Marcy L. Allen review

I hired Ms. Allen in early 2014 to assist me in collecting a 2-year past due business debt. One polite, thoughtfully written letter to my past-due client was all it took to collect my money and still preserve a long-standing business relationship. Ms. Allen is professional, courteous, reasonably p...riced and prompt. I recommend her without reservation.

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.
