Lawsuits and Disputes 30%

My practice is devoted to civil litigation of all kinds. I try legal malpractice cases, traffic accidents, business disputes and will contests. My cases are mostly on a contingent fee basis.

Wrongful Death 30%

Alabama law is unique when it comes to wrongful death. No other state restricts awards to punitive damages based upon the wrongful conduct of the defendant.

47 years | 25 cases

Personal Injury 20%

There is a personal injury injury component to most of my cases. My wife is an RN and my partner's wife is an MD so we can get medical answers pretty easily.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
