About David E.
David E. Allred began his legal formation at Auburn University, where he earned a B.S. in 1972. He continued at the University of Alabama School of Law and received his J.D. in 1975. Those two degrees set a clear path into trial work, courtroom practice and federal litigation.
He moved into private practice soon after law school and eventually became a principal at Allred & Allred, P.C. Over decades at the firm he built a trial roster and an appellate practice that reached into the federal system. His name is tied closely to the firm’s civil litigation docket.
Allred is licensed in Alabama and holds admission to the Eleventh Circuit. He is also admitted to practice before the U.S. District Courts for the Middle, Southern and Northern Districts of Alabama. Those credentials let him handle matters that start in state court and proceed to federal trial and appeal.
He holds certification as a Civil Trial Specialist from the National Board of Trial Advocacy. That credential marks a career concentrated on trials rather than transactional work. It also reflects a body of courtroom experience and peer review that the certifying board requires.
Professional affiliations have been a steady part of his career. He is a current member of the Alabama State Bar and belongs to the American Board of Trial Advocates as an Advocate. Those memberships are consistent with a practice centered on civil litigation and jury trials.
Colleagues describe his courtroom presence as straightforward and methodical. He prepares witnesses and evidence in ways that aim to keep jury attention on the central facts. He has handled cases at trial and argued matters on appeal in the Eleventh Circuit when the record required it.
Allred’s work at Allred & Allred, P.C. spans client counseling, pretrial motion practice, jury and bench trials, and appellate briefing. He has concentrated on litigation tasks that arise in civil disputes and has maintained courtroom activity across several federal districts in Alabama. His current practice focuses on civil trial litigation.
