Allred was sworn in to the New York bar on September 25 by Karen K. Peters, the first woman justice of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York for the Third Judicial Department.
The Bloomberg Businessweek reported Allred saying in a phone interview, "Two days after being admitted, I'm going to be seeing clients all day … I can't wait to get started."
Allred has been instrumental in exposing and bringing to justice high-profile people charged with sexual abuse or similar allegations across the country. Her most recent celebrity case involved representing the former San Diego communications director who sued ex-mayor Bob Filner and the city for sexual harassment. She had also counseled Jodie Fisher, whose accusations led the CEO of Hewlett Packard to reach a confidential settlement and leave the company.
