Evan Allen | Alexandria Bankruptcy Lawyer

While I'd like to think I make a difference for all my clients, my favorite cases are pro bono. One in particular I can remember was a chapter 7 bankruptcy case for a 73 year old women, who after the 341 hearing, cried and gave me a huge hug. It was well worth the time.

All success comes with hard work and determination. A successful practice develops in stages as the attorney grows, but you have to keep going, never letting grass grow under your feet.

Clients are often under the misconception that tough or mean attorneys are best. In my opinion, it's the opposit. A good attorney has to be a good mediator and communicator. Impasse created by a "tough" attorney's personality only creates more cost to the client.

Local knowledge, in regard to law is important procedurally. If you have to constantly look up the local procedures, your wasting you clients money. Local knowledge regarding the culture and demographics of your community is of course important to any successful business. Know the community your servicing.

After understanding the potential client's situation, I will consult them on what steps are needed to achieve their goals, whether it be divorce, bankruptcy or estate planning. If I can't answer your question on the phone, I will follow up with later correspondence.

You need to know how to address and solve the problem your facing with precise answers.

Happy clients help me stay in business and continue practicing law.

Traveling; I work to travel with my wife. My bulldog; doesn't get much better than walking this guy around old town on a warm day. A good steak dinner.

I live and work in old town, Alexandria, Va and get involved in as much social and charitable activities as my schedule allows. It's a charming city.
