About Allen
Biography
There's no substitute for experience: Allen has been protecting people accused of crimes and people injured by the negligence or bad acts of others for over 30 years. He is in the courtroom almost every day and has a reputation as a strategic innovator, constantly finding new ways to use the constitution and statutes as precise weapons for his clients.
Allen has successfully handled virtually every type of criminal charge (everything from murder, drug conspiracy, embezzlement to DWI and traffic tickets, etc.) and virtually every type of civil matter (from personal injury motor vehicle crashes to breach of contract to Domestic Violence Protective Orders, etc.).
Allen also has extensive experience in handling appeals in all appellate courts. For a recent example, see State v. Yencer, 696 S.E.2d 875 (2010), raising a First Amendment challenge to the exercise of police power by the Davidson College Campus Police.
Allen was born and raised just outside of Charlotte in Denver, NC and his distinguished undergraduate and law school career at UNC included induction into the Phi Eta Sigma honor society and being awarded the prestigious Morehead Scholarship. He is active in Mecklenburg Community Church and loves spending time with his wife, Lynn, and sons, Haynes and Gray.
