also known as Michael A. Vercher
For the past 15 years, I have represented companies and individuals in a wide variety of lawsuits ranging from general insurance defense matters to complex fraud and workplace exposure litigation. I have handled jury trials as lead counsel in at least 6 different Alabama counties and oral argument before the Alabama Supreme Court. In addition:
- I represented an Alabama company forced out of business by the predatory annexation and zoning of property by a city in a jury trial in Huntsville, Alabama. The trial received significant statewide media attention and resulted in a multi-million dollar jury verdict for the client.
- I represented an Alabama company against wrongful interference with its rock quarry business in a jury trial in Scottsboro, Alabama that resulted in a multi-million dollar jury verdict for the client. The verdict was upheld on appeal to the Alabama Supreme Court.
- For over 12 years, I have served as lead local counsel for a large insurance company’s workplace exposure litigation in Alabama.
- I represented a large pharmaceutical company in statewide personal injury litigation for over 4 years and through conclusion.
- I routinely represent commercial and residential contractors in construction litigation.
- I routinely represent insurers and insureds in catastrophic personal injury and bad faith cases.
