Mr. Allard and office staff were amazing from the first contact with them. They handled a difficult situation in my sons life with professionalism and truly seemed to care. Ms. Judy set us at ease from the first call and always followed up with us. It was apparent Mr. Allard was a very respected attorney in the court room and his guidance and experience in handling our situation ended in the best outcome possible. We are thankful to have found him!

When I went and saw Mr. James (Buddy) Allard I was in a bad place in life. Had lost my daughter months before and made some bad choices and was on a downward spiral when I got arrested. Was referred to him from a co-worker. He by far was the best lawyer I've met. As long as your honest and straightforward with him he will work hard and do his best for you period!! Not only will he do his best judicially but his positive outlook on life is awesome!! It's part of what changed my attitude and how I want to live the rest of my life out!! So if you need a great lawyer and someone you can trust rather than the other lawyers who just wants your money, then Buddy Allard is your man!! I give him 100 stars rather than 5!! Also his secretary Judy is very polite and extremely helpful!! Excellent Law Firm they have going!! Nothing but love for them!! God Bless!!

If you need it taken care of, these are your people!!

Buddy... Mr. Allard helped my daughter and I immensely. 100% down to the earth & goes the difference!

Today marked the last day of a long drawn out misdemeanor charge that happened to me last year and let me say, it ended with a win for me - not guilty. My first time ever having to hire a criminal defense attorney had me really worried and scared about who was going to really care about the case and genuinely help me. Punitively, I was looking at an unwanted conviction on my record, court fees, community service and a restricted license. I did my homework and finally decided to go with Buddy Allard and his staff. Buddy and his assistant Judy J called me in for a sit down meeting to hear my side of the story and started working from there instantaneously. I felt a great deal of confidence with Buddy and his team and wouldn't recommend anyone else in the New Hanover County. If theres anyone that can truly help you in a defense case to give you the best possible outcome, it's Buddy. The level of professionalism was spectacular and all of my charges were dropped effortlessly. Good luck out there!

Buddy Allard has just represented me in a matter that certainly could have had a variety of outcomes. Through the process I found him to be an articulate, knowledgeable and convincing courtroom lawyer. Utilizing these skills and his competitive attitude he was able to get me the very best outcome possible and I am most appreciative.

Recently my husband needed representation and from the very first moment we met with Buddy Allard he had both of us at ease and had us feeling confident that he was going to do everything he said he would. And he did. He's a straight shooter, not just about your case, but about life as well. He gave us all of the possible scenarios so we wouldn't be surprised by anything, but also told us how he planned on handling it and what he would do to get us the best possible outcome. He did exactly that, and it was worth every penny spent. Hopefully we'll never need another attorney but if we do we'll never use anyone other than Mr. Allard, and we'll recommend him to anyone we know.

I had the misfortune of needing legal representation in the Wilmington area recently. I asked a childhood friend of mine, who also happens to be a lawyer, if he could recommend someone who could help me with my particular need. Without batting an eye he recommended Hewlett, Collins and Allard. Within minutes of meeting Mr. Allard, I knew I had made the correct decision. Anyone who has found themselves having to deal with legal issues can agree that it can be an extremely dehumanizing experience, and sometimes that begins with the hiring of a lawyer. Not so with Hewlett, Collins and Allard. Mr. Allard and his staff (this means you Judy!) treated me with dignity and respect from the moment i walked into their office and subsequent visits and phone calls until my case was satisfactorily resolved. These gentlemen have been practicing law in New Hanover County for a long time, and, in my opinion you could not make a better choice for your legal representation. I cannot recommend them strongly enough.

RE: James "Buddy" Allard Jr. Almost a year ago I found myself facing charges that were detrimental to my career and my life. After considerable online research, I chose to consult with Mr. Allard. Within moments of the first meeting I was impressed with his professional demeanor and his inherent ability for strategic thinking. I retained him for my case and could not be happier that I did. His skill and ability in the courtroom went unmatched. Outside of court, he helped give me the confidence to keep pressing forward. It's not often anymore that we meet people of truly genuine character, Buddy is one of few. I highly recommend him!

Mr. Allard was great and easy to work with! I went to court a little over a year for a DWI And he got my case dismissed and provided excellent service and overall the cost was reasonable and worth every cent!!

Buddy Allard did a fantastic job! He was very courteous and helpful and always easy to get in contact with. He helped me get my DWI dismissed and provided excellent overall service.

Mr. Allard did a great job representing me. Got me the absolute best outcome possible in my case. Very kind, likeable, knowledgeable, and connected. Without a doubt, the services I paid for were 100% worth every penny. Not just Mr. Allard, but Mr. Collins and the rest of the staff that I had an opportunity to meet were all very nice, easy to talk to, and helpful.
