About Pamela Trachtman-Allen

I come from what you would call a “broken home.” My parents divorced before I was 2, which meant I grew up experiencing first-hand what I now know as “family law.” My parents lived in different states and from as early as I can remember, I boarded a plane every summer to go see my Dad. I watched as my Mom struggled to make it as a single mother, battling for child support before there were state guidelines. My parents did not do well at co-parenting, which I often felt the brunt of. As an adult, I gained the maturity to see things through each of my parent’s eyes, and I came to understand why things were so messy for them: At the heart of it all was their love for me. Before entering law school, my heart was calling me to family law. I wanted to be someone my clients could come to, confide in and know had their back. Often in contested family law matters, the person you trusted the most has now become your adversary. That can feel very lonely. I strive to make my clients feel safe, heard and supported throughout their case. My hope is that all parents can learn to co-parent together because it truly is what’s best for the children.

Hired Attorney

Pamela Allen was my wife’s attorney during our divorce, and based on my experience, her conduct was deeply troubling. Rather than working toward resolutions that would have served the best interests of the family, her actions appeared designed to escalate conflict, prolong litigation, and drive up fees. Throughout the case, her behavior felt self-serving and adversarial for the sake of billing, not progress. Matters that could have been resolved reasonably were instead inflamed, creating unnecessary stress, delay, and financial harm. At one point, communications and actions taken on her behalf crossed a line that I personally perceived as coercive and threatening. The situation escalated to the point where I felt compelled to file a police report to protect myself. No one going through an already painful divorce should have to experience that. The case overall felt crooked, unethical, and wildly imbalanced. Communication was poor, and accountability was nonexistent. A zero star…

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
