Legal agreements are only as solid as the words upon which they are built.
Allen’s meticulous nature drives him to pursue a high level of accuracy when drafting business agreements and legal documents. “Ambiguity in a document leads to litigation,” explains Allen.

In this regard, Allen’s ability to verbalize complex information in a direct and unambiguous manner is an indispensable advantage for Katlowitz & Associates and their clients. “When we talk about reducing liabilities for clients,” explains Allen, “communicating clearly with clients and related parties is as critical to our overall success as the legal strategies, solutions and expertise we provide.”
