Kevin Allen, JD

Kevin serves as outside legal counsel for Adams Wealth Advisors through his firm Inspire Legal and is responsible for overseeing AWA’s legal functions throughout the intermountain west.

Kevin earned a Juris Doctorate from the University of Oklahoma, where he received honors in trial advocacy. He was commissioned as an officer in the United States Navy while in law school, and, after graduation, served in the JAG Corps. He was first assigned to be the lead prosecutor for the Northeast Command at the Submarine Base in Groton, Connecticut, but soon moved to Spain to serve as the Tax Officer for the European and Southwest Asia Command. He later returned to Logan, Utah to practice law primarily in business and estate planning matters.

After relocating, Kevin was appointed to serve as a District Court Judge in the First District of Utah by Governor Jon M. Huntsman, Jr. in 2008. While serving on the bench, Judge Allen presided over a few of the most high-profile cases in Utah, many of which made national news. Despite this challenging caseload, Judge Allen became known as a problem-solving judge as he worked to help those who appeared before him to find the resources and support needed to resolve various issues. He also served as a member of the Board of District Court Judges, as Chairman of the Governing Board for all District Courts in Utah, as a member of the Utah Sentencing Commission and as the Presiding Judge for the First District in Utah.

Kevin spends his free time skiing or traveling with his wife, children, and ever-expanding group of grandchildren.
