About Kimberly B
Kimberly B Allen is a Hofstra University School of Law graduate from the class of 1991 who entered the New York legal community with a law degree and a clear path toward practice. She earned her J.D. at a time when the legal landscape was shifting, and she remained in the state where she was trained. Her academic background provided the foundation for a career centered in New York courts.
Early in her career, Allen established herself in private practice. Over time she began operating from the Law Offices of Kimberly B. Allen, where she serves as a lawyer handling matters subject to New York jurisdiction. Alongside her practice, she pursued a court designation that shaped a portion of her work: the Appellate Division, Third Department designated her as a Lawyer for the Child. That credential authorizes appointments to represent children's interests in certain appellate proceedings and reflects an area of courtroom involvement that not all practitioners undertake.
Her professional network includes memberships in several local and state bar organizations. Since 2005 she has been listed with the Saratoga County Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association, and the Adirondack Women’s Bar Association. Those affiliations place her among lawyers who participate in county-level and statewide legal conversations, and they suggest an ongoing engagement with peers and developments in practice across the region.
Practically, Allen’s work involves courtroom appearances and representation in matters arising under New York law. The Lawyer for the Child designation points to experience representing children’s interests when appointed by a court, particularly in appellate contexts within the Third Department. She combines that role with the general responsibilities of a private practitioner—counseling clients, preparing filings, and managing case strategy through different phases of litigation.
Colleagues and clients who have encountered her work are likely to note the steady presence of an attorney who has maintained a single-office practice while also participating in broader bar activities. Her approach reflects a small-firm practice model, rooted in state admission and local professional ties. She continues to practice in New York at the Law Offices of Kimberly B. Allen, including accepting appointments as a Lawyer for the Child when assigned.
