Allowed me to focus on what is important

Chris Allen took the worry of an insurance claim out of my hands and allowed me to focus on my daughter's health. The insurance company refused to accept liability and didn't want to pay the medical bills, after she seriously injured her foot. He fought for my daughter, got the bills paid and got h...er the compensation she deserved for everything she had gone through. He always took my calls and kept me calm during an emotional time. He's a genuinely nice person and an ethical attorney. I highly recommend Chris Allen!

An attorney you can trust

When you are injured and saddled with burdensome and unexpected medical bills, Chris Allen is the attorney to call. He navigated negotiations with the insurance companies on my behalf. Without him it would have been a daunting task. But with his help it was completely stress-free. He negotiated a f...air settlement which allowed me to have follow up treatment. I highly recommend Chris Allen. He communicates with his clients and makes you a priority. I would call him again if the need should ever arise.

Knowledgeable and Experienced

Mr. Allen currently represents me for two auto accidents. Not one time have I ever had to speak with the insurance company regarding my cases. Mr. Allen is always available any time I call to ask a question and is assertive with the insurance companies. I would highly recommend Mr. Allen to anyon...e who is injured in an auto accident.

Excellent Attorney

I believe Mr. Allen gave me 110% of his attention and that is very important in looking for an attorney. When the case began, he explained in detail what he would do and that he would make every effort to get me what I deserve and he did just that! The time he took wasn't long at all. He kept me i...nformed on what was going on with my case and if at any time I needed to speak to him, if he wasn't there, he would return my call each and every time. He is dependable and will work for you so I highly recommend him.

Excellent

Chris was excellent in the handling of our case. He negotiated to get us the maximum benefits from the insurance company possible without even having to file a lawsuit. He really knew how to handle the insurance company, he was great about explaining how the process works and the good vs. difficult... aspects of our case, and he kept us well informed the whole time. I highly recommend Chris to everyone.
