About David B.
David B. Allen has built a steady practice across state and federal courts in Indiana and Colorado. He brings a courtroom presence that comes from years of active membership in trial and bar organizations. The arc of his career is straightforward. He earned his undergraduate degree from Indiana University in 1991 and returned to the same school for law, receiving his J.D. from the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 1995.
After law school, Allen established his practice in jurisdictions that span state and federal systems. He is admitted to the bar in Indiana and to the District of Colorado, and he holds admissions to the United States District Court for the District of Colorado and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. Those credentials allow him to litigate in both state courts and federal forums across the two states where he practices.
Allen is listed as counsel at Cohen & Malad, LLP. At that firm he has worked on matters that require courtroom experience and procedural knowledge of federal practice. He is part of a firm environment that handles litigation across multiple venues, and his admissions to district courts in both Colorado and Indiana reflect the geographic reach of his caseload.
Professional associations have been a steady part of Allen’s career. He maintains membership in the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association and the American Association for Justice. He is also a member of the Indiana Bar Association and the Indianapolis Bar Association. Those affiliations suggest regular engagement with continuing legal education, trial practice discussions, and peer networks within the state and at the national level.
Colleagues and clients see Allen as a practitioner who knows how to move a case through pleading, discovery and courtroom phases. He navigates procedural questions in federal court and handles filings in state dockets as needed. His judicial admissions and association memberships underpin that practical orientation rather than any single specialty label.
He continues to practice at Cohen & Malad, LLP and appears in both federal and state courts in Indiana and Colorado, handling litigation matters across those jurisdictions.
