Practice Areas
Four focused areas of practice, handled personally by attorney L. Wendell Allen.
Our Practice
L. Wendell Allen, PLLC is a Richmond VA law firm that concentrates on four kinds of cases: criminal defense, DUI defense, personal injury, and child custody and visitation. Each one involves something deeply personal, whether it is your freedom, your driver's license, your health and income, or your relationship with your child.
Keeping the practice focused lets Wendell Allen stay current on the Virginia law that matters most to clients and spend real time on each case. You will not be one file among hundreds. You will have a lawyer who knows the facts of your situation, answers your questions directly, and explains what to expect at every stage.
Not sure which category your situation fits into? That is common. Some cases overlap, such as a car accident that leads to both an injury claim and a criminal charge, or a protective order that affects custody. Call and describe what happened, and we will tell you whether and how we can help. If your matter is outside our practice, we will say so.
Misdemeanor and felony defense in Richmond-area courts, from the first bond hearing to trial. We examine how the police built their case and look for every weakness in it.
Defense for first and repeat DUI charges, refusals and license problems. We review the stop, the field tests and the breath or blood results for errors.
Help for people hurt in car accidents and other incidents caused by someone else. We document your injuries and deal with the insurance company so you can focus on recovery.
Representation for parents and family members in custody and visitation cases. We help you seek, change or enforce an order that protects your time with your child.
Your Choice
When you retain a private attorney, you decide who represents you, and that lawyer's duty runs to you alone. If you have been injured, keep in mind that the insurance adjuster handling your claim works for the insurance company.
