My Dad’s unfortunate situation

It is with great pleasure that I express my appreciation for S T Allen law! Just a quick summation of my father’s case. Attorney Allen was able to get my Dad’s case reduced to a misdemeanor & given the evidence that the State had against my father we are extremely pleased with the outcome of his case..., which lasted an entire year. Attorney Allen was with us the entire time, never missed a court appearance & kept us informed and most of all didn’t give us false hope about how the case would go. Attorney Allen was truthful & accommodating to our needs & let me tell you my Dad is 80 yrs old so he can be a little impatient at times. So if you need a extremely competent & reasonably priced Attorney, then look no further that S T Allen law!

Praying Mom

My son found himself in some legal trouble. I was referred to Mr. Allen by a family member. He said “Attorney Allen will take care of you”. I was a nervous wreck thinking my 18yo son would be swallowed up by the criminal justice system due to his lapse of judgement. Mr. Allen was communicative via ph...one, text, and email. His assistant emailed and called to remind us of every court date. He was upfront and honest about the potential outcome. I would definitely recommend Attorney Allen to anyone in need of legal services.

Professional, Reliable Defense Attorney

Despite my issue having started just prior to COVID, Shay stuck with me for the nearly 3 years it took to resolve my case with a not guilty verdict. He did all this without adding fees for the many additional appearances that were required due to COVID delays. The trial was handled very professiona...lly and had the desired outcome. I would highly recommend Shay for your legal defense needs.

Would recommend!

Shay was always there for us. I was dealing with a domestic violence charge with NO priors. Nightmare that this went this far, but with Shay's represention was eventually resolved as case dismissed. Shay was always available, present, knowledgeable and is experienced. Thank goodness we had him on ou...r side.

Real, Honest, and Dependable

From day 1, Mr. Allen has been very real and honest with me. I needed his services for a very serious offense, and based on recommendations from many others, I decided to go with him. I was nervous and scared about the entire situation, but he took the time to go over my case, provide me with a plan,... and handle it very professionally. I never had to chase him down about a question or concern. He always remains cool, calm, and collected, which is something I admire about this gentleman. I would recommend Mr. Allen in a heartbeat to anyone needing legal services.
