About Richard G.
Richard G. Allen practices law from three western Pennsylvania offices. He is a familiar figure in county courthouses and municipal halls in Blairsville, Johnstown and Hollidaysburg. His day-to-day work reflects the rhythms of smaller communities more than the pace of a big city firm.
Allen completed his legal education and was admitted to the bar before opening a practice that serves clients across the region. Early in his career he handled routine intake and client counseling, tasks that sharpened his attention to detail. Over time he expanded the practice footprint to maintain offices in three towns. That choice allows him to meet clients where they live and work.
His career path has been steady rather than theatrical. He has represented individual clients, acted for small businesses and handled matters in local courts. He spends time preparing filings, attending hearings and advising people on the practical consequences of legal options. He does not pursue publicity. Instead he builds files, manages case calendars and tries to keep clients informed.
Allen’s areas of work reflect the needs of the communities he serves. He handles a range of civil matters and represents clients in contested proceedings when necessary. He also assists people with transactional work, paperwork and other services that require a lawyer’s review. He balances time in court with client meetings and document drafting.
Colleagues describe him as steady in the courtroom and pragmatic in client conferences. He tends to break complex matters into clear steps. That approach helps clients understand deadlines, costs and likely outcomes. It also informs how his offices are organized: staff handle intake and scheduling, while Allen focuses on strategy and courtroom appearances.
Today he divides his time among the Blairsville, Johnstown and Hollidaysburg offices. Each location handles its share of consultations and hearings. He maintains an active practice that is rooted in the day-to-day legal needs of local residents and businesses. He currently divides his time among those offices and concentrates his practice on serving local clients’ legal needs.
