Twana Allen leads the firm’s Family Law section, which includes custody and divorce matters, as well as adoptions. She is also a court-appointed advocate for children in the Dallas family courts and a certified mediator.

Twana understands that clients who need legal representation for family law matters are often experiencing one of the most emotional and life-altering experiences of their lives. Her primary role as their attorney and advocate is to decrease their anxiety about what they’re going through. It’s her job to counsel them on the law so they can navigate through the difficult decisions they’re asked to make.

In Twana’s role as an impartial mediator, her goal is to help parties find a resolution that works best for them, which reduces the time, expense, and tension that comes with a trial before a judge or jury. Whether she is representing a parent or a child in litigation or mediating, she is always conscious of the immediate need to bring an end to adversarial situations.

Twana graduated from the Oklahoma City University School of Law. She loves traveling, cooking, and wine, and at one point considered becoming a sommelier. The pandemic has led her to become a “plant mom,” which has proven to be very therapeutic. Twana has several nieces and nephews she spoils with every opportunity, and she’s passionate about the children she’s appointed to represent.
