Kenneth J. Allen & Associates, P.C.
Passion. Commitment. Excellence.
Those three words best describe the driving forces behind Kenneth J. Allen & Associates. Our firm is devoted exclusively to the practice of Accident and Injury Law, and exclusively to the people – not corporations – seriously hurt or killed in incidents as varied as on-the-job accidents, semi-truck crashes, injuries from a defective product, or loss of life because of a doctor’s medical malpractice.
As the only multi-state law firm in Chicagoland accepting serious injury and wrongful death cases, exclusively, Kenneth J. Allen & Associates is experienced and knowledgeable in the details and procedures that can make or break a case. Although there is a growing aversion nationwide to large jury verdicts, Kenneth J. Allen & Associates has been successful in conveying a simple fact to juries, insurance companies and at-fault corporations: Lawsuits cover real costs that real people incur when they are seriously hurt by the negligent or irresponsible behavior of others – costs they would not face if they had never been injured. The costs, when accurately and judiciously tallied to account for medical inflation and quality of life issues, can be staggering.
Kenneth J. Allen & Associates carefully screens each potential case before taking it on, and one of the key questions the firm seeks to answer affirmatively is, “Will a greater good be served?” We seek not only to compensate our clients, but to prevent tragedies from happening in the future.
Let Kenneth J. Allen & Associates serve your legal needs.

Donation keeps children safe

VALPARAISO | Kindergartners at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School received a gift from local attorney Kenneth J. Allen on Friday morning.
Allen and his wife, Nina, donated money to United Way of Porter County so that all kindergartners in Lake, LaPorte and Porter counties would be equipped with child ID kits.
The goal is to equip parents with a record containing their child's DNA, fingerprints, photos so that they can provide this data immediately to the authorities in case a child turns up missing.
Melissa Castle-Kirincic, resource development director with United way of Porter County, handed out the kits to the children.
"From Ken and Nina's very generous gift to United Way, we've dispersed more than 18,000 child ID kits, thus far, to elementary schools throughout Lake, LaPorte and Porter counties," Castle-Kirincic said.
Allen spoke to the kindergartners in Elaina Spratley's class.
"You kids are all very special," Allen said. "It is important that you talk to mom and dad about safety, and it is important to know about strangers. Always stay by people you know."
Allen said credit for the donation goes to his wife.
"This was my wife's idea," Allen said. "We want kids to take these kits home and have a discussion with their parents about safety and strangers."
