Semi-Truck Accident

Scott Allen Law Firm did a great job in trying to secure compensation for an accident I was involved in. A semi-truck t-boned my Ford Edge on Hwy. 101 just north of Jolon Road in King City. Myself, my high school son & his classmate survived the accident - unfortunately, the truck driver hit the side... that his classmate was sitting. It pains me to recall the challenges this child now has. The truck driver totaled my car. It was said that we were lucky to be alive. Scott and his team were kind & patient in their interaction with us. They would follow through with consistent communication. I trust their approach & handling and, I appreciate their hard work in helping us deal with this case.

An attorney with a heart

I was going to hire someone before, but I couldn't because the other attorney wouldn't take a case if the medical expenses are under 25k, so I did everything by myself upto the demand letter that I wrote. My statue of limitation day was 4/10 this year. I hired him on 3/29 after I sent out my dema...nd letter to the othet party's insurance company in case I would need to go for litigation instead of settling my case. He was willing to take my case. He carefully listened to my case, and speed the process of negotiation with the other party. I was able to settle right before the statue of limitation with a very happy result. I would recommend to any person who needs a personal injury attorney. He is an attorney with a good heart. Thank you!

Justice Simplified

After being hit by a red light-runner while driving for work then hospitalized for three nights, I met Scott and hired him to pursue my case. A legal situation seemed like the last thing in the world I needed on my plate at the time mid grad school and cross country relocation. Scott took it off my p...late and made the entire experience as pleasant as it could be, all things considered. In 6 months he settled my case and I moved on with my life. He was the companion I needed at the time to help carry the additional burden and I am forever grateful. Thank you again Scott.

Excellent Attorney! Highly Recommended

I was injured in a car accident on Highway 1 in Santa Cruz. Scott Allen guided me through the legal process and obtained a very favorable settlement for me.

  • 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.
