PHENOMANAL Attorney

Before we found Allen we were at our wits end with some family issues. When I 1st called him I was instantly put at ease with his phone demeanor. He made me feel comfortable and at ease. Just that call alone I knew we would hire him. Then we met with him that 1st time and it was like we've known ...him for years. I felt safe with him and knew in my heart that he had our best interest in mind. We had a few more meetings to discuss the case and each time was better than the last. He is so caring, so patient, and so thorough. Nothing was ever missed. He was on point with every detail. He pushes hard for YOU. He is a stellar attorney and I would recommend him to literally everyone. Thank you Allen for always making us feel so heard when no one else did.

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.
