Mr. Cate came my way on a recommendation from another bankruptcy attorney. Boy, I was not disappointed! He successfully handled my complicated case with ease and professionalism. He is extremely knowledgeable in all matters of bankruptcy. In addition, his empathy and trust kept me confident through the entire process. I highly recommend him.

I consulted with 10 different attorneys. 7 were clearly after my money and not giving me the best advice. 3 actually had good advice and what was best for me. Allan was the BEST! Choosing a lawyer was as stressful as what I needed a lawyer for. Allan was perfect. He was able to bring my stress level way down. He explained everything thing to me and answered all my questions. Especially my questions on what to expect and what was going to happen in Court. He was absolutely fantastic before, during and after court. I needed a good attorney. When I chose Allan to represent me. It felt like I got a new best friend who was Awesome representing me in court. I would use him for anything.

I so appreciative the difficult work you put into my case this year. Thank you for your time and your compassion for everything that I was dealing with. Because you fought for me, I was able to get closure and peace of mind during an event that has changed my life. You are a thoughtful person and an even better attorney. Thank you very much for all your hard work!

It was a pleasure working with Allan to help me with an evictions process for a tenant of mine. He's very down to earth and discusses legal matters in a way that was very easy for me to understand. He made me feel so relaxed and calm about taking care of my situation that I trusted him completely. He knows what he's talking about and gets right to work effectively and efficiently. My tenants were moved out in less than a week after being served so luckily we never had to go to court, but I would've felt confident having Allan handle my case that I wasn't too worried either way. I chose to work with him because his pricing is affordable and he was the only attorney out of 6 who actually returned my call, on the same day within hours. Once when I called him back he was on his way to court for another client, but he didn't make me feel rushed and he picked up right where we left off with names and details; even though I'm sure he was preoccupied with his case. I would gladly recommend him to friends or family who may need his legal services.

Allan Cate is a godsend! He helped us when we had troubles with our landlord. That is seriously a scary situation... We were facing loosing our home because of uninhabitable conditions (bed bugs that came from an attached unit, nightmare!!!). Allan took some of the stress off. He calmed us, handled our landlord and his lawyer, and helped us mediate the situation. I couldn't have asked for more. He is friendly and casual to speak with which helps when you don't understand all the laws. The letters he wrote were so well written, too the point and strong. He is a great lawyer who can definitely help! If you ever need a lawyer I highly recommend Allan Cate! You won't be sorry!

Allan Cate is a very knowledgeable attorney. He could help my family to stay at their home although they faced many foreclosure. He is quiet, serious and very loving human. He keeps his clients posted with needed information and gives the correct advice. I recommend this attorney to any one who faces financial problems and has issues with paying mortgage on time. He is the one you can rely on. Issa

I've worked with Mr. Cate on several occasions after being very pleased with the results he got me in my first case. He appreciates that everyone is busy so his schedule if very flexible and he doesn't waste your time in taking care of your business. For the extensive experience he has, his rates are reasonable but most importantly you never feel like that is all he's thinking about (like some other attorneys I've met). If he can't handle your case, he has an extensive network of colleagues so you can get the help you need. I strongly recommend Mr. Cate.

ALLAN CATE IS HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL ATTORNEY. HE TAKES CARE OF HIS CLIENTS AS IF THEY ARE PART OF HIS FAMILY. HE IS TRUSTWORTHY. MY HUSBAND AND ARE VERY LUCKY AND BLESSED TO HAVE HIM HIS ATTORNEY. WE FEEL HE IS OUR SON. SINCE ENGLISH IS NOT OUR FIRST LANGUAGE, HE MAKES SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING NEEDED IN OUR CASE. HE HELPED US TO STAY AT OUR HOME. I RECOMMEND HIM TO PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP IN THEIR MORTGAGE AND HOUSING DIFFICULTIES.HE DOES GREAT EFFORT TO MAKE HIS CLIENTS FEEL SAFE AND LIVE SAFE. HE INFORMS US WITH EACH STEP HE PROCEEDS AND TELL US WHAT TO DO. ALLAN CATE IS REALLY RARE NOWADAYS BECAUSE HE IS PROFESSIONAL AND GREAT HUMAN. I KNOW HOW PEOPLE FEEL WHEN THEY HAVE DIFFICULTIES WITH PAYING MORTGAGE AND FEARING TO LOOSE THEIR HOMES BECAUSE I WENT THROUGH THIS HEADACHE SO I ADVISE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIMILAR DIFFICULTIES TO SEE MR. CATE AND ASK FOR HIS HELP. HE IS REALLY A WONDERFUL GUY.

Allan assisted me several times with legal matters and he has always taken my best interested in mind. He looks for the common sense approach instead of the sledge hammer approach. If he doesn't know something or is not the best lawyer for the situation he'll let you know and probably refer you to another attorney like he did with me.
