About Us
About S.T. Allen Law, P.C.
S.T. Allen Law, P.C. is a Chicago trial firm built on criminal defense and driven forward by science. Led by Attorney Shay Allen, the firm represents clients across Chicago and Chicagoland in criminal defense, personal injury, civil rights, and civil litigation matters — with a growing jury consulting practice serving trial attorneys nationwide.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: provide excellent, efficient, and aggressive representation to every client we serve. We understand that the right path is often the one less traveled, and we’re not afraid to take unconventional, creative — even unpopular — positions when the case calls for it. At the same time, we know when those measures are the right call. Every client is treated as the individual they are — not a number in a settlement mill, and not just a case to close. You will be heard, understood, and treated with respect.
"No matter how big or small your case is, I will do everything within my power to provide you with the best representation available." — Attorney Shay T. Allen
From Criminal Defense to a Full-Service Trial Practice
Criminal defense is where this firm started, and it remains a foundation of our practice today. The trial skills, investigative instincts, and quick thinking built in the criminal courtroom have carried the firm into personal injury, civil rights, and civil litigation — areas we continue to grow, without ever losing sight of where we began.
As part of that growth, the firm now also offers jury consulting — a specialized service supporting fellow trial attorneys during jury selection.
Serving Chicago and Chicagoland
S.T. Allen Law is proud to serve clients throughout Chicago and the surrounding Chicagoland area. As a firm built by and for this community, we bring a homegrown understanding of the local courts and the people we represent to every case we take on.
