Meet Allyson Kitchel
Straight shooter. Fierce advocate. No-nonsense lawyer. Allyson doesn’t just take cases, she takes them personally.Personal injury is, well, personal. Allyson Kitchel has lived injuries on both sides and considers her work a calling. Her 21 year old sister was killed in a car accident and her family never knew they needed a lawyer. In 2017, Allyson’s husband was seriously injured in a bike accident. Back then, she was a defense attorney. When she called a personal injury lawyer to help her husband, she didn’t realize the call would change the course of her life.
After experiencing the comfort of having a good lawyer lift the load of medical bills and insurance claims offer her shoulders, she realized her talents were not being put to good use. In 2019, Allyson left defense work and started Kitchel Injury Law on a laptop in her kitchen.
Today, we are a team of 7 women who stand up to bad guys and insurance companies and make sure that no one has to face being taken advantage of by insurance companies or corporate greed.
Allyson Kitchel isn’t your typical Washington DC personal injury lawyer; because you’re not looking for one. With nearly 20 years of experience, she brings a fighter’s mentality to every case. A former insurance defense attorney, she knows how the other side thinks and how to beat them at their own game.

Let’s Talk About Your CaseLegal Insights That Matter
Legal tips, case insights, and straight talk about personal injury law.
Having insurance is important, but it doesn’t always mean you’ll be treated fairly after an accident. Insurance companies, even your own, are focused on minimizing payouts and protecting their bottom line. Kitchel Injury Law is here to level the playing field and advocate for your best interests. Filing a claim doesn’t make you “the type” to sue - it’s about making sure your medical bills, lost wages, and long-term needs are fully covered. Most claims settle without ever going to court. Kitchel Injury Law simply helps you understand your rights, guides you through the process, and fights to get you what you deserve, no matter what.
It’s common for insurance companies to make hasty offers after an accident, but those first numbers are usually not in your best interest. Their goal is to settle the claim fast and for as little as possible - often before you know the full extent of your injuries or future expenses. Kitchel Injury Law can evaluate the true value of your case, factoring in things like ongoing treatment, lost income, and pain and suffering. With Kitchel Injury Law on your side, you have someone who understands how to negotiate, spots lowball tactics, and ensures you’re not leaving money on the table.
Most personal injury lawyers, including Kitchel Injury Law, work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay anything upfront. Instead, your lawyer is paid a percentage of your recovery if, and only if, you win or settle your case. If there’s no recovery, there’s no fee, it’s as simple as that. This arrangement lets anyone, regardless of their financial situation, access quality legal help without the risk of hefty hourly bills or out-of-pocket costs. Kitchel Injury Law also covers the costs of gathering evidence, hiring experts, and handling paperwork, so you can focus on healing.
