Testimonials
"From my first day on the job, I have been treated as a member of the Allen family."
– Barbara Sensabaugh, Allen & Allen claims consultant
"Ironically, one of my proudest moments at the firm predated my employment here. In 1993, I was working for a criminal law firm in downtown Richmond. As a professional courtesy an attorney from Allen &Allen called our firm while our personal injury client was in their office getting a second opinion. After talking with a lawyer at my firm at the time, the Allen & Allen attorney explained to our client the medical payments reductions were reasonable and fair. Of course, Allen & Allen didn't receive any compensation, but our client was reassured. Allen & Allen did the right thing."
– Howard C. Lee, III, Allen & Allen litigation legal assistant.
("Lee" also is a United States Air Force reservist and serves as the law office manager for the 459th Air Refueling Wing at Andrews AFB in Maryland.)
