"I can't thank Mr. Yates enough. He handled my expungement like a super hero. The DA's office had been fighting me on it for over 20 years. He filed the motion within days and responded to me in an expedited manner with any and all inquiries I had."

"The staff went above and beyond to meet my needs for my expungement request. Without them, the process would have been daunting and time-consuming. The attorneys and paralegals did not stop until all necessary procedures were completed."

Why We Do This
This Work Is
Personal.
For Allen, gun rights aren't an abstract legal concept. As an avid hunter and outdoorsman, he understands firsthand what it means to exercise your Second Amendment rights — and what it feels like when those rights are taken away.
From dove fields in Georgia to duck blinds in Tennessee to turkey woods in Alabama, the outdoor traditions of the Southeast run deep. That's why Allen fights so hard to restore gun rights for deserving clients — because he knows what's at stake isn't just a legal status. It's a way of life.
"When someone tells me they just want to be able to hunt with their kids again, I understand that on a personal level. That's why I do this work."
— Allen Yates, Founder
