Smooth Closings

I have used Attorney Allingham for two closings, drafting wills for my wife and myself and for my parents and for legal advice over the past 22 years. Attorney Allingham has always taken the time to identify our needs and tailor services to address those needs. He always expresses a thorough unders...tanding of the situation and the laws and regulations that pertain to those situations. I had to be out of state for my most recent closing and it was comforting to know there was someone representing me who I could trust and had my best interests in mind. I have always relied on Attorney Allingham for sound advice and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an attorney they can trust and rely on.

Excellent Client Care

Thomas Allingham is very responsive and informative. He really listens to his clients needs, and explains possible outcomes and legalese thoroughly. My family has used him for years, in several legal matters, including defense cases and real estate closings. Attorney Allingham negotiated very favo...rable outcomes during defense cases. He was adept in evaluating our situation, given our circumstances, and fighting on our behalf. With real estate closings, he went through every page with us, explaining what it all meant and checking that we were in agreement with all clauses. Alligham's staff is also very conscientious. The staff is very courteous, and very knowledgeable. I would recommend Tom Alligham to anyone. I can not praise Alligham and his staff enough. If you are looking to hire the best lawyer around, look no further.

Criminal defense lawyer | Feb 07

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"My divorce clients occasionally get into trouble and need the assistance of a highly compentent criminal defense attorney. Tom Allingham is the lawyer who I most often refer those clients to. The effects of an arrest in the context of a divorce can result in damaging consequences for my client's financial future or the custody and parenting of his or her children. A delicate balance must be reached between the competing cases. Tom has always worked cooperatively with me and understands those fragile nuances, which can tip a divorce case in the wrong direction. I appreciate his accessibility, which often involves the scheduling of an immediate appointment. It is incumbent on me to secure the best possible results I can for my clients, and in situations where a criminal defense attorney is needed, Tom is the lawyer I rely on."
