"I had the honor of working with Attorney Allegra Carpenter during a difficult, very public and politically driven EEO claim. Allegra was kind, sensitive, and worked endless hours on my behalf. Due to Allegra’s dedication, hard work, and countless efforts, my claim was finalized, and my settlement came to fruition. Allegra is passionate, honest, and trustworthy! I would recommend Allegra to anyone who needs an attorney! "

-Terri Thornberry

"If you are looking to find legal counsel with both expertise and heart, look no further. Allegra Carpenter listens, closely, to your concerns, and responds with compassion and a full acknowledgement of the difficult experience you have been through that led you to speak with her. You are not just another client with Allegra – she remembers you, your difficulties and responds with integrity and honesty. She will passionately fight for you when your rights under the law have been violated. If you want an attorney who will be honest, effective, have your back, and just be an all-around stellar individual, Allegra is that attorney. "

"I can't say enough about Allegra. Although nothing can bring my sister back, Allegra brought us justice. Allegra was willing to take on our case, which other lawyer had rejected due to its challenges, and championed my sister's cause against multiple powerful entities and individuals. Allegra always believed in us and went the extra mile to explore every legal and factual avenue to success. She believes strongly about changing bad and dangerous practices to make the world a better, safer place for everyone. She is a true warrior."
