Allen & Allen’s President, Doug Barry, has an outstanding record of success in handling brain injury litigation. Dedicated to obtaining justice for his clients, Doug gathers and then studies the relevant facts in a brain injury case to pinpoint and then exploit the opposing side’s areas of vulnerability.  At the same time, he maximizes the strengths of his own client’s case by working closely with members of his client’s medical team to explain clearly to a jury the brain injury’s impact on his client’s life and lifestyle.

A litigator for over twenty five years, Doug began his legal career as a prosecutor and also worked as a special agent for the FBI. Since 1993, his practice has focused exclusively on plaintiff’s personal injury law. One of Doug’s most satisfying trial results occurred when he obtained a $ 10,000,000 verdict for a client who suffered serious traumatic brain injuries including cerebellar and frontal brain contusions and a subdural hematoma. Doug is listed in the publication Best Lawyers in America and has been named in Super Lawyers, a Virginia magazine which recognizes the top 5% of lawyers in the state.
