Law Offices of Dan Allan & Associates - Anchorage, AK

Dan Allan is a joke of an attorney. He has disappointed multiple times in the course of my case due to poor communication and organization between me, himself, and his staff. He failed to submit notice of representation until ONE DAY before my first scheduled hearing, despite multiple communications prior to that day. This resulted in the hearing being pushed back on an urgent matter that should not have been delayed. Then, he continued to charge me for multiple phone calls and "services" due to extension of my case for a mistake HE created. On another hearing date, he notified me that the case had again been delayed. I was at work and got a call from their office that the case was happening and I needed to phone in right then to be present by phone! I had even double checked with Dan that the hearing was not going to occur earlier that morning. I had originally had the entire day off work to plan and meet with Dan to review things prior to the hearing. When I arrived via telephone, Dan was completely unprepared - it was as if he hadn't even looked at my file at all!! The court did not rule in my favor and now my case has been further delayed. I then promptly informed him after the hearing that I no longer required his services - I could have done a better job representing myself! He argued with me as to why I felt the way I did. He has still failed to send me the necessary paperwork to sign and has not withdrawn representation, resulting in further delays in my case. This has been a complete nightmare! This man has lost his ability to recall important information and in my opinion needs to retire. He is terrible - don't rely on him!

Dan did a magnificent job representing me in my recent divorce. His expertise in the law proved to be astounding. Obviously, I was amazed as I witnessed Dan "play his cards" expertly, one by one. The result was that we garnered what we went to trial for. For a moment I perceived I was watching a wisened country lawyer who needed very few notes or visual aids to thoroughly present our case under the law. Dan is a Combat Vet and he provides a generous discount for all Veterans. This is the gentleman that Dan is and I recommend him 100%.
