Service First, Service Now, Service Always.

Efficient results and client specific legal services is why I left the public sector to enter private practice. As a Deputy District Attorney, I fought for the common good for the citizens of El Paso & Teller County. Now as a Private Attorney, I fight for individuals to serve them during difficult times.

Transparency, Creativity, and Loyalty are my core values as an Advocate. But most importantly, I view every case, not as a case number, but as a person with aspirations and a future that must be protected. I am thankful to be a member of the Private Practice community and I’ll be at the ready to serve you and yours if the need arises.

Phenomenal
Michael Allen is an amazing attorney, and kept us both informed throughout our divorce process. He made sure both of us had the correct information, and does what he can to find answers, if he doesn't have it at his fingertips. Absolutely professional!

Fantastic Professional Representation
Our daughter was represented by Attorney Allen in a messy child custody and domestic violence protection case. Mr. Allen was professional, kind and very responsive. His staff was always friendly, compassionate and ready and available to answer questions or help manage a complex case that involved two different states and numerous frustrations. There was a very favorable outcome on behalf of my daughter and grandchildren and we feel very pleased. We hope to be able to rest a bit easier now, and can move into long term healing for both our daughter and grandchildren. Thank you and your team for everything over the last year to help our daughter and grandchildren find some long awaited peace.

Mike truly fights & cares for clients
Working with Mike was definitely a pleasure. He always had time to listen to concerns I had, and was always prompt in responding to any emails or phone calls. My case was not complex but my ex and his attorney made everything extremely difficult. Mike always came up with a creative approach on how to handle the situation. He is witty and extremely intelligent and knows the law quite well. Definitely an amazing attorney! I highly recommend Mike.

Fantastic!
Mike took care of everything! I had a list of everything I needed to complete before I went to court. He took care of all my court notices and kept me updated on when I had to be there and when I didn't have to be there and he stood up for me at the end and got me the best possible deal ever! Definitely worth the money! Really help me control my anxiety about all the negativity because I knew someone was handling All the details! They were also very willing to work out and affordable payment plan!

Michael Moran is your guy!
I am so grateful to have been referred to Michael Allen. He is a straight shooter and doesn’t shy away from explaining both the strong and weak points concerning your case, so there aren’t any surprises later - which is greatly appreciated! He is immensely intelligent, passionate about his work, and someone that I will absolutely call upon if needed in the future. I had all the confidence in the world knowing that Michael was going to be the one representing me in court. Thank you Michael for putting my mind at ease!

Good man, good Firm!
Mike is fighter for his clients. I went through an awful divorce, and to me it was a scary and defeating experience. Mike and his team would talk me through everything, guide me through each process and sometimes dry my tears when I couldn't take it anymore. He is encouraging, and fights for what's right. I am so glad he was on my side through the hardest thing I've ever done. I never wanted to go through divorce, but it eased my pain to know I had good people working for my good.

Honest and genuine
Mr. Allen was incredibly honest with his feelings about my case. My case was a protection order and he genuinely cared about what I went thru. Mr. Allen made me feel very comfortable with the decisions he would help make for my case and ultimately he was willing to go whichever direction I chose. I would recommend Michael to anyone needing his services. Thank you!

Great Experience!
Michael listened to what I wanted and came up with a strategy to best meet that goal. Not only were we successful, but he made the court date as easy and stress free as possible. I feel fortunate that such a compassionate and talented attorney is willing to help crime victims, and volunteers his time to help myself and others in similar situations!

Protection order assistance
Mr Allen represented me in a protection order case against my husband. He clearly described the process and my options so I could make the best decision for my future peace of mind. He is detailed and honest about various outcomes of the case, which I appreciated. He is also supportive, which meant the world to me in such an emotional case. I would recommend Mr Allen to anyone seeking assistance in family law, especially protection orders.

Great lawyer
I hired Mr. Allen for a protection order case he was able to get the charges dismissed like I wanted. He is very thorough and make sure I understood is step in the process. He is very busy (probably because he’s so good as his job) but I never felt ignored. He was laser focused on my case and I will gladly hire him again if I ever need to! Worth every penny!
