It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our firm's founder, J. Allen Seymour.

Allen returned to Athens in 1989 to take over a business of around 80 clients. Since then, the firm has grown into the one you know today. None of that growth would have been possible were it not for Allen Seymour. Thanks to Allen's guidance and commitment to excellence, we at Seymour & Perry, LLC continue to thrive.

Our firm is founded upon Allen's hard work and determination to provide clients with top-notch work and a positive client experience. Each day, we strive to continue that legacy.


For those who knew and worked with Allen over the years, know that he considered it a pleasure to work for each of you. Our firm continues to strive for excellence in all that we do.

We would like to take a moment to express our gratitude to Allen for giving all of us here at Seymour & Perry, LLC a chance to continue his legacy. We carry on his name with the utmost respect and admiration.

Thank you, Allen!
