Ethan Allen

Ethan Allen graduated from Hamline University School of Law and received his Bachelor's degree from Hamline University. While attending law school, Ethan gained valuable experience working as a law clerk for the Minnesota State Public Defender's Office.

Ethan also obtained significant exposure to the practice of criminal law while clerking at a law firm in Alaska for two summers. Upon graduating from law school, Ethan accepted a position with the Public Defender's Office, where he has handled a variety of criminal matters. As a public defender, Ethan has represented thousands of clients, facing all types of charges ranging from relatively minor misdemeanor charges to serious felony charges.

Likewise, as a private attorney, Ethan focuses his practice on criminal defense—representing clients charged with traffic violations, DWI's, assault, and murder. Ethan is known around the area as a DWI specialist. If there are issues in your case, Ethan will find them and use them to your advantage. His skills have prevented a number of clients from going to prison.

Ethan has personally tried 20 cases to a jury.  He has been victorious 15 times.  A winning percentage of 75% seems like a story line out of an out of John Grisham book rather than real life.

In his free time, Ethan enjoys playing hockey, golf, fishing, and hunting. His biggest passion, however, is coaching his sons in baseball and hockey. In fact, under Ethan's steadfast guidance, he led the Elk River boy's youth baseball team to a Minnesota State Championship win. Ethan would also like to note his winning coaching record against his law firm partner, which is truly one of his greatest victories to date.
