Honest attorney
Mark Allen was not the first attorney I talked to when looking for representation but he was the first honest, no sugar coating attorney I spoke with which is exactly why I went with him. This has literally been the smoothest life transition I could have asked for. Great communications!

When you need someone experienced...
I felt like Mark had my best interests at heart, he was on top of communicating with me or opposing counsel, he never confused my case with any others, and greatly helped me get more than I expected. He will definitely hear from me again, if/when needed.
