Dan Allen won my custody case. It was an overwhelming and scary experience but he guided me through it. He was patient and easy to work with. The case was moved to Kenai and he still did a great job. He and his staff have been available for all of my follow up questions and any concerns Ive had with visitation. I moved here from out of state and am so lucky that his name was recommended to me - as I didnt know any attorneys and have never been involved in any legal proceedings. Im very grateful to know that I can keep my son safe, healthy, and happy thanks to him!!

Dan Allen has been a humble and carrying professional through my entire process of dealing with the court system, his steady manner and strong resolve has always led to smart council. His word is always held accountable and I appreciate the man,the myth, and the legend Dan Allen for his wisdom about how to make the law work for me. Thanks again Dan God bless

We did not achieve the outcome we hoped for. However, it was an honor and a pleasure working with Mr. Allan. We admire and respect his wealth of legal knowledge, tempered with great compassion for people and a focus on quality of life. Its refreshing to work with someone unwilling to compromise their ethical and moral standards. We remain grateful for his help. Carmie and Peggy Gilbert

I watched my son get the worst representation by this firm in a custody battle. He was able to initially establish a good outcome- probably because my granddaughters mother was off the rails in the most serious sense - but his first lawyer resigned the firm and he was left with ill prepared lawyers to fight for his subsequent battles . The ill efforts of the firm has resulted in extreme distress and emotional hardship for his daughter . My granddaughters drug abusing mother garnered more unsupervised visitation under the legal advise of this firm. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS FIRM - THERE ARE SO MANY BETTER LAWYERS WHO WILL STAY THE COURSE AND MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CHILREN ARE PROTECTED !

Bait and switched. Told me he had my case in hand. In truth, he never handled it at all, handed the case to someone with no experience. Never showed to the hearings. I lost everything. If I could make it a lower rating I would. Single worst legal experience of my life.

DO NOT HIRE DAN OR ANYONE FROM THIS LAW OFFICE. If I could give a lower star rating I would. I hired Dan to take care of my divorce case while I was deployed in Afghanistan. During the initial consultation Dan did a VERY good job of making me feel like I was going to be very well taken care of. As soon as he got my money I NEVER heard from him or anyone in his office unless I repeatedly called over and over. The case still wasnt resolved by the time I got back from deployment (which was fine) so I showed up in person on the final court hearing and NO ONE from his office even showed up!! And they assured me that I wouldnt be alone in that courtroom!!! I honestly dont know what service I even paid for other than the simple filing of divorce papers!! After the case was resolved I had to call his office every single day for almost 2 months to get the remainder of my retainer back. By the time they finally cut me a check, they had slapped another $400 in charges on there. I am MORE THAN DISAPPOINTED with the service I was given and I wouldnt recommend ANYONE to this law office for any sort of legal representation. Dan Allan and his associates are unprofessional and an embarrassment to the legal services industry. If you value your money and the service it buys, please for the love of god go somewhere other than this office. Do yourself and everyone else a favor and spread the word about them too, no one should have to receive the service I did for the amount of money I paid.

Dan Allen and his staff have been very helpful and knowledgeable whenever Ive needed advice. I have always been able to get in touch with Dan. If he isnt in the office hes usually in court and Ill get a follow up call promptly. His staff also seems very family with all things legal. I can get advice from anyone I speak to. I had Dan personally take of the first half of my custody case. Later, I had Kris take over and I was blown away with how thorough and knowledgeable Kris was. He filed motions so much faster than the opposition. My exs lawyer took weeks to file motions, while Kris took only hours. I would highly recommend Kris, and Dan to represent you in any case! Also, the price has been very appropriate. Good luck finding someone else who works this hard. Thank you Dan and Kris, your whole firm has helped me so much.

I called the first time for a consultation about divorce. The lady I spoke with sounded like a ditsy blonde and made it all sound so easy with a 'oh, yeah. You got him.' Divorce isn't that easy so I didn't use them. I called another time for an issue with my minor son and criminal charges. I spoke with Dan Allan this time who pretty much told me to pay the retainer and he would see what he could do. Uh...no. I went to Denali Law Group for a free consult and the lawyer was so great. He took an hour of his time and went over all 3 various legal issues I had. I walked away not needing his services and he told me what I needed to do to fix the main issue I was dealing with and gave me steps for the others before I had to go back. That is what I expect from an attorney. Some one who looks out for me and my family, not their own wallets. Don't go here.

I hired Dan Allan to represent me in my divorce/custody case but Immediately after receiving my retainer he assigned an attorney who was fresh out of law school named Larissa Hail. Since my case was very complicated and had many different issues that had to be addressed I assumed that someone who knew what they were doing was going to represent me, I was wrong! She never returned my calls or emails and when she finally did it was only after I would write an email stating how dissatisfied I was with the way she was handling my case! After several motions were filed with wrong information on them due to her not allowing me to read through them before filing them and the lack of communication on her part I eventually had to take a deal I was totally unhappy with just so I could get some kind of visitation with my daughter! I had evidence proving everything I was saying was the truth and that what he was saying was not true but she refused to file anything I had and the very few things she did finally file were the things that were not even worth filing! If you need an attorney that will be on your side and want to get the most out of the money you have to pay then look elsewhere cause this firm is not looking out for what is in your best interest at all! At the price of $295 and $395 per hour you should get something more than a fresh out of law school no nothing attorney who cant even return a call or bother to get information on motions filed with the court correct!

I would seriously give lower if I could. Dan passed me on to 3 of his assistant lawyers and they were all fresh out of school. I basically had to defend myself in court because the lawyers spoke like idiots. In addition, Larissa Hail almost never contacted me and I feel like I was bugging them to take care of my case which I paid in advance. All my cases we're pretty cut and dry and I even told them what I wanted to happen yet I got 0 results.

Horrible law firm. I had a consultation with Dan, who seemed knowledgeable, but was later and unbeknownst to me assigned a totally different lawyer who retired in the middle of my case, upon which I got a newbie who didn't know anything. Not only did I lose, but in an agreed upon shared custody agreement in mediation, I somehow lost even that by bad filing and representation. Absolutely do not hire this firm. Horrible experience, and I'm seven years down the road just writing this review to warn other people.

Do NOT use this company. The do not put any effort into helping their clients, they didn't do any leg work in verifying my dads financials at all along with no contact to his lawyer. Not only did they drag it out, not return calls or emails but they also had multiple area's of incorrect information on the divorce papers and everything they needed was provided. Obviously they don't proof read. It took them over 2 months to provide a divorce decree with the seal so financials could be settled. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. BBB and the Bar Association will also be contacted about this businesses poor service.

My uncle was represented by this law firm and their lawyers don't even represent him properly. The cost was way over-priced for not doing a fair job. This law office should call quite. Don't recommend to anyone! Poor performance in the courtroom and outside the courtroom.

Do not, I repeat DO NOT go through this firm. The lawyers here only care about money, not you. They lied to me and made me over pay for services I didnt ask for. They overcharged me and did not provide me with all documents I was supposes to be given after the case was closed. My lawyer was rude and would not fight for me. They would only respond when I had a payment due but would never answer any other questions. There are better attorneys for better prices that will not rip you off.

Forgot to file important paperwork prolonging the issue, rushed custody agreement left a lot of things out like holidays, vacations etcetera... other things that were omitted made the divorce agreement difficult to follow and now I have to go back to court.

Would give lower if possible. The people who worked with us were rude, hard to get ahold of, unless they needed money. They didn't even send the lawyer we had worked with, into court to represent us. The person there had no clue and didn't care. We paid over $6,000, and got nothing close to that in return. Obviously, we lost.
