Varnum attorney John W. Allen of Kalamazoo was recently selected as a 2012 Leader in the Law by Michigan Lawyers Weekly. He and other recipients – including some of the state’s most widely recognized attorneys, prosecutors, judges and justices - will be honored at a ceremony in Detroit in March.

Allen, a business and litigation attorney, was recognized not only for his legal practice but for his tireless dedication to the advancement of the legal profession.

John Allen’s commercial law and litigation career spans 40 years during which he has displayed not only an impressive record, but a passion for the legal profession and a commitment to integrity. He has consistently held leadership positions for the Federal Bar Association, the State Bar of Michigan and the American Bar Association, with a particular dedication to ethical and professional responsibility committees.

Allen is a Board Certified Civil Trial Advocate, by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. He has written and co-written dozens of articles and books, and speaks frequently to business and law groups.
