I had just moved…read moreback to the Gainesville area and thankfully had a friend who has used Allen Law Firm refer me to their services. The initial meeting was very smooth and the legal representatives like Faith and Ashley who is a paralegal was very comforting and made me feel at ease. I was still in a lot of pain due to being rear ended by a truck and just still shaken up. The team guided me to Medig for physical therapy and treatment which over the next several month, I consisted visited and did the exercises given. Ashley stayed in contact via text and phone - which made me feel like they really cared for me and my wellbeing. With the consistent check ins, Allen Law Firm really took the time to put the client aka me first. After a year, I can finally say everything settled and worked in my favor. This law firm really did the work and not only advised me properly, with their professionalism and legal expertise - I highly recommend using this law firm!

I saw that someone else said they are very rude and I can confirm that is very true, unfortunately. We ended up dropping this firm just for these reasons. People are clients because they are going through a hard time. It's really bad how they treat their clients. Rush sounds nice, but again there's no follow through and his ladies are very hard to work with.

I called for a consult and was underwhelmed. He sounded distracted and distant, with only vague…read moreresponses and non-answers. I had a list of questions and he didn't know the answers to some of the most basic ones. He suggested I needed to get a lawyer. Um...that's literally why I was calling.

Unbelievably there was no air-conditioning in the building on a 95 degree day. The receptionist was…read morein a sleeveless shirt with a fan directed on her to keep cool. It was uncomfortably hot! After an hour and a half drive to get there, I was directed to go to MacDonalds down the street, to use the bathroom as they reported had no "public bathroom." Attorney Massey was slumped in his chair and had on very casual clothes and no shoes. He did not stand to greet me and when I reached my hand out to introduce myself, he seemed almost shocked and I had to stretch across the desk to shake hands with him. His son about age 9 interrupted the meeting two times, bringing ice cream the first time and demanding to eat it. He argued with his son for about two minutes and didn't get out of his chair to escort his son out of the meeting and there was no apology for the interruption. The boy came back moment later asking for the location of a toy and more discussion. I wouldn't have minded the interruption, as I am a working parent, if he had taken action to escort his son out and had used the event as a teaching moment for his son rather than just an argument. The "free" consultation (as it says on the sign out front) cost $25 dollars. I was told about the fee on the phone when I made the appointment, but take the "free" off the sign. He was not interested in my case as he did not think he could win it and it would not bring him enough money at only being about $45,000 to $50,000. I had prepared multiple documents which he never looked at, he just wanted "my story" My first complaint was about being fired due to age discrimination and he never even asked what my age was. He directed me to file that with the state of Florida. There are many good reviews on this man so maybe he was having a bad day. My Dad was the senior trial lawyer for Liberty Mutual for decades and he never would have shown such an unprofessional face. Attorney Massey's advice may have been appropriate, I have no idea, but what I saw was an total lack of professionalism in a man who seemed totally disinterested in meeting me from the moment I walked into the building. Very odd and not what I expected.

My boyfriend got his first two speeding tickets (he got a new car and wasn't used to being able to…read morego fast lol). He was mainly concerned about not getting points on his license or having to complete traffic school. Attorney Straile managed to avoid that on both of his speeding tickets. Although, in the end, the monetary cost is higher when you add up the legal fees on top of the ticket costs, it achieved the primary goal. Mr. Straile's office was very professional and kept us up to date on everything. Thank you, Mr. Straile.

I called Straile's office because I am from out-of-state. The secretary said the lawyer would "fight for my case" and charged me $119. But in fact, the lawyer just pled no contest on day of hearing, not even a hearing was conducted, AND I was ordered to pay the full ticket PLUS $106 court cost! I would be OK if I lost my case in a hearing, but Straile did zero work of substance in my representation. Terrible business ethic, avoid like the plague.
