About Danny
Biography
I am a Litigator with a Martindale-Hubbell “AV Preeminent” rating in Litigation, Construction Law and Insurance by other attorneys, peers and judges. According to Martindale-Hubbell, “An AV certification mark is a significant rating accomplishment attesting to the fact that a lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence.”
For over 21 years I have specialized in civil litigation. I litigate and try cases in court. Typically, that involves wrongful death, personal injury, contract disputes and construction defects. I have had the privilege and opportunity to try many jury trials, to include wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases. My experience includes work-place explosion, trucking accident, medical malpractice, products liability and premises liability cases. In addition, I have had extraordinary opportunities to handle complex construction litigation. Construction cases have ranged from single-family starter homes to million dollar custom homes, and from commercial to complex condominium construction.
In bodily injury and construction cases, I seek to enforce indemnity agreements and additional insured agreements. I am used to pursuing the indemnity and additional insured angles, recovering clients’ defense and indemnity dollars.
I practice throughout Alabama and Mississippi. See my website at .
