BALA CYNWYD, Pa. -- (Business Wire)

Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Alliance Bankshares Corporation (“Alliance” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ABVA) relating to the proposed acquisition by Eagle Bancorp, Inc (Nasdaq: EGBN) (“Eagle”).

Under the terms of the transaction Alliance shareholders would receive 0.4317 shares of Eagle stock for each share Alliance stock they own. The transaction values Alliance stock at approximately $6.11 per share. The investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Alliance for not acting in the Company’s shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process to Eagle. The transaction may undervalue Alliance as stock traded at $6.65 as recently as April 29, 2011 and an analyst has set a price target of $19.00 per share.
