As an attorney with 15 years of experience, I believe in settling cases wherever possible to avoid the time and expense of trial. But where settlement is not possible, I will aggressively litigate your case to get the best outcome possible.

Superb, sympathetic legal assistant

I am extremely satisfied with the legal services provided by Beverly Allen. Beverly's expertise and knowledge in various fields of the law including Military law were evident from our first consultation she thoroughly analyzed my case. Beverly Allen, identified potential issues, and developed a str...ategic approach. Their attention to detail and comprehensive understanding of the law resulted in a favorable outcome for me. I have full confidence in Beverly Allen abilities and would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking legal representation in needing legal consultation in military law.

Garnishment Order-From VA Benefits.

Attorney, Beverly Allen help me with updating a Judgement, and the paper work for failing a Garnishment Order. The Garnishment order, had to be very specific in language, due to the fact, that this was a VA Garnishment Order. The Attorney Explained the steps, and the CFRs that where true in this case.... Mrs. Allen also, Showed me where to send the document, once they where filed into court. I was Pro-Se (Self-Represented). The attorney made sure that i had a clear understanding on the documents, and made sure that i was well prepared for court. The following week, I week before a judge and presented my case, with fact finding documents, and Won. My judgment was brought to current, and i was able to get my Garnishment Order signed by the Judge. Beverly Allen took time out of her busy schedule on a Weekend to assist me. Beverly Allen is competent in her work, and care about her clients. I highly recommend her for you family law issues. Please keep in mind that this was just a consultation, and she has accomplished so much for me. Just imagine what she can do for you!

Thank you for helping me and my family!

I have never been through anything like my divorce before and Beverly got me through it with flying colors. She really knows her stuff. I got more time with my kids than I thought I would and I'm paying what I should in child support, not what my ex's lawyer insisted I pay. Very happy here. Thank you... Beverly!

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.
