Excellent representation.

We had hired Chris Allen after we were not making progress with the first attorney. He put us at ease without promising it would be an easy process. It took time however he was able to obtain a dismissal which was not even our most hopeful outcome it seemed. We are very grateful to the professionalis...m and expertise and would recommend to anyone needing a great defense attorney.

Professional, knowledgable and honest

We hired Chris when our son was accused of something he clearly didn't do. Chris was very knowledgable about what to expect during this process and was always very quick to respond to any questions. We would highly recommend him to anyone who might be in need of a Criminal attorney.

Highly recommend.!!

I would like to begin by saying thank you to Mr. Allen and Mr. Patillo and their staff for all the hard work and effort they put into the case they where working on for my family member. When I was searching for a lawyer I did my reviews and choose them. Not knowing anything about them except for the... reviews I read. I didn't know what to expect. That's until I called and spoke to Mr. Allen. I automatically knew this was the lawyer we should hire for my family member. when we met with him for the first time I knew we had hired the right lawyer. He is very caring and compassionate about what he does. He does not give you false hope, he just tells you the truth. I would recommend him and his law office to anyone that needs a good honest lawyer. His personal contact was always great and never leaves you hanging or wondering what is going on with the case. I am very pleased for what he did for my family member he did exactly what he said he was going to do. I can't thank him enough for his genorosity. My family member was looking at hard time and he got him 2 years. I'm amazed. Once again thank you Mr. Allen and Mr. Patillo and your staff for all that you have done. God Bless all of you and your families.

Winner!

I was facing a hard battle and was being told by everyone to just accept a plea deal.... I hired Chris and we went to trials! He kept my hopes up but also didn't sugar coat the possible outcomes. He was incredible to watch in front of the jury. He was down to earth and yet intelligent and the jury lo...ved it. I owe Mr Allen so much. He is the reason I am walking a free man.

A life saver!

My son got into some trouble a few years ago and I thought his future was ruined. I contacted Chris Allen and of course I had a million questions and was lost in the legal Mumbo jumbo that was being thrown at me by the police as well as the juvenile dept. At our first appearance in court Mr. Allen sa...ved the day. He was able to get our son out and seemed to have a great working relationship with the prosecutor as well as the judge. Once our son was released to us it wasn't over, there were more court dates and meetings but it all led to a dismissal. We were extremely pleased with the outcome and we were even able to work with Mr Allen to get our son's record sealed, which is huge! What could have potentially been a life altering mistake for my son did not ruin his future thanks to Mr. Allen.
