This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Nope

She was minors council when my daughter was a teenager. Never interviewed me never interviewed my family. Seem to be mesmerized by my handsome ex. Anyway. He ended up doing rehab for crack cocaine after her recommendation that he was a fit parent. I was very educated and had a great household, but th...is did not matter to her. I would never hired this attorney. Anyone want more recommendations? Please contact me.

Child custody

Don't hire her. She works with the opposing attorney to drag out your case. She let's the opposing attorney know what your going to do like serving legal papers. She cost me over $20,000.00 for nothing. I had to get another attorney to finish the job correctly. She's the worst. Find someone else.

Super Star Family Law Attorney

I have known Lila Allen for twenty years and she is a very ethical, professional and skilled attorney for family law in Orange County. I personally use her for special appearances and send her family law cases.

The Best and Most Honest

One of the few, honest attorneys around. Lila cut through the "legalese" and handled my difficult case and my ex.

Excellent!

My boss referred me to Lila Allen the day I was served divorce papers at my workplace from my husband. I was almost numb from the shock not to mention devastated. During the process I found out he had a women friend that wanted to "take-over" the divorce proceeding even though she was not a lawyer n...or did she possess as much as a high school diploma. She showed up at our meeting with Lila and sat herself down in the office often interrupting . it was embarrassing and shocking and even my ex-husband-to be was embarrassed and ashamed and just sat and hung his head. This was such an awkward situation and I vividly remember how professional Lila was and how she was able to quietly diffuse the woman while maintaining her poise as she escorted her to the door. I cannot recommend a more honest and professional attorney than Lila Allen. She took care of everything promptly and professionally in spite of this AMAZON woman who later came back and started using foul language. Again, Lila never lost her composure and worked through the entire situation assertively establishing an amicable solution and settlement. What stands out even more, is Lila's compassion and understanding of human behavior during such a vulnerable and trying time. I highly recommend her to any person who is seeking legal consultation from an attorney that has integrity, compassion, "knows their stuff" and is fair and honest at the same time. I am so grateful to my boss for recommending Lila!
