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.

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 t...he world to me in such an emotional case. I would recommend Mr Allen to anyone seeking assistance in family law, especially protection orders.

Very Impressed

Michael Allen assisted me with my child custody case. As a single Dad, custody disputes can be hard and I not only recommend him but I guarantee once you have used his service you too will look no further. Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Michael Allen was nothing was "sugar coated". He... was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. Going thru the custody case from start to finish. Mike kept me informed of each step and what the options were and what the risks were. There were no empty promises made just to keep the client happy. Michael is an extremely knowledgeable lawyer that will dominate the opposition in the courtroom and make you feel confident that he is in your corner.

Contempt case

We used Mike Allen at the last minute and I was the one on the bottom and we made it all the way to the top, he always did everything that he said he was going to do and made me feel like I understood everything.. we won the case big time coming from the bottom now back to the top and I couldn't ...be no more thankful we even received some of the money back which is awesome because you don't see that very much with law firms.. Thank you for helping me get to this point in my life to where now I can finally breathe and be comfortable.

  • 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.
