Allen & Allen, a Virginia-based personal injury law firm, announced the addition of Genoveva Border as Director of Spanish Services and Claims Consultant in its Richmond office. Border brings over 14 years of experience serving Virginia's Latino community and will oversee the development of the firm's Spanish-language services while assisting clients with claims consulting and case support.
Border's appointment reflects the firm's ongoing commitment to improving communication and access to legal resources for Spanish-speaking individuals and families across Virginia. The firm noted that Virginia's growing Spanish-speaking population has increased demand for legal services that prioritize language accessibility and culturally informed communication.
Border began her legal career working with Ecuador's Court of Appeals before pursuing advanced legal studies in the United Kingdom. She earned a Master's degree in Human Rights Law from the University of Nottingham and later completed a second law degree at The College of Law in Birmingham, England. After qualifying as an attorney in the U.K., she practiced corporate tax law before transitioning into personal injury law.
In 2011, Border relocated with her family to Virginia and shifted her legal focus toward personal injury matters, where she found greater opportunities to work directly with individuals during difficult circumstances. Over the past decade, she has worked extensively with Spanish-speaking clients and communities across the state.
'In personal injury law, I can support my clients experiencing traumatic situations by taking care of the legal aspects of their cases so that they can focus on healing,' Border said.
In her new role, Border will work closely with attorneys, staff members, and clients to ensure Spanish-speaking individuals receive clear explanations about the legal process, case developments, insurance matters, and available legal options. Her addition will help strengthen the firm's ability to communicate with clients who may face language barriers while pursuing injury claims related to motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, and other personal injury matters.
Founded in 1910, Allen & Allen maintains offices throughout Virginia, including in Richmond, Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, Chesterfield, Stafford, Petersburg, and Mechanicsville. The firm has emphasized community engagement and client accessibility throughout its history, including expanding resources for Spanish-speaking injury victims navigating the legal system.
Allen & Allen's leaders said Border's addition aligns with its longstanding commitment to serving communities across the Commonwealth. The firm's mission centers on providing guidance, advocacy, and support for individuals and families facing the challenges that follow serious injuries.
