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.

James Aaron Allen or James Allen
In spite of my repeated requests, James Allen hardly returned my calls or replied to my e-mails on time; never finished writing one letter to the other party during the entire period of his representation; and the other party's lawyer wrote that he did not appreciate James Allen's silence. At first, ...
This client had at least 2 lawyers before me (that I know about) and at least 1 after me (that I know about), and is unhappy with all of them. I fired this client after they inappropriately abused my office staff for not interrupting a Court Hearing to force me to speak with the client instantly. They begged me to continue representing them, but I declined. Their next lawyer came up with a new legal strategy, and they lost at trial - using his strategy, not mine.

The World's Best
Mr. Allen was extremely helpful and generous with his legal knowledge and assistance. He took what I thought was a disaster in my son's life, by untangling fines and charges, both erroneous and real to an understandable level. Everything made sense after his knowledge, counsel, and referral was giv...

Outstanding Attorney
James Allen provided invaluable assistance in my workers compensation case. He was always available to take my calls and his counsel went above and beyond what was expected. James' ability to bring my case to a positive conclusion was only surpassed by his sincere interest in my personal well-being. ...

Excellent Attorney.
James Allen has provided expert legal advice for us, primarily work-related. I highly recommend Mr. Allen for his professionalism, timeliness, and hard work.
"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."
