History

In 1951 Allen & Allen represented the plaintiffs in Mahone v. Ford Motor Company.[1]

In February 2009, Coleman Allen, Jr., a trial lawyer with the firm, was co-signer with Rodney A. Smolla for Vicki Iseman of the public statement released upon Ms. Iseman's settlement (without cash) of her defamation suit against The New York Times.[2] Ms. Iseman had sued over coverage of her part in the John McCain lobbyist controversy, during Sen. McCain's 2008 presidential campaign.[3] The statement rested much of the case on whether Ms. Iseman was a private citizen or public figure in the situation, with her lawyers arguing for her rights as a private citizen.[4]

In 2013, Matthew Murray, an attorney with the Allen, Allen, Allen & Allen firm was disciplined by the Virginia State Bar for obstructionist conduct in Lester v. Allied Concrete.[5] Murray accepted a five year suspension from the Virginia State Bar and resigned his position from the Allen, Allen, Allen & Allen law firm.[6]
