Best lawyer for Twin Cities

I cannot thank Marcy and her staff enough for representing me, and all the professionalism and honesty she showed me during this process! Thanks for always informing me, and everything you told me came to Pass! It also helps when lawyer has a good standing with prosecutors and judges, and that's d...efinitely Marcy! I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great sound lawye.... Melissa and Brandy in her office were great as well, and I felt at home every time I visited their office.

Marcy truly cares for you and will help you to best best of her ability. She's kind, personable, understanding ,and very easy to talk to. Mrs. Allen isn't only in it for the money, like some other attorneys, her work is her passion. If you choose Marcy Allen, then you're making the right decision.

A heart of gold

No one ever predicts getting into trouble with the law, I know I didn't. When my wife and I got into an argument my life completely spun out of control. It's important to have an attorney with high integrity, compassion, and persistence to see you through till the end. Mrs Allen went above and beyond... in my case matter that consisted of a domestic violence charge. I went from being a manager at a prestigious Corporation to not having employment due to this circumstance. Due to her hard work and knowledge she was able to have the Chargers dismissed enabling me to get back to my professional career. Had I not had a lawyer of her caliber my very livelihood could have changed forever. If that wasn't enough this wonderful woman offered to send a letter to the employer to have me reinstated at the Corporation. She is truly a blessing. Marcy Allen you gave me a new beginning at life.

So helpful! 10/10

Marcy was amazing! I was from out of the state and was honestly so worried about everything. I had a minor criminal charge and didnt know the first step on how to take care of this. Marcy replied to emails fast, answered every single question I had, and helped me get the outcome I wanted in my case. ...Marcy took care of EVERYTHING and I totally recommend you hire her.

Dedicated and compassionate!

Mrs. Allen was assigned as my public defense lawyer. She worked as hard on my case as any lawyer I could have hired and paid thousands for. She stayed in constant contact with me and kept me updated on my case.She is very professional and super sweet! She got my charge reduced and made sure it was th...e best possible outcome for me and my future. I will be recommending her to anyone that is looking for the best attorney in Northeast Louisiana!

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.
