Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Prior to starting his current practice, Mr. Allen spent three decades as a litigator, including a significant period with a high-end national firm. I was a solo practitioner doing mostly transactional work for about a decade and at one point needed a second set of eyes and hands to assist with a brief where the opposing party had several lawyers and group resources available to it. Mr. Allen provided invaluable assistance that significantly bolstered the final product. Mr. Allen has had a long and successful career and continually gives back to the community. Since working with him, I have come to know him fairly well personally, and can say without reservation he is a person of excellent character, honorable, and a gentleman."
