Running into an old friend in Richmond
After conducting the videotape deposition of a reviewing physician at Henrico Doctors Hospital, traveling trial lawyer Doug Landau ran into an old friend in Richmond. Ashby Allen is one of the name partners at the Allen law firm and a long time Landau family friend. Ashby’s father and Doug’s father Norman Landau knew each other and were good friends, and this friendship has continued for 4 generations ! In fact, there were 3 generations of Allens and Landaus at Doug Landau’s wedding in Richmond’s West End 26 years ago this month. In addition to their personal friendship, the ABRAMS LANDAU law firm and the ALLEN firm have shared tactics, information and documents, as well as referred cases and taught at Continuing Legal Education programs. Here Doug Landau is pointing out Ashby Allen’s license plate, which could be “ABA” for the “American Bar Association,” but is in fact the senior counsel’s initials !
