Brian R. Carmichael

I'm Brian Carmichael, founder and managing attorney of Carmichael Law Group. Since 2005, I've dedicated my career to standing up for people the system too often leaves behind—especially those fighting for the Social Security Disability benefits they've earned.

Social Security Disability is at the heart of my practice. Nearly 70% of initial SSD claims are denied, leaving people who paid into the system for years without the support they depend on. I help clients at every stage—whether you're just starting your application or appealing a denial through reconsideration, a hearing before an administrative law judge, or beyond. I build strong, evidence-based cases designed to win, and I make a complex, frustrating process understandable every step of the way.

Alongside my disability work, I also represent clients in personal injury and mass tort cases—from car accidents and defective products to dangerous drugs and toxic substances—holding negligent parties accountable and pursuing the compensation my clients deserve.

A graduate of the University of Alabama and Faulkner University's Jones School of Law, I bring nearly two decades of experience and a hands-on, client-first approach to every case. I understand that legal matters are never just paperwork—they affect real lives and real families. That's why I treat every client with personalized attention, empathy, and a results-driven mindset.

Based in Opelika, Alabama, my firm serves disability clients nationwide and represents injury clients throughout Alabama and Georgia. We offer bilingual support for English- and Spanish-speaking clients, consultations are always free, and you pay nothing unless we win.  When you work with me, you're not just hiring a lawyer—you're gaining a trusted advocate who will stand by your side from start to finish.
