Superior litigator with real hands on experience.

Upon first meeting with Mike I could tell this man knows what he is doing. He is highly respected in the courts by the judges and other lawyers. He is definitely well equipped to handle you case load with no pressure. As soon as I hired him I felt releaved to know he had my back. Everything we disc...ussed as an outcome came true. Because of him my family is back together and I cant thank him enough. Please do yourself a favor and stop looking. You will see for yourself this man cares about your outcome and how inferior his competition is.

Exceptional attorney

When Michael helped me with my divorce, I was very scared, I knew so little, and he was patient and kind throughout it all explaining things to me every step of the way. He helped me expedite the process which saved me money time and stress. He is considerate, effective, organized and knowledgeable, ...a truly great attorney. I never had any trouble reaching him, he always responded quickly. I'm so grateful I found him and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to a friend.

Divorce Help

The right guy at the right time! I usually don’t take the time to post stuff like this but upon reflecting on my experience with Michael Allen, I felt it necessary. After being served divorce papers I was beyond concerned and lost and was not sure where to start and who to turn to. Michael was referr...ed to me by an attorney friend of mine, which in itself is a strong statement. Divorce is not a pretty thing and having an attorney represent you that understands that and cares was very important to me? Michael’s knowledge of divorce law was only surpassed by his genuine and sincere people skills. I was warned by many about lawyers who drags things on and pad their bills. Michael’s approach was about doing what’s right for the kids, me and overall the least expensive conclusion. In my opinion his focus was always on finding a fair and equitable conclusion while protecting my interests and not forgetting my two kids. He returned my calls and he always provided me with what I needed. I highly recommend Michael Allen!

Michael navigated me through toughest part of my life

When I had a gut feeling in the pit of my stomach, that something had changed in my marriage I had to look into. It would of been a lot easier to turn a blind eye, and keep going with the daily grind and to live unhappily married ever after. After nearly 10 years of marriage and only being 34, with 2... kids (4 and 6) I needed to make a change. I began my search for a family law attorney to help me with my divorce request and I came across Michael Allen. Michael wasn't my first call, but after the consultation he was my last. From the jump he made me feel comfortable with all the aspects of the process and what was going to happen. He took his time explaining to me the road map of a divorce case and was always honest with me. I never imagined I would have to experience this process in my lifetime, who would? His pricing was fair and upfront. There was never no hidden fees, costs, or coming back asking me for more and more money. The case followed the road map he said during our consultation. Michael always made himself available to me to ask any questions regardless the time or day. This was my 1st time going through a divorce and he really eased my concerns as I was scared to death and stressing. At the end of the day it was Michael and I going to battle against my now ex-wife and her attorney. Michael saved my assets by negotiating a fair deal that was right for both parties. I'm also thankful he helped get me joint legal and physical custody of my 2 kids 50/50. At the end of the day I never felt cheated and that was due to Michael's hard work. The division of assets, accounts, spousal support, child support, and visitation all was fair and I owe it all to Michael. Michael's attention to detail and thoroughness saved me a lot of money both upfront and the future till both my kids turn 18. They are 4 and 6 now so there is still a long ways to go having to co-parent them now with my ex. After the case was over he said he would always be there for me if anything comes up and I believe with trust him 100%. Thanks Michael for helping me out and that sums up why I have no issue referring him to anyone. He delivered results of what he said he was going to do! For that I will always be grateful.

Very upfront and honest.

I called Mike to ask about my situation where I got pulled over for an unregistered and uninsured vehicle. He explained what would likely happen at my court date and decided that it wasn't necessary to hire him. I would highly suggest giving Mike a call if you have any questions regarding your situat...ion, I know he will be my go to if anything else happens to me.
