This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Buyer Beware

I used this lawyer several years ago. He helped me with one matter and went MIA in the second. He lost me a lot of money. After I finally got my records back from him, after months, he presented me with a new bill, without ever indicating any further monies were owed. He had literally disappeared. Lo...ok up his CA Bar info. That will tell you all you need to know. I contemplated filing a complaint with the CA Bar. He lost me a lot of money. Do your homework on this lawyer,

Excellent, Results-Oriented Attorney

I utilized Keith for what was a very contentious and complex divorce. He quickly absorbed all the history of the case (I had used other attorneys prior), and he won absolutely every point and request in court. Amazing. Highly recommended.

Civil Lawsuit

I found Mr. Allen to be very professional and easy to deal with. My case was very difficult but his expertise won the day.

So grateful I hired Keith-

I think most of us recognize that we hire attorneys during some of the most challenging times in our lives. These are times when our stress levels are through the roof and it's hard to think straight. We rely on them to help us make decisions that may have lifelong implications. Keith Allen was my ba...ckbone when I had little left and a calm voice of reason throughout a process that was simply heartbreaking. He credits his honor and credibility to his military experience and training and it may be the case and if so I'm grateful to whatever brought him to handle legal matters with expertise, grace and profound dignity. If you want a true hero on your side, give Keith a call. He has defended my son and looked out for his welfare as if he was his own. He always takes my calls or gets back to me very quickly and is incredibly knowledgeable about the law. What more could anyone ask?

Off the charts phenomenal

Lucrative co, long term marriage, two kids, 5 years battling in court and Keith came in and knew his laws; just as much as his assertive strength. I had been begging for the mess to end from other attorneys and judge. He did it in a day. He is far beyond any normal OC attorney. I will thank him fore...ver for saving my kids and I, my business and home

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.
