Joseph E. Allman has practiced employment law, workers’ compensation, and personal injury for more than 30 years, spending his career representing individuals against employers and insurers in three legal areas where the power imbalance between the parties is most pronounced.
Introduction
Allman Law LLC is a law firm led by Joseph E. Allman, an attorney with more than 30 years of experience in employment law, workers’ compensation, and personal injury. The firm practices in both state and federal courts, handling cases that require understanding of statutory frameworks, regulatory requirements, and litigation strategy across all three areas.
Joseph Allman’s practice is built on three principles: tailored legal solutions, integrity and professionalism, and a client-centered approach that treats each case as unique. These are not aspirational statements. They reflect the practical reality of employment law and injury claims, where the facts of each situation determine strategy in ways that template approaches cannot accommodate.
Practice Areas
Employment Law: Workplace Discrimination
Workplace discrimination encompasses claims under federal and state statutes including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and applicable state laws. Discrimination can take the form of adverse hiring decisions, termination, demotion, pay disparities, harassment, and hostile work environment conditions.
Employment discrimination claims require careful documentation, prompt action to preserve deadlines, and strategic navigation of the administrative process before litigation. Joseph Allman handles both the EEOC or state agency filing requirements and subsequent litigation in state and federal court.
Employment law cases often involve individuals who fear retaliation for asserting their rights. The firm handles retaliation claims alongside the underlying discrimination matter when the facts warrant it.
Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ compensation provides benefits to employees injured on the job, covering medical treatment, temporary disability payments, and permanent disability awards when applicable. The system is supposed to be straightforward, but insurers routinely dispute claims, delay payments, and minimize permanent disability ratings.
Joseph Allman has spent more than three decades representing injured workers against insurance carriers and employers who deny or undervalue legitimate claims. The firm handles initial claims, appeals of denied claims, and disputes over the extent and permanency of disability.
Personal Injury
Personal injury representation at Allman Law LLC covers negligence-based claims arising from vehicle accidents, premises liability, and other circumstances where another party’s failure of care caused harm. The firm practices in both state and federal courts, which means it can handle personal injury claims regardless of the legal venue they require.
The intersection between personal injury and workers’ compensation is an area where a firm handling both brings particular value. Workplace injuries can give rise to both a workers’ comp claim and a third-party personal injury claim against a non-employer responsible party. Allman Law LLC handles both sides of that equation.

Client Focus
Allman Law LLC serves clients who are often dealing with two crises simultaneously: the harm itself, whether a discriminatory termination, a workplace injury, or a serious accident, and the institutional resistance of an employer, insurer, or negligent party refusing to accept responsibility. Joseph Allman’s 30-plus years of experience gives him a clear picture of how that resistance operates and how to counter it.
The firm’s client-centered approach means that each client receives analysis of their specific facts and a legal strategy built around their circumstances, not a standard template applied to everyone with a similar claim.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of workplace discrimination does Allman Law LLC handle?
The firm handles discrimination claims based on race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, and other protected characteristics under applicable federal and state law. This includes hiring discrimination, termination, demotion, pay disparities, harassment, hostile work environment claims, and retaliation for asserting protected rights.
What happens if my workers’ compensation claim is denied?
A denied workers’ compensation claim can be appealed through the administrative process and, if necessary, through litigation. Joseph Allman handles denied claims and disputes over the extent of disability, the appropriate medical treatment, and the calculation of permanent disability benefits.
Can I have both a workers’ compensation claim and a personal injury claim for the same workplace accident?
In some cases, yes. If a third party other than your employer contributed to a workplace accident, a personal injury claim against that party may be available alongside the workers’ compensation claim against your employer. Allman Law LLC handles both, which matters because the strategy for one can affect the outcome of the other.
Does the firm handle federal court cases?
Yes. Allman Law LLC practices in both state and federal courts. Many employment discrimination claims proceed in federal court, and the firm is fully equipped to handle those proceedings.
How does the firm tailor its approach to each client?
Every employment, workers’ compensation, and personal injury case has a specific set of facts that determines the legal strategy. Joseph Allman evaluates the particular circumstances of each client’s situation, identifies the strongest claims and the most significant challenges, and builds a legal strategy accordingly. That approach applies regardless of how many cases with similar surface characteristics the firm has handled before.
