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.

Mr. Allard and his colleagues go above and beyond to ensure you get the best possible outcome no matter what the case may be. I recommend their services for any problems you may come across.

John Collins was very professional throughout our entire experience with him. He explained everything in detail so we understood what was going on with the case. Every time we called in with a question we were taken care of with no problem at all, and if he wasn't available we were responded to promptly. Most ideal experience I've had with a lawyer, he is very easy to talk with and understanding. I would highly recommend Mr. Collins for anything you need help with!

I have known John Collins and his team for years and they have always gone above and beyond to make sure I receive the best possible service and ultimately the best possible outcome.
