William Allen

My dad William Allen has recently retired.  He was called to the Ontario Bar in 1954 and enjoyed over 56 years of a successful law practice, beginning in a firm with his father, Jack Allen and his brother John Allen (John later became a Provincial Court Judge in Orangeville), which later became “Allen & Allen”.  My grandfather Jack Allen started as a lawyer in the 1920s in Haileybury, Northern Ontario.  After Jack retired, dad joined Lang Michener for about seventeen years and then, at age 57, decided to start his own firm in 1985.  I joined dad’s firm in 1992 and eventually it became Allen & Allen all over again.  Although dad has retired, I’m hoping that another generation may join me some day.  Stay tuned.
