"Went above and beyond"
Joe Linehan and the team at Allen | Fischer did a wonderful job representing me. They were really involved and very personable to work with. They gladly took on my case and went out of their way to meet with me on their lunch hour and went above and beyond to make sure I was well represented and won my case. Kudos to the A|F team.- John M. -
"Very helpful"
Matt Fischer helped me with my divorce paperwork. I was working without an attorney and just had some general questions about the paperwork. He was very helpful and offered to help with any follow-up questions I had.- Shelley M. -
"Outstanding job"
Robin Schmal did an outstanding job with my child custody case. She was very quick at getting our case completed with the courts. Prepared all of our documents in a timely manner. Kept us informed on what was happening. Explained everything we had questions about. Gave us great recommendations on how to proceed. I recommend her hands down and would gladly bring her on again! She truly went above and beyond any of the other Spokane attorneys I have worked with.- Katie M. -
"Outstanding advocate"
Dena Allen is a joy to work with. She was a calm, methodical, and tenacious advocate for me. She clearly had my best interests and those of my two children at heart. Dena helped me navigate the fastest way to gain legal and financial autonomy from my adulterous ex-spouse in the most cost-effective and efficient way available. She was a steadfast guide from our first consultation all the way through to the final divorce decree. Dena is patient, thoroughly explains factors involved, and responds quickly to emails. Her office staff is supportive, and it is clear that people work as a team. I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so.- Former Client
