Mr. Lee Allen is a wonderful lawyer. I feel like he really understood what I was going through. He was kind, caring and compassionate. Just knowing that he was representing me, it took away my stress. I don’t know if I would have gotten a positive outcome without him. I hope I never need a lawyer again but if I do, I will definitely call Mr. Allen.

Mr. Allen represented me in my separation/divorce and ED. I cannot praise and thank him and his legal assistant, Ellen, enough!They went above and beyond to help me win my case. If you ever need a divorce lawyer, I highly recommend him and his assistant. He is well worth the money! God bless!

I could not have asked for better representation. I hired Mr. Allen after I had complicated my divorce case by following some bad advice from another attorney. Mr. Allen made a succinct assessment of my situation and clearly explained my options moving forward with the case. The case very was complicated and took over three and half years to conclude. Mr. Allen’s professionalism and dedication during this endeavor are to be commended. He continued to press the case forward when repeated attempts at mediation failed due to my uncooperative former spouse’s attempts to delay the case. Mr. Allen left no stone unturned in gathering evidence in the case. He poured through a mountain of records that were allowed into evidence at the last minute during my divorce trail. I think this was the key to the positive outcome of my case and I greatly appreciate his efforts in spending the extra time analyzing the information to better support the facts in the case. Mr. Allen is an honest and trustworthy gentleman that treats everyone with respect. Ms. Mumford was also very instrumental in keeping the records organized and keeping me on track. I have and will continue to recommend Mr. Allen to others that may need his services.

Mr. Allen is very thorough and very detailed. He will go above and beyond the extra mile for his clients. He has a great sense of humor and is very genuine with everyone. His paralegal Ellen is the best. I would recommend them to anyone that had any type of issue.

I can’t say enough about Mr. Allen and his paralegal, Ellen. I came to Mr. Allen seeking help with obtaining full custody of my child. He was thorough, patient, and assertive throughout our meetings and when we went to court proceedings. He had my child’s best interest at heart and understood the importance of having him in a stable, safe environment and did not stop until it was done. I would recommend him to anyone seeking marital and custodial counsel/advice.

Lee Allen is tough, down to Earth, and logical. He does not make snap decisions in the heat of the moment. When I wanted him to do something that he believed was not in my best interest, he spent an hour explaining why. And he convinced me not to do it.

Mr. Allen responded quickly and strategically to each of these problems. Throughout this entire process he was an honorable and trustworthy person who represented me well. His unwavering perseverance and expertise ensured a successful outcome. I am extremely grateful to him for everything and I sincerely recommend him as an attorney.
