Mr. Allen is very patient, understanding, and knowledge in his practice of trust and real estate litigation. My brother and I came to him when a dispute arose over a trust and a property after our mother's death, and Mr. Allen's litigation and support staff took care of the whole thing. I would most definitely recommend to anyone looking for a trust/real estate/ probate attorney in Sonoma County because Mr. Allen is really the best!

As an experienced attorney myself, I know Jeff Allen to be a highly competent and ethical lawyer who strives hard to get the best results for his clients. I also know that he is well versed in numerous areas of law and will only work on matters that he feels confident he can provide a good service. I would not hesitate to recommend Jeff Allen.

Jeff Allen represented my husband in an elder abuse case. My husband's 98 year old aunt had her homes and money stolen by a neighbor. My husband, as sole heir, was initially told he had no case. But when Jeff saw our evidence he knew something was wrong. He discovered that not only was the neighbor involved but also a financial planner and others. Final award was $2.1 million. Jeff was completely professional, thorough and kept us informed through the entire process. I highly recommend Jeff and will obviously hire him again if needed in the future.

After reading the negative review from a Tara Wood on this site, I feel compelled to repound to this completely false picture of Jeffery Allen.
Jeff and I worked together on a very complicated and difficult elder abuse case for over a year in which we finally prevailed in being awarded a substantial settlement.
As the plaintive in this case, and without exception, I found Jeffery Allen to be professional, attentive, honest is his opinions, instantly available, and the most efficient attorney that I have had the pleasure of working with in all my years of working with other attorneys. ( I am 80

I have personally known Jeff Allen as a practicing attorney for 30 years. Jeff has assisted me with personal legal issues as well as with conflicts in my Northern California businesses (medical billing and healthcare IT consulting). Jeff practices with integrity and the highest of ethical standards. He is efficient with his time and is cost-effective. Jeff counsels well and in my experience thoroughly explored settlement prior to a lawsuit being filed. When in litigation, he has been an aggressive, highly skilled litigator who is not afraid to stand up to the big guy. He has always given me 100
