Traffic reckless driving

Mike was very open from Are first conversation to Are last and he really worked with me in a very difficult time I was going through I had so much going on in my life and I could be difficult to get a hold of do to other matters but mike keep following up with me sometimes even after normal hours of ...operations to ensure me of what was going on in my case it was like no other lawyer I have ever dealt with before on other traffic cases from my youth so I was very skeptical at the beginning to the point if I wasn’t dealing with personal stuff I was on the fence about not hiring a lawyer if I ever need a lawyer again mike is my first call ok about the case I just got home from working on the road for the last ten years and was working on a trailer and had my child Stoney laru aka my dog a 13lb Schnauzer and she had consumed a entire block or rat poison on a Friday evening so I immediately 30 contact in the veterinarian In my witch none of them have after hours clinic so Colorado Springs was my only option 15 minutes has passed and I live in guffey a hour and a half drive doing all posted speed limits and the vet told me I had approximately a hour and 10 to get treatment going so off we went and I came across three Individual vehicles as I from Approximately a mile back I proceeded to flash my high beams with my hazards on did not ride the tailgate continue to display hazards and flash my high beams due to the non-passing areas to the three vehicles proceeded to break check me and slow down to 10 miles an hour so I proceeded to pass on double yellow which I should not have came to a stop light that was red pulled into the turn lane next to a gentleman hide my horn he rolled his window down I told him the situation and that I was going to go straight and not turn he said that that was perfectly fine set multiple of these individuals called in and said that I was excessively speeding passing double yellow is blowing through red lights ritual Asher caught up with me I saw him I proceeded to speed up with my hazards on highbeams on assuming maybe he would follow me seeing that I had an emergency pulled me over for the speed that I was doing over this post limit help me on the side of the road 20 minutes then followed me to the veterinarian clinic Assisting me on the directions and getting there once I got my dog in and treatment started really citations for all of the alleged Calls and also his witness account of our encounter we discussed other options if there ever was another occurrence like this in the future I feel that we had a happy medium the ticket added up to 14 points several counts of reckless driving I’m a CDL driver that works in the lives on the road doing construction is a heavy equipment operator so really put the brakes on my income of my life and the happy ending of the story is that Mike did a excellent job representing me and getting a more desirable outcome to where I did not lose my license and my way of making an income many thanks to Mike he’s an amazing lawyer

Excellent Service & Communication - Highly Recommend!

If you are looking for a professional, dedicated, and reliable lawyer who goes above and beyond, Michael is your answer. I hired Michael to represent me for a moving violation ticket that I had received. Michael always made himself available, called me with updates, and even emailed me. I couldn't ...have been happier with the excellent service that he provided, and would highly recommend Michael to anyone who is need of legal services. Thank you again for the outstanding job you have done to make the outcome of my case a favorable one.

Best Attorney and Service Delivery!!

I was in a vulnerable and difficult situation involving a protection order that included my children. Initially, Mike took time out his schedule to do a consult and was very thorough on details to ensure my issues were being addressed. During my case, Mike is very reliable, timely, and consistent i...n his work and communication. Any time I emailed or call, Mike would call me or email by the end of the day! To me that shows dedication and willingness to stay connected and felt my voice in the issues mattered. I have gone all around town looking for lawyers, and no lawyer in town works payments, returns calls or emails on same day, and goes above and beyond to ensure results are favorable like Mike Allen does! Mike Allen represented me in a protection order and now because of his work, I plan on hiring him for round two- Divorce Case. Thank you Mike Allen! You are the best!! Definitely referring you to my clients!
