Posted by Katherine | February 25, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Trucking Accident

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.

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.
