OUR STORY

A full-service law firm since 1985

When the partners came up with the idea of creating Allen Stahl + Kilbourne, they wanted to create a law firm that is based on establishing personal relationships with clients.  This basic philosophy is what our attorneys strive to achieve with every client we represent.  We want our clients to feel that we understand them and we want to earn their trust.  

The vision of the Firm was to create a team atmosphere which allows us to use our collective backgrounds and experiences to better represent our clients.  Our attorneys regularly collaborate with one another to craft strategies and approaches tailored specifically for each client.  We are not simply a group of individual attorneys practicing in one office.  We are a team.  When you hire Allen Stahl + Kilbourne you hire a team of attorneys whose number one goal is to establish a lasting attorney client relationship.

Reflecting our commitment to comprehensive legal services, our attorneys hold licenses in multiple states across the U.S. including North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Montana, Texas, Washington, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Colorado, District of Columbia, and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (Cherokee, NC).

    Derek and his team have a work ethic and knowledge base that is unmatchable. I have personally experienced a level of professionalism and individual attention by A.S+K. that is rare today. In a world where true attentiveness paired with an extremely high level of expertise can be difficult to land on, they made it seem effortless. I couldn't possible recommend Allen Stahl + Kilbourne more, but would if I could.
