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 definitely 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 the 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!

Ms. Allen was amazing in helping us with our legal issue. She explained the situation to us and took care of every step along the way. Since I have not had much experience with the legal system, it was great to have someone helping us that was kind, comforting, and knowledgeable of the entire process.

SUPERB service and communication.
I just found this forum or I would have written a review long ago. Marcy was co-counsel on a civil matter with Jim Norris on my behalf in 2012. Jim, Marcy and Jenna were all very helpful and always represented my best interest. I was sad to see Marcy leave Jim's office but very proud that she has continued to help others in the same fashion she helped me. She treats everyone with compassion and listens to their concerns. Marcy understands every case is unique, you won't get the regular run of the mill representation here, you get the bull dog ready to bite in court. She is upfront, honest and hard working for her clients. I was truly impressed with her representation and you will be to.

Gosh, I wish I could take credit for the great encounter you had with this attorney who worked with Jim Norris, but that was not me! I am so glad, though, that you had a good experience. : )

Marcy is the best!
Every time I've needed her (about 5 times now) she has fought to get my tickets lowered or dropped and helped me a ton when I got in a car wreck. I have always been satisfied no matter. Great help!

Consultation over the phone
Marcy was professional, friendly, and very informative. She give me great support on which direction I should go. Even though she didn't officially represent me I felt like she did. If I need an attorney in the future Marcy Allen will be the one I call.

God send
I am so thankful that I hired Marcy Allen as my attorney. From the beginning she has gone above and beyond what I have ask of her. She was willing to take my case and allow me to work to pay her. She has answered every text or call or email and has worked with my D.A to give me the chance to succeed and I truly owe my life to her. Anyone who is in need of an honest and work to get it done attorney needs to call Marcy Allen.

Great attorney
Attorney Marcy Allen is a dedicated, hard working and compassionate attorney. She is not judge mental she works very hard for her client. My husband had gotten in serious trouble 2 years ago and was told he would not be able to walk away from these charges. We prayed and ran across Attorney Allen. Her first conference with him, She assured us she would fight to get him only probation. And that she did hold her word to. She is very professional and I would recommend anyone to use her service. Thank You Attorney Allen for all you have done.

DUI defense
Miss Allen was always available for my questions. She never acted as if I was a bother. And I contacted her. A lot. I lived out of state and she made the entire process easy for me to deal with. Very knowledgeable and helpful. She made a tough experience go as best it could. I'd recommend her to anyone who needed legal help.

Dismissed
I am very fortunate that I found an attorney like Marcy Allen. She is very knowledgeable and experienced about the laws and court systems in Louisiana. She worked diligently on my case. She gave me the exact outcome of how my case would be handled. If I had to have a attorney represent me again I would definitely choose her. She was sweet and kind heart it with of a firery go getter spirit. She definitely knows what she's doing and she's very good at it and I applaud her. for that. I thank her so much.

shinning light at the end of the tunnel
Marcy Allen gave my wife and I the urgent help we needed while we where in Monroe, LA working. She was very knowledgeable and aware of the Monroe City Courts in and outs of processes and personnel. She readily understood our case and made us feel that our problem was her problem to solve. We would use Marcy's service again if the need ever arose. Being from out of state and working on the road, the last thing you need on your plate is a court case in Louisiana!

Unequaled Attorney with incomparable kindness.
I am extremely pleased with Ms. Allen as my attorney. The outcome of my case was exactly as she stated it would be. She is immensely knowledgeable of the law and exceptionally comforting when explaining the details of your case so you not only understand, but also feel completely confident in her abilities as an attorney. She is quick to respond to all matters that may arise in a polite manner which makes her very easy to communicate with effectively. I could not be more pleased with my choice of Ms. Allen and recommend her to anyone in search of a phenominal attorney.
