also known as Jim Allen
I enjoy serving my clients, and helping them solve their problems using legal tools.
I have been in practice since 1993, and am licensed and admitted to practice in the State and Federal Courts of Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC. I am an experienced advocate and expert problem solver, and I very much enjoy serving my clients.
I have experience in a variety of legal areas, including contracts, personal injury (motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death, workers compensation, FELA), employment, procurement, business / corporate, compliance, employment, litigation, real estate / construction, and intellectual property.
I have handled matters throughout all of Maryland, Virginia, and DC, as well as the greater Mid-Atlantic region as a whole. After more than 22 years practicing in the region, I have a wide network of referrals for those matters which I cannot handle.

Mr. Allen was hired by my sister and myself in 2015 about a negligence case towards Residence Inn in Springfield, Virginia. After faxing to his office the necessary documents in 2016, I have yet to hear from him about my case. Before contacting Avvo, I called several times, left a message, and he sti...

After my husband was "let go," for bogus reasons, Jim helped us sort through the mire of Virginia's "At Will" issues and make the best decision possible for our situation. He helped us find a balanced position when we were still reeling and unsteady from losing my mother 2 weeks before. When the qu...

That is exactly what he gave me - peace of mind and resolution to a very traumatic situation I was in. I was impressed with his demeanor, knowledge, patience, professionalism and take charge approach. He constantly kept me informed and updated through out the process and went above and beyond what ...

Jim has always exhibited a high degree of professionalism in every contact I have had with him. If something is out of his area of expertise, his referrals have been of the highest level of expertise. I can't think or consider seeking legal counsel from anyone else.

I had recently employed Mr. allen as legal counsel in a rather time-sensitive and high-impact personal legal matter. My personal understanding of the legal implications was cloudy, at best. Mr. Allen took complete control of the situation, outlined all of the immediate options available to me, as w...
"Jim Allen is an excellent litigator and highly recommended. He cares about his clients; knows the law; understands local state and federal courts; and, most importantly, is a zealous and intelligent advocate for his clients."
"In all my years of practice I have never met a lawyer who is better in his feet in a courtroom or better at forging a real connection with a jury. He is well prepared and articulate. Many litigators are, but Jim excels at reading a jury, understanding what they want to hear, and making them identify and sympathize with his client. Any client who has Jim beside him in court is very fortunate."
