Keith Allen saved our case.

Had it not been for the quick action and skilled legal mind of Keith Allen, my daughter would have gone without any compensation after being run over by a driver. Her first attorney, who was in way over his head dropped the ball and her case was dismissed. I was extremely fortunate to have met Keit...h right after I found this out. He immediately set to work having the judgement vacated and shortly thereafter had the case restored. He constantly kept me informed of our progress and also let me know what I could do to help. As a result of hiring Keith Allen, my daughter received a sizeable settlement for everything she went through. I would and have recommended Keith Allen to family and friends.

Keith is a Lawyer's Lawyer!

Keith is both a colleague of mine, and my former lawyer. I am an attorney. I recently was involved in a matter in which I simply could not represent myself. It was just too close to me. So, Keith represented me. He did an great job. He was tough and aggressive. In a word, he was the strong arm I ne...eded to lean on. I was lucky to have had him. Keith is a real professional. A lawyer's lawyer!! Randi Susan Klein, Esq. Admitted in California, Hawaii, Washington D.C.

He is a true winner!

He took a two year case and resolved it within two months. Keith communicated with me and treated me like a personal friend and not just as a client. He had the knowledge and the know how to get the job done right the first time. He is a winner!

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.
