Divorce after 25 years

Divorce is hard enough. I had been with my Husband for 25 years and I can truly say...I never saw it coming! Mr. Allen was there for me every step of the way! I have recommended his practice to others and will continue to do so!

Couldn't be happier!!

If what you're fighting for is important to you, you can trust Mark Allen to be in your corner! I had a terrible experience with a previous attorney and he quickly got up to speed with the case, protected the safety of my kids and saved me a lot of money. I could not be happier with the outcome!

EXCELLENT, PROFESSIONAL,

I was working with Mark from Out of state and he handled everything for me, all I had to do was show up to court and was in and out. Their were no surprises waiting for me in the court room. Mark was vert attentive and assertive and mater of fact with me. He kept me informed as my case proceeded. ...Their was never a doubt as to what was happening. I strongly recommend Mark to any one need legal advice or counsel and will definitely be using him in the future if need be.

Highly Recommended

I hired Mark and his team when I went through my divorce. As you can imagine this process is not fun but Mark was very helpful and explained everything in detail so I could understand. He was very responsive and always informed me what was going on in the process. If I had questions he was quick ...to answer. I would highly recommend Mark Allen and his team.

Detailed & Efficent

Mr. Allen was very detail orientated in this process. He was very responsive and helpful when it came to the financial part of the divorce. He was able to provide the answers I needed in a short amount of time. He looked at several different options for me and didn't pressure me, he allowed me to mak...e my own decisions. He provided excellent resources for getting a home appraisal and financial advisement help. I am highly satisfied with Mr. Allen and his ability to put his client first. I sought Mr. Allen out as a second opinion from my previous lawyer. After spending 1 hour with him I knew I needed him on my side. He was able to tell me what I needed to know in one visit compared to 5 visits with my previous attorney. Mr. Allen was also very kindhearted and compassionate during this difficult process as was his staff.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
