Unresponsive

Unresponsive; called Allan three times (over five days) and left messages; asked him to let me know one way or another (if he could handle my case); didn’t even get a courtesy call back; I’ll be following back up with the Alabama State Bar Association to let them know he doesn’t return phone calls.

Highly recommended!

Attorney Armstrong answered my question in a timely manner and also answered follow up questions I had to help me gain a little more clarity about my case.

Super Star

To be honest, I hate lawyers. They have never done anything for me. You pay them and they get done nothing more than what you could have done yourself and in some cases do. Dealing with Allan though was a completely different experience. He knew I was in my last semester of college and that I didn't ...have much time to actually do any heavy lifting. He worked around my schedule and made sure I knew about appointments weeks in advance. He never made me feel bad about not being able to get him what he needed right away and went and worked on a different aspect of the case, patiently waiting for my response. He always made sure I was up to date on all the information. In the end he won my case, but he is not stopping there. He took that as there are more people who need his help and has been diligently working on their cases. I really can't say enough about him. He really is a super star!!

Fantastic service & professionalism

I was very impressed with my "total experience" with my attorney Allan Armstrong. I had exceptional and fast results. Outstanding work ethic demonstrated throughout the process and a very satisfying final outcome. Mr. Armstrong was very prompt in all correspondence and kept me informed every step... of the way. I felt valued, respected and his professionalism, humanity and understanding was outstanding!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
