Judson J. Allgood, lawyer, structured stadium financing
A long-time member of the Greater Cincinnati legal community has died.
Judson J. Allgood, who structured the financing for Riverfront Stadium and helped keep the Bengals in Cincinnati as an NFL franchise, died at Christ Hospital Monday. He was 74.
Mr. Allgood, of Ryland Lakes Country Club, was a senior partner with the law firm of Peck, Shaffer & Williams.
Mr. Allgood graduated from Harvard College at age 18 and passed the bar exam before his 21st birthday. After serving in the Navy during World War II, he attended Harvard Law School, where he was on the Law Review.
His first position practicing law was with what is now Wood, Herron & Evans, where he was a patent attorney. He later went to work as a bond attorney at Peck, Shaffer & Williams, where he spent 48 years.
"Jud had a wry sense of humor and was an excellent and patient teacher for many young attorneys," said John Fischer, managing partner at Peck, Shaffer & Williams. "He had an amazing ability to analyze and simplify very complex issues."
Mr. Allgood's "crowning achievement" was the legal structuring of Hamilton County's financing of Riverfront Stadium. Mr. Allgood successfully defended the county against a taxpayer lawsuit on Riverfront Stadium that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"He was one of the premiere experts on Ohio public finance law, serving as an in credibly valuable resource on issues ranging from home rule to political subdivision debt," said John Weld Peck, Mr. Allgood's partner for more than 20 years. "Jud was not only exceptionally knowledgeable in the law of public finance, but also unwaveringly loyal to Peck, Shaffer & Williams, always urging us to maintain the highest professional standards. We owe him a great deal and he will be missed."
Although he was retired from active practice as a law partner, Mr. Allgood continued to serve as an adviser to partners and associates at the firm until a few weeks before his death.
He was a member of the University Club and the Mercantile Library in Cincinnati; the Ryland Lakes Country Club, Ryland Heights; the Ohio and Cincinnati bar associations; the Masonic Order, the American Legion, and the English Speaking Union.
He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Carol (Heepke) Allgood; sons, Judson M. "Jay" Allgood and Charles H. Allgood, both of Cincinnati; daughters Gwendolyn Triplett of Cincinnati; and Brooks Armandroff of Alexandria, Va.; and one granddaughter.
