About Allan C.
Allan C. Zhang attended New York University before earning his law degree at Rutgers School of Law–Camden. His academic path gave him exposure to both a major private university and a law school known for practical training. Classwork and clinics at Rutgers shaped how he approaches legal problems, and time at NYU broadened his perspective on policy and institutional practice.
He is admitted to practice in New York and works at McKirdy, Riskin, Olson & DellaPelle, P.C. There he is part of a team that handles a variety of matters for clients in the state. Colleagues describe him as methodical and clear in his written work. He prefers plain language when explaining legal choices to clients and uses careful research to back recommendations.
Zhang’s early years in practice were spent applying classroom lessons to real cases and transactions. He has moved between client meetings, drafting, and court filings, learning to prioritize tasks that make a difference for a client’s position. That practical orientation shows in how he prepares for hearings and negotiates routine matters. He aims to make legal steps understandable, rather than simply efficient.
On the bench and at the table, the work requires attention to detail. Zhang’s colleagues say he pays attention to the small facts that often prove important. He places weight on organizing records and developing a clear chronology when facts are disputed. That habit shapes how he presents issues to opposing counsel and to decision-makers.
Outside specific matters, he contributes to the firm’s efforts by mentoring newer attorneys and participating in internal case strategy sessions. His experience at both NYU and Rutgers informs how he balances theoretical arguments with the day-to-day needs of clients. As of 2026 he practices at McKirdy, Riskin, Olson & DellaPelle, P.C., and is licensed to practice law in New York, where his work addresses the legal needs of individuals and businesses in the state.
