Getting to know Gus Allen

What I like most about the law is that everyone has access to it and everyone should be equal in the eyes of the law.

My most rewarding case was my client's husband was returning from deer camp when a drunk driver ran into him. He lived for three months and died from the injuries. I was able to collect a total of $1.5 million for my client who was, at that time, a 77 year old widow. She is now able to spend the last years of her life doing the things she wants to do. Although she has lost her husband, she can drive a new car, travel and try to enjoy the remaining years of her life without worrying about money problems.

My friends describe me as honest and likable

My opponents describe me as too aggressive.

If I had to attempt another profession, I would try being a doctor because I enjoy helping people.

My favorite quote is "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again."

My favorite book is The Pelican Brief by John Grisham.

My favorite sport's team is University of Arkansas Razorbacks

My favorite music is "oldies, but goodies."

When not at work, I enjoy golf
