Head on collision with a drunk driver in 2008 while working.

On 03/10/08 which was a Monday at 2:06 p.m. my life changed forever while on my way back from a delivery. I can no longer work, Craig, Kim, and the rest of the team took care of everything for me. I would have been a mad man trying to do all of that paperwork, much less understand it. They took the t...ime to make sure all of the T's were crossed and I's were dotted. Thank you so much Craig and team!

Treated me like family

Allen Law Firm is there for me, and just having that peace of mind that my lawyer has my best interest is relieving, so I can be with my child, go to school, and live my life. With Allen Law Firm, I’m not just a case file, they know about my family and have taken an interest in my life. Anyone in thi...s situation needs an attorney, one wrong misstep on your part and your case is gone

Great Experience

I cannot say enough ‘thank yous’ for all that Allen Law Firm has done for me, especially Amber and Shawna. They have taken such good care in making sure I have been treated fairly and making sure my job related injuries are getting addressed. They have taken care of most of the worry and made a miser...able situation a bit more tolerabl

Great L&I team!!!

I hired the Allen Law Firm after I was injured on the job, and had been totally dismissed by my employer and felt I was getting the run around from the department of Labor and Industries. I was very happy with Craig, his paralegals and other staff at the office. They all seemed professional and comp...assionate. They were able to get time loss started for me, referred me to an excellent doctor with lots of experience in this type of thing, and I finally felt like I was getting the treatment I needed to get better. The only thing I wasn't %100 happy with was that I couldn't always talk to my paralegal when I wanted to and had to leave a voice mail. Sometimes they would take a day or two to get back to me, but they always did eventually so I guess that was ok.

Effective Attorney, Great Paralegals!

I hired Allen Law Firm when I got injured at work. I initially tried to handle my case on my own until the department ended my time loss and I was left hopeless. I heard about the firm through a friend and scheduled a consultation and immediately felt at ease; there was no sales pitch and they treate...d me like a real person, unlike the department. Within a month my claim was reopened and I'm finally being treated for my injury. Thank you Allen Law Firm!

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.
