Employee Quotes:

"Having been in the work force for 20 years working for several different medical practices, I can say that AAAA has the best corporate culture I have experienced. Their benefits have far exceeded any other company I have worked for. One of the benefits includes tuition reimbursement, which I have taken advantage of while working on my Master's degree. The health insurance benefits are exceptional. I only have to contribute 10% of the premium each month. At previous employers I had to pay 25% or more. I truly love the atmosphere at AAAA and my position as legal assistant. The management and staff are the best I have worked with I feel honored to be a part of the AAAA team."

"I have worked for Allen & Allen for 6 years, after deciding that my commute to Charlottesville every day to work was just too much.  I was really nervous about giving up a job that I  loved to take one in an unfamiliar place.   I am happy to say that I have never once regretted my decision to accept a job at the Allen Law Firm, where everyone is treated like one big family.  That concept extends beyond employees to clients.  I am proud to work for a firm with such high standards for client care and service. 

The technical support and training made available to us is the best I have ever found in a workplace.

For me, not only did the benefits package meet my expectations, but shortly after my elderly mother came to live with me, the firm began to offer flexible work hours and I was given a shift that is just perfect for my personal situation."

"Having worked for several law firms in the Central Virginia area, the generosity of Allen and Allen is unparalleled.  Strong in community activism and the "paying it forward" credo, I am privileged to be a member of this awesome team.  The recent promotion of Hometown Heroes (in celebration of the firm's 100th birthday), The George E. Allen Scholarship Award, The Legal Food Frenzy and United Way of Greater Richmond are just a few examples of the firm's commitment to giving back.  Notwithstanding the firm's mission, "aggressive advocacy for the rights of injured persons consistent with the highest professional standards and maximum client satisfaction," Allen and Allen is an exemplary leader not only in assisting those who have been injured through no fault of their own, but everyone in the community."

"I joined AAA&A in 2002 after retiring from a long career in the travel industry.  Since my professional background had not included law office experience, I wasn't sure if I would be a desirable hire for the firm.  My computer skills were weak but AAA&A gave me the confidence to embrace my apprehension about working on a computer and helped me develop my skills by offering training classes and providing encouragement and support.

I feel extremely fortunate to work for a family oriented law firm that actually embraces a work/life balance.  AAA&A truly cares for their clients and values their trust in the firm.  As an employee of AAA&A, I have the satisfaction of knowing I am part of a team of professionals who help people every day.  Our firm contributes generously to charitable events as well their involvement in the many communities throughout Virginia where our offices are located.

AAA&A provides benefits for their employees that are unheard of these days, even in larger companies.  This combined with many other attributes makes our firm a top notch company to work for."

"Thirty years is a long time to work at one place and I have witnessed many changes: office expansion, major increase in staff size and huge technological advances.

Throughout the years one thing has remained constant-Allen and Allen's recognition that its people make the company successful. The firm's goal of providing excellent client service is consistent with the firm's emphasis on staff development. Training does not stop one week after hire; educational sessions are ongoing with relevant classes/roundtables offered on a monthly basis as well as the prospect to attend relevant seminars outside the office.

The Firm's core value that continual education is beneficial not only to our clients but also to its employees in their own professional development is what sets us apart."
