Allonn Levy’s favorite cases are those that other practitioners find daunting. Whether it’s convincing a U.S. Supreme Court Justice to reverse her own order, tackling a two month trial with $50 million in undocumented transactions, employing common-law real property concepts from the 1800’s to obtain justice for minority, fractional property owners or taking down an international website infringing on his client’s “doggy sunglass” business, Allonn likes a challenge. From e-commerce clients to individuals, software companies to multinational ISPs, to innovators and real-estate speculators, Allonn believes hard work, trust and loyalty are the key to fostering long-term relationships with his clients.

While most cases settle, Allonn has taken dozens of cases to trial, including at least ten multi-million dollar trials. In one such trial, he obtained a complete defense court judgment in a two-phase trial with at least $400 million in documented damages. 

Complementing his trial work, Allonn has also chaired a successful appellate practice group. He holds the California State Bar Association’s Certification as a Certified Appellate Specialist, with experience before numerous intermediate State and Federal Courts of Appeal, the California Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court.  

Throughout his career, Allonn has been passionate about helping the legal profession improve diversity within its ranks. He is a proud founding member and long-time co-chairperson of legacy firm Hopkins Carley’s DEI committee and a frequent participant in efforts to amplify the profiles and voices of groups traditionally underrepresented within the legal profession.
