For more than 110 years, our attorneys and staff have been inspired by those in the community who make Virginia a great place to live and work. That’s why each year, we share the stories of the Hometown Heroes that generate positive change in our community and in the lives of others.
A community is so much more than just a group of people: it’s the spirit we create when we work together with our neighbors to help one another. Everywhere in Virginia are individuals who are driven to volunteer, motivate, create, and donate to their hometowns. We call these special people Hometown Heroes.
“We find our lives in spending them in the service of others.”
-George Allen Sr., founder of the Allen Law Firm.
To celebrate our 100th Anniversary in 2010, Allen & Allen recognized outstanding members of the communities we serve who embody and demonstrate the ideals of service and action that our firm was founded upon. Honoring dedicated Virgnians was so fulfilling and uplifting for both our firm and community that it became an annual event.
The summer of 2024 is the 15th anniversary of Hometown Heroes. We have honored over 550 individuals since the program started in 2010!
