Allan Charles VanDeMark
Born in Lockport, New York, I hold an undergraduate degree from Fairfield University and a law degree from Thomas M. Cooley Law School, where I graduated cum laude. I was an Assistant District Attorney in Chemung County, New York and now a partner with Williamson, Clune & Stevens. I specialize in personal injury and criminal defense. I am the President of the Board of Directors at the Alcohol and Drug Council of Tompkins County and am also on the Board of the YMCA of Ithaca and Tompkins County, where I chaired the strategic planning committee. I live in Ithaca with my wife and two sons.
