Amazing Advice

Excellent experience. I feel so much better about my case. Mr. Reuter had just a general overview of my case but gave specific and highly applicable information in easy-to-understand language. He made me feel comfortable in a scary situation.

Successful results in complicated land use case

Allen took a complicated land use case for 19 of us. He took this case on short notice, worked it through the court system and got us a favorable resolution. He put a tremendous amount of time and effort on this case and billed what I consider a reasonable amount for the time. I would use him aga...in.

Alan took on our group case against the town, at the 11th hour. Not only is that an accomplishment in itself, but we won! He didn't stop at the first decision, he took us through the appeal process, at the state level--all done in a very professional way. He communicated on a regular basis and exp...lained in detail everything. I would most definitely use him again.

Extremely knowledgeable and experienced law firm, specifically Allen Reuter for our case.

Cannot say enough about the knowledge of Allen Reuter and his firm. I had an extremely complicated 7+ year old case on land use in the Court system, and Allen was able to help us prevail. I had nineteen other land owners besides me win because of him and his knowledge of previous Case Law too. ... He came highly recommended by a friend and his experience is second to none. I can attest as I also work as a contracted agent for municipalities and understand many complex situations I have been involved with. I have needed representation in the past in similar situations, and when it comes to municipal law and land use as it did in this case, Allen was incredible. We clicked from the start, and he did a really great job in communicating throughout this case I was involved with. The first two firms I interviewed for the case got confused really quickly. Had I not known of or hired Allen, we for sure would have lost our case. He was brilliant. It was a life-changer.
