J Christopher Allen

Chris has been our Attorney since 2002, for various issues. Some were very challenging cases and most recently about a land dispute. He did everything he could to save us money and was very wise of how to handle each situation. We believe he is very honest…and works hard to win the case. He definitel...y knows his stuff. He’s the man to use as a really great Attorney. And his paralegal, Starla, is very helpful and great at her job, too! We highly recommend Chris Allen and this Lawfirm .

Our family hired Chris to represent us in what was originally to be a simple probate case, as our father died without a will. It turned out a former employee filed suit against the estate. Upon advise of Chris, we immediately counter-filed. Because of the civil litigation, a nine to 12 month process ...turned into a year and a half battle with the other party. Chris and his staff went above and beyond to represent us, advise us, and appear for us as we live outside of Missouri. He defended us in the aforementioned civil action. With all the hours and work Chris and his staff invested into our case, we won. Not only did we win, but we won beyond expectations. Now that this civil action has been tried and concluded in our favor, Chris and staff can proceed with finalizing the probate activity. If you are looking for an attorney that will far exceed your expectations, Call Allen & Rector, P.C. to ask for Chris. You will not be disappointed with his representation for you regarding your case!

I hired Chris Allen for my criminal case. Mr. Allen reviewed my case, and met up with me for a consultation. I hired Mr. Allen on the spot. Mr. Allen knew exactly what he could do for me, he told me what could happen to the outcomes of my case. Mr. Allen was very sure he could help me and made that v...ery clear. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to every aspect of the case, and still does additional research when necessary to stay on top of his and everybody else’s game. Mr. Allen is not only brilliant, but kind. Mr. Allen knows that he is working for you and that you are coming to him for help with your case. Mr. Allen takes your case with seriousness, care, and shows all the effort of his work by not only the outcome of his cases, but by his strive of determination that you can see on a daily basis. He truly has gone above and beyond what any other lawyer I know of would have gone for me or anybody else for that matter. I don’t write this to lie or to give false hope to somebody reading this. I write this to let you know, if you pick Chris Allen for your attorney, you will not be disappointed in your choices.

Where do I start as both Mr. Allen and his staff as they are very professional and exceeded my expectations involving what I thought was a simple adoption that turned into processing an international adoption with State Department forms and Hague Convention requirements. When we first met Mr. Allen h...e was straight forward about taking the case and some of the issues we might encounter with our granddaughter being German. Basically, the cost did not bother me but I thought it would be an easy adoption as both biological parents signed the rights over for us to adopt. There is a lot to learn but international adoption from our case but both Mr. Allen and Ms. Queen exceeded the standards several times when issues popped like having a home study approved by the State Department and making phone calls to resolve the rejection of our State Department forms due to little issues. I seriously thought the cost of this adoption was going to increase as more issues were involved in getting the case properly ajuducated through the legal system but Mr. Allen said we would stick to te agreed fee and would accept the challenge as it was unique. Having a great staff and someone like Ms. Queen to follow up on paperwork and phone calls on the status of the case is what makes a business successful as often the client just needs a status of where are we at and the plan for the road ahead which makes Allen & Allen a highly recommended firm to seek for legal issues. At the actual day of being in court with the judge Mr. Allen was excellent in the legal portion of the court between our now daughter and the judge as he took the time to let her know what was going to happen in the court as she gets very nervous with unknown folks. In closing, I highly recommend Mr. Allen and his firm as I am taking the time out to personally thank all the folks involved with the successful adoption of our daughter. This is a great reflection upon Mr. Allen, Allen & Allen firm, and the city of Lebanon, Missouri.
