Top Tier Services

I highly recommend The Law Offices of Attorney S.T. Allen and his beautiful team. The level of professionalism, their skilled and experienced legal expertise and representation were top tier. I witnessed firsthand a well respected judge highly commend Attorney S.T. Allen on his representation. To m...e that speaks volumes. 10/10. Highly Recommend.

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.

Order of Protection Case Dismissed

Mr. Allen is very familiar with Order of Protection cases in Cook County. These can be tricky because any person can spitefully go to court and file (and be granted) an order of protection against you, w/o any evidence. Instead of attempting to represent myself, I hired Mr. Allen who was able to navi...gate the Cook County Circuit Court system, address the person who falsely accused me, and ultimately remained professional and neutral during a stressful time for me. The case was dismissed, w/o every having a hearing....which saved me a lot of time. I learned quite a bit from Mr. Allen!

Mother of the Defendant

Navigating The DuPage County Court System is not easy! Attorney Shay Allen used his understanding, expertise and the patience necessary to insure we complied with all the “hoops” our daughter was tossed- due to receiving two traffic violations. Our advice? Add his number in your phone.
