Excellent attorney with a great reputation!

Michael Allen helped me with my PO case. I spoke with a few other attorneys who assured me that I made a great choice by hiring Mr. Allen. They were spot on! Michael is a go-getter and he knows what he’s doing. Thanks!

Michael was knowledgeable and helpful with my PO. He let me know what was going on every step of the way and what was in my best interest at every juncture.

Great lawyer!!

Micheal knows what he's talking about when it came to my divorce with property and child custody. He and his para made me feel like I knew what to expect before I did it. He made the process painless for me. Can't say so much about the defendant. Great job Micheal on getting me what I wanted for the... most part.

Best Lawyer I have ever met.

Mike helped me with an absolute battle of a divorce. Helped hire a CFI and fight for child custody. The judge ruled in our favor and my kids are back home with me only because of Mike. A huge thank you to him and the team at Moran & Associates.

Massive waste of money

I hired Mike to litigate my divorce. He provided zero support. All he would say when I would ask a financial question is: "it's just math. Don't worry." He provided no counsel on my parenting plan, which when I went to the judge was so egregious she threw it out and asked me to hire a competent attor...ney. What a waste. My case was such a mess that I have had to start over, thousands of dollars later.

As this is an anonymous review, I am uncertain as to who you are, if I was in fact your legal counsel, or if I had worked with you regarding any potential parenting plan. It seems from your post that you represented yourself pro se at your court hearing. I would certainly remember a Judge or Magistrate telling me that my client should hire a competent attorney in my presence, and I have no recollection at any time in my career of a Judge or Magistrate making such statement while I was representing a client. With that said, I am sincerely sorry that you had such a bad experience in front of a Judge or Magistrate. My firm prides itself on customer service for our clients and our legal acumen in all family law matters. I am more than willing to take this conversation offline to address any family law issues you are experiencing. Please give my office a call at your earliest convenience and you will speak directly with me regarding your family law issue. Our Office Number is 719.447.1923. Sincerely, Michael T. Allen Moran & Associates Office: 719.447.1923

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.
