Michael Diorio, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 5, 2013
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Allen is a competent and creative trial attorney. I regularly handle cases against him and have great respect for his courtroom skills. He always fights his hardest for his clients and is rarely satisfied. He is well regarded in the criminal law world by attorneys, prosecutors, and judges alike.
Molly Parmer, Criminal defense Attorney on Nov 4, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Allen Yates is smart. But beyond that (and perhaps, more importantly) he is congenial, persuasive, and effective. He's the type of attorney that leaves the courtroom with everyone on his side -- the jury, the opposing counsel, the judge. He's convincing and reliable and works hard to get exceptional results for his clients.

Allen is an outstanding attorney with a brilliant legal mind. I have consulted with Allen on a number of complex cases that I had over the years and have always come away with new theories to explore that I had not thought of. Allen works extremely hard for his clients and they are lucky to have him representing them.
