I hired Mr. Allen to help me with my divorce. He was very professional and dedicated to my case. He work as quickly and efficiently as he could saving me money along the way. He listened to my story and helped me figure out the best way to handle everything that comes along with such a stressful process. If you need help in this area I recommend Mr. Allen, he will help you in anyway he can.
Mr. Allen handled a family court matter. He was thorough, professional and thoughtful. He was fairly priced, and achieved the results I sought. I could recommend no one better.
Chris and his staff are very professional and courteous. Chris listens and advises with a calming voice that puts our worries and decisions at ease regarding our estate planning. We would highly recommend his services.
Our family hired Chris to represent us in what was originally to be a simple probate case, as our father died without a will. It turned out a former employee filed suit against the estate. Upon advise of Chris, we immediately counter-filed. Because of the civil litigation, a nine to 12 month process turned into a year and a half battle with the other party. Chris and his staff went above and beyond to represent us, advise us, and appear for us as we live outside of Missouri. He defended us in the aforementioned civil action. With all the hours and work Chris and his staff invested into our case, we won. Not only did we win, but we won beyond expectations. Now that this civil action has been tried and concluded in our favor, Chris and staff can proceed with finalizing the probate activity. If you are looking for an attorney that will far exceed your expectations, Call Allen & Rector, P.C. to ask for Chris. You will not be disappointed with his representation for you regarding your case!

I hired Chris Allen for my criminal case. Mr. Allen reviewed my case, and met up with me for a consultation. I hired Mr. Allen on the spot. Mr. Allen knew exactly what he could do for me, he told me what could happen to the outcomes of my case. Mr. Allen was very sure he could help me and made that very clear. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to every aspect of the case, and still does additional research when necessary to stay on top of his and everybody else’s game. Mr. Allen is not only brilliant, but kind. Mr. Allen knows that he is working for you and that you are coming to him for help with your case. Mr. Allen takes your case with seriousness, care, and shows all the effort of his work by not only the outcome of his cases, but by his strive of determination that you can see on a daily basis. He truly has gone above and beyond what any other lawyer I know of would have gone for me or anybody else for that matter. I don’t write this to lie or to give false hope to somebody reading this. I write this to let you know, if you pick Chris Allen for your attorney, you will not be disappointed in your choices.
I hired Allen and Rector law offices to prosecute a suit in which a client failed to pay for services rendered. Chris Allen appointed two fantastic attorneys to my my case. Steven Patterson and Kayla Millsap were so pleasant to work with. Kayla has a such a sweet personality but I would not want to be cross examined by her. She is anything but sweet as she digs for the truth. Steven is well composed, keen and straightforward. Not only did they represent me well but they represent their team well. The smooth operation of everyone from Brenda at the front desk, Starla who's like a true detective and the crushing duo in the courtroom kept my mind at ease and of course won the case. I honestly could not have asked for more. Thank you all for everything.
Mr. Allen is a great divorce & child custody attorney, He has helped me retain full custody of my children. He has a good heart and will fight for you at all costs. I have nothing but great things to say about Mr. Allen and his team of professionals.
We hired Mr. Allen after he was recommended from a family member. We had a different kind of adoption that was contested on one side. Before Mr. Allen we had an attorney handle our guardianship every time I talked with her I felt unsecure. I called Allen and Rector. Immediately was set with an appointment over the phone with Mr. Allen. We talked for awhile, he calmed me down, answered every big and little question. Made us feel heard and addressed our worries. Through waiting for court every email and phone call for even the smallest of questions was answered. I never felt like a burden. His whole staff is amazing especially Starla. God really has gifted this office with amazing staff. Thank you all so much and 6 months down the line our dreams will come true and adoption will be complete thanks to Allen and Rector!
we have used Chris many times and we have never been disappointed. would recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney.
