Carr Allison Celebrates 25 Years!

Twenty-five years ago, on February 14, 1997, nine attorneys and a handful of staff established the now regional civil defense firm known as Carr Allison.   We celebrate this anniversary with the 250 individuals who actively make up the Carr Allison family today.  Along with six of the founding lawyers still practicing law and guiding the firm – Charles Carr, Russ Allison, Tom Oliver, Charlie Ireland, Thomas Logan and Bo Kirkpatrick – and four of the original staff members – Patty Lynch, Peggy Chamblee, Susan Davis and Kim Harris – we continue to hold ourselves to the highest standards in all that we do for our clients.  We extend our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to our clients for their continued and ongoing trust in us.  Together we look forward to our next 25 years.
