Attorney Profile
Principal Attorney
Attorney Malone W. Allen, a distinguished family and business law litigator, graduated from Emory University School of Law and has since established a reputation as a steadfast legal advocate and counselor. Drawn to law through his high school and college debate experience, where he honed his analytical skills as a state-wide champion, Malone is deeply committed to aiding clients navigate complex legal terrain, providing not just robust advice but also compassionate guidance.
Background
My Approach
Malone competed in debate through high school and college before studying political science and speech communication at Trinity University. Law school at Emory University was a natural next step, and recognition in the Order of the Barristers followed. The throughline across it all is the same: he has spent his entire adult life learning how arguments are built and where they break down.
That background shapes how he handles cases. Every matter gets prepared as if it will go to trial. Not because every case does, but because preparation is leverage. Clients who are genuinely ready for a courtroom negotiate from a stronger position, and the work done early produces a cleaner record if the case ever goes further.
Appellate experience changes how you see a trial. Having interned with and won in the Georgia Supreme Court, Malone approaches trial-level work with a clear sense of what survives scrutiny on appeal and what doesn’t. One attorney handles the matter from beginning to end, which means the strategy stays consistent, and nothing gets lost between phases.
As a result of his experience, acumen, and tenacity, Malone has been recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star every year from 2019 through 2026, a peer-nominated distinction awarded to fewer than 2.5% of attorneys in Georgia.
Malone W. Allen
From our very first consultation, he took the time to carefully explain my case and my options with such knowledge and clarity that I instantly felt confident he knew exactly what he was doing. Today, I walked out of court with such relief, finally feeling like I had an attorney who didn’t see me as just another case, but as a person who needed real guidance and strong representation. I am beyond happy with the results, and without hesitation, I can say he is the only family law attorney I would recommend.
