Still received a ban

Up to the day of my hearing the service was great. The hearing did not go in our favour and Mr Allen pointed out to the court that they were incorrect.
My point is that Mr Allen explained that mine was a one in hundred case, but no provision is in place for such a small number for when this happens.
My money is taken, in full, and for me to see justice I have to pay the same AGAIN!
I am left out of pocket and with a ban. Been difficult to get hold of since!

Absolutely excellent service
Kieran is highly professional and always stayed in contact throughout. Made you feel more than just another customer on the list. I was fully confident with him representing me through out from start to finish. I’m going to say he is a gentleman of his word.

Driving under influence

Honestly a life saver. Job, life everything at risk and he managed to get the case thrown out of court 10 min before trial, what a beauty! I felt confident the whole way through and rightly so because Kieran Allen had it all dealt with.

Could not recommend a better person to have your back in the times of need.

Thank you Keiran.

Kieran and his team were amazing!

I was charged with 3 motoring offences which lead me to calling Kieran, I spoke to other solicitors and Kieran was by far the stand out solicitor and before even instructing Kieran to represent me, he was still always available giving me advice and support. I was reassured throughout the whole process and made sure I clearly understood the process. All possible outcomes were discussed with me based on evidence, circumstances etc and thanks to Kieran the case was dismissed on the day the trial was due to start, my only regret is not making the phone call sooner, as had I done that, I would have certainly been a lot less stressed from when the incident first happened. Would recommend Kieran/ Allen and Allen to anyone to get you the best possible outcome! Thanks again

Wholeheartedly I would like to truly thank Kieran Allen for the outstanding service I received and would highly recommend him to represent you on any case. From the beginning he was honest, authentic and was someone straight away I knew I could trust. This was a new and very overwhelming experience for me and from our first conversation, he spent nearly an hour on the phone with me, listening and understanding each aspect of my case to provide me with the best advice at no cost. After speaking to many other solicitors, Kieran was the only one who took the time to provide me with the reassurance that I had a case we could win and he worked tirelessly to make this happen. My case lasted over 6 months but Kieran was always calm, responsive, and I always had direct contact with him no matter the time or day of the week, he wanted to make sure I had the support I needed every step of the way. My case went to trial and Kieran was extremely well prepared and worked tenaciously against a difficult solicitor to grant me a not guilty verdict. Thank you so much for shaping my future and giving me my life back, I am eternally grateful.

Motoring matter

My experience with Allen&allen was amazing, i would like to say thank you to everyone who helped me with my case, espcially Kieran who was very hands on with my case and made sure i knew everything that was going on. I am a bit of a overthinker and not use to these expereinces so i was very scared of losing my licence or recieveing 10 points. However kieran made sure he was always available for me and made sure i was calm throughout this expereince. He got the case thrown out before the court date which is amazing. and belived in my case where other laywers were telling me to go gulity even though i was innocent, due to the circtumates of the case. So if your looking for a laywer who believes in you, tells you the truth and has a powerful team behind them. Kireran is your guy. Do not let the CPS say your gulity when you are not! there is a defence to every offcence.

Concise , through honest service.

Kiren Allen provided a true and honest service. Where other solicitors told me ai had to pay a full well rounded amount for the full process, with Kiren it was very different.

For example I was told we don't need a full amount, we will follow the process and if we can we can resolve the matter earlier then thats great so we don't need a figure.... wow. So I paid in instalments, this was the only solicitor that provided this service... it was less than half of others!!!!

On top of this it's the skills set of Allen & Allen solicitors. Specific amd second to none experience with driving situations especially.

I have used this company twice now due to the above. Also you can call ay anytime of a chat for long periods evening or weekend and not be charged. They are like a friend when you need them.

Such a great service

DRUG DRIVING CASE WON

First and foremost I would like to thank Mr Allen and his team for outstanding top class work I DEFINITELY recommend whatever your case scenario you talk to Mr Allen before even contemplating any other firm, he gives you a fair price unlike others and works tirelessly to achieve the outcome you desire I give him 10/10, my particular case lasted over a year in which I used other firms initially as I was unaware of Mr Allen until a friend told me about him, the other firms I used complicated matters to which I have had to attend court several times including a 1st hearing 2 case management hearing 3 trials as the prosecution were relentlessly trying to get the conconviction after everything when I felt that I couldn't win my case just when I was about to plead guilty I spoke to Mr Allen and he reviewed my case and told me simply have good faith trust me we have a very winnable case as he straight away looked at the evidence it was clear to see the police officer didn't give me my sample, Mr Allen was always responsive and calm and reassuring he told me exactly how it was and how we will go about achieving me keeping my licence as my family depends on me driving and driving is important for me to earn an income, during the 2nd Trial the court judges didnt give me a chance to give my evidence and tried to convict me Mr Allen was on the ball he called a mis trial and saved me from a lot hardship which me and my family would have suffered, I can't lie I messaged Mr Allen a lot to kept getting reassurance as I felt I was battling a loosing battle hats off to him he was very passionate and patient and always responsive I had direct communication to him throughout during 3rd he very shrewdly conVincent the prosecution to offer no evidence and I walked out of court with the biggest smile on my face 😀 he has also secured me defence cost order where I will get a vast majority of my solicitor fees back from central fund so win win for everyone! he has help play a part in shaping my future I'm internally greatful 11/10 in every department for ALLEN & ALLEN SOLICITORS.
