knowledgeable or didn’t pay attention)! I feel I wasted my time and money and lost ground on my case as a result. I do not recommend him for a child support child custody matter. On a personal level, however, he seemed pleasant.

I had a complicated custody issue that involved restoration of my rights. I was in one state and my child was in another. I found Mr. Allen through several google searches and talking with several attorneys. After explaining my issue to Mr. Allen he agreed to take my case even though I was 700 mi...les away, and we never met in person. Even though there was quite a bit of distance between my lawyer and his team I felt like I was right next door. Communication was excellent; his team of paralegals far surpasses the knowledge of many attorneys in the field of child custody. Mr. Allen took the time to listen to my needs and went above and beyond to do what he could for me and my case. As far as I am concerned The Allen Law Office is the best of the best, and demonstrates empathy and compassion during the most stressful situations. Mr. Allen and his team truly provide the best representation that even money cannot buy.
