My name is Geoffrey D. Allen and I have more than 33 years of legal experience helping people resolve their legal challenges in a timely, efficient and cost-effective manner. As an attorney authorized to practice law in England as well as in the District of Columbia, I have been equipped by my experience abroad with a wide range of law techniques. These enable me to examine and resolve your case from a unique perspective and different angles.

My practice revolves around zealously protecting the rights and interests of those who have been brutalized, who have been treated unfairly by institutions or who have suffered personal injury due to others’ carelessness. I accept personal injury cases on a “contingency fee” basis, which means my clients pay me nothing unless I obtain monetary compensation for them.

No nonsense Attorney
Me. Allen assisted me after being in a car accident. He helped me get over 3x as much as I would have gotten alone. He was efficient, effective and very driven. I barely did a thing and he took care of it all! Highly recommend Geoffrey Allen for your legal needs!

Auto Accident
Mr. Allen is an immaculate attorney. He's very detail oriented, very knowledgeable, and has the most professional staff I've ever encountered. Mr. Allen and his team kept me informed every step of the way, and made everything so streamlined that I didn't have to worry about anything. He handled my claim with extreme precision and in a timely manner. He works very hard for his clients to ensure they get the very best from him individually and collectively. This isn't my first time working with Mr. Allen and his staff. Needless to say I can never see myself going anywhere else for consults or see anyone else handling any of my legal matters. He's and his staff are super awesome.

"I would recommend Geoffrey Allen Esq!"
My lawyer did a wonderful job! I was in a car accident a year ago where I had been parked at a traffic light. A car slammed into me from behind at 50 miles an hour. I had very bad neck and back injuries plus was in a lot of pain. When I met Mr Allen, he took charge immediately to get to my insurance company to pay the necessary bills, found the police report and the other driver at fault. He handle all the things that I was not well enough to do. He made excellent recommendations and was knowledgeable on the law. Jennifer his assistant was on top of her game. She took all my calls and handled the bills from the doctors. When ever I called the office, they took care of my needs right of way. Selena another assistant staff was also polite and kind at all times. I would highly recommend this law firm and Geoffrey Allen Esq, his staff and services to anyone who needs to have justice! He did a terrific job.

An outstanding attorney
Mr Allen is great at what he does. He took my case when no other attorneys would, and we won by the way. He kept me very aware every step of the way. His paralegal Jennifer is the best very sweet, caring, and willing to go the extra mile to get tasks done. I couldn't have found better representation for my case. THANK YOU Geo and Jen. May God continue to bless you both!

Best Attorney in the area!
Mr. Allen represented me for a car accident case and was a great help and really cared about my case. Mr. Allen and his assistant are the best people to work with in the area. He is well respected and the best man to know. He makes you feel like family and I would recommend everyone to Mr. Allen if they needed an attorney.

Fantastic Personal Injury Lawyer!
Mr. Allen is a fantastic attorney! He represented me in a complicated auto accident case and I was extremely satisfied with the end result. Mr. Allen always had time to talk to me when I had questions and took away the stress and frustration that comes with dealing with auto insurance companies. If the need for a personal injury attorney ever arises, he'll be my my first phone call! I would highly recommend Mr. Allen for any personal injury matter!!

He was very understanding and devoted! He was unlike any other lawyer that I have ever had in civil or criminal and he is a family based lawyer. He is straight to the point. He is the kind of lawyer I would highly recommend to anyone.
