Allen Speare Saved the Day

Allen was the second lawyer I hired for my case. My first lawyer threw me a great sales pitch, took my money and I never received a phone call. I was updated to show up to court via USPS mail. When it was time for trial, you can guess what happened. Open your pocket book, and I would have if I nee...ded to. I decided to seek new counseling and I was fortunate to find Allen Speare. I presented my case to him and he was quick to understand my point of few and began to brainstorm the case. Throughout the whole ordeal his communication via phone calls/emails was second to none. I was never left not knowing the current status of my case or what actions he needed me to take assisting in the case. Allen was able to find a loop hole and point out an error with the DA's speeding curve ball zinging right at my head. Not only did that curve ball miss my head, it also saved my a ton of money. Thank you Allen Speare for being honest and a GREAT LAWYER!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
