Show and prove!

As many have mentioned, the process of finding a lawyer to represent you is challenging. Frank was available on the first call. I did not have to tell my story to convince a paralegal that my case had merit. Frank is a hands-on no-nonsense attorney. I felt confident after our first meeting. He is can...did on the pro and cons and never backs down, as he always looks for opportunities that would strengthen your case. I was pleased with the outcome, given the many loopholes that one must navigate in this sensitive manner. I highly recommend his firm for its expertise and knowledge of the law.

I finally found someone to actually listen to my side of the story!

After talking to so many lawyers who never actually listened to my story. Some of the lawyers that I spoke with wanted money. And that was before I was even able to tell my story. I was starting to feel like I never would find someone who would actually listen to me. But Mr. Allen did just that. ...He took the time to hear me out. He was honest about my situation and some obstacles we had to face. He keep in contact by email or phone about what was happening with my case. He explained the entire process so I was never guessing what the next step would be. I would recommend his firm to anyone looking for a lawyer that actually stands up for what is right. Someone who listens to the underdog! I hope I'm never in this situation again, but if I am I only calling Mr. Allen!

Amazing Lawyer

If you really want a lawyer that'll fight for you and not take any nonsense at all I HIGHLY recommend Frank T. Allen. He makes sure you know everything going on with your case, and tells it how it is instead of sugar coating things. Hes wonderful and I will most def. be recommending him to anyone who... needs an amazing lawyer.

Recommend 10x over!

I contacted Mr. Allen in reference to a liability case with a restaurant. Frank is knowledgeable and was very helpful, he stayed in contact with updates throughout the entire process. Anything I didn't understand, he broke it down to me. He made sure everything was understood, before any paperwork wa...s signed. The case went by very smoothly and we're happy with the results. Our expectations were exceeded, thank you for all your help.

The Best in the Field

Frank is one of the few experts in the fields of discrimination and civil rights who not only knows the law but has a proven track record in court. If you have a complex matter that needs a real trial lawyer, Frank is without a doubt the person to hire. Excellent attorney.
