Allan focuses his practice in the areas of employment law and civil rights. He is committed to fighting for the rights of workers. Prior to joining our firm, Allan worked with then-president of the National Employment Lawyers Association, Fred Gittes.

Allan recently won a significant victory for employees in the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. The case, Rucker v. Lee Auto Mall, Inc., 471 F.3rd 6 (1st Cir. 2006), clarified that an employee need not be employed for 12 consecutive months for his job to be protected by the Family and Medical Leave Act. According to the Court, previous employment with the same employer would count towards the 12 month requirement.

Allan is admitted to practice in Maine and before the United States District Court of Maine and the First Circuit Court of Appeals.
