They really eased my concerns dealing with bills and worked tirelessly to solve problems that arose so that my only worry was healing. Not only were they good at what they do in the legal sense, they also showed they cared. They always asked how we were feeling and interactions always felt so genuine! It really felt like family. I don't want anyone to go through something where you'd need a lawyer, but if you do, I would highly recommend FFP :)

He was very supportive throughout, as this was my first time working with a legal team, so he made sure I understood each step of the process.

I would recommend this firm to anyone who needs legal support.

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!

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.

They took a large sum of money from me. Gave me the run around for over a year then told me they couldn't take my case because the contract was in a different state. Told me they would refund my money. That was in October of 2023. Told me they had problems with the mail. Yet to this day I have not been paid back. Now they have blocked my number. Do yourself a favor and run far away from this company. They are thieves and look up what others say about them at the better business bureau. They were supposed to help me, but all they did was steal from me. I have given them ample time to pay me, yet they choose not to refund my money.

He was available when I needed him and this was a great comfort during my legal dispute. He excels in negotiation and knows how to read people. He successfully negotiated a finance bill cutting it in half. He technically paid for himself, I wasn't out any money by retaining his services. What I did get (as well), was peace of mind, which was priceless. There was a time when I was in need (legal protection) and he physically drove 30 minutes out of his way immediately, to resolve the dispute. And he knew exactly what to do to make the transaction run smoothly. I learned, when you are in a crisis and you cannot think straight because of stress, Dr. Fields [lawyer] is the best person to seek advice. He had my best interest at heart and fought to make it happen. And it did. Thank you! My life was definitely impacted in a good way by retaining his services and I am thankful I was personally referred to him. I would seek him again, in the future, if I need to. - Michelle H.
