About Stephen
Biography
I began my practice in the law department for Exxon Company, USA in New Orleans. After five years of corporate practice, I moved back to my hometown, Decatur, Alabama, to enter private practice in 1979. I have an active civil litigation practice, which includes personal injury, family law and insurance defense litigation. I have handled almost every conceivable civil action, including wrongful death, auto accidents, fraud, construction defect cases, trucking accidents, slip and fall, work injuries and product liability.
No representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.
