Mr. Armstrong graduated Cumberland School of Law at Samford Univerisity in 1988. Upon graduation, he began his practice with one of the oldest and most well established law firms in Birmingham, Alabama. He practiced for seven years in this firm's business litigation department. Thereafter, he founded a firm primarily devoted to representing small businesses and consumers. Many of these clients suffered injury as a result of violations of employment and consumer protection laws. In 1999, Mr. Armstrong joined a national law firm primarily representing plaintiffs in national class actions and multi-district litigation.
Mr. Armstrong continues to expand his employment law practice relating to wage and hour issues and other matters arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act. He also continues to focus on areas of consumer protection, including current pending class litigation for violations of multiple deceptive trade practices statutes. The primary focus of this area of the practice is intended to protect individuals from fraud and deception. During his years of representing his clients, Mr. Armstrong has been involved in many multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.
Seriously?
He ignored huge potions of what I posted and then asked me to provide information I had already clearly stated. He seemed more interested in acting as if he knew more than anyone else than he did in actually providing me with solid information. I was disgusted.

Replied last September 19, 2022I'm sorry you don't have a case. The message was convoluted and did not present any facts that would support a claim. If you have a wage and hour case, then take it to an experienced employment law attorney. You are obviously frustrated over the lack of employee rights. I wish you the best. I've never received a bad rating, only the highest because I try to delve into the guts of a case. You simply do not have a case with merits for an ADA case. You might possibly have an FLSA case, but I would not take the case based on your lack of understanding and appreciation of the law. I do wish you the best, but you obviously will have a hard time finding a lawyer because you do not listen. I would be glad to speak with you, and then I could potentially refer you to an attorney who might assist on the wage and hour issue. There does not, however, appear to be an ADA Claim for your friend, and she would have to pursue that herself. You may not understand, but you do not have standing to represent her or protect her rights. This is often a problem when someone tries to help someone else. You may not understand, but the courts do not allow you to protect someone else. I'll be glad to speak with you or your friend, but you need to understand the issues. I've done this for more than 35 years. I know the law. I'll be glad to assist.
