Business and Commercial Law

Home

Thank you for visiting my website. Whether you have an existing legal problem or a developing dispute that may lead you to seek legal advice in the future, one thing is clear: The sooner you act to protect your interests, the more likely an experienced lawyer will be able to achieve a favorable result on your behalf. Too often, delay eliminates good options, causes the loss of valuable rights, and makes the underlying problem more difficult and expensive to resolve.

For over 30 years, I have been using effective communication skills, realistic analysis, thorough preparation, and diligent advocacy to consistently achieve my clients' objectives in a broad range of legal matters. In recognition of that performance, I have received an "AV®" Peer Review Rating*, the highest rating available under Martindale-Hubbell's Peer Review Rating system. This rating is based on confidential opinions of members of the Bar and Judiciary and "shows that a lawyer has reached the height of professional excellence . . . and is recognized for the highest levels of skill and integrity."

I have been representing businesses and individuals for three decades (i) in state and federal courts throughout Alabama, (ii) in arbitrations and mediations, (iii) before state and federal agencies and (iv) in non-litigation matters. For more detailed information about my practice, please click here to go to my Practice Areas page. From that page you can link to other pages in this website that describe the type legal matters I handle.

If you or your business have a legal problem and you have been unable to obtain the desired outcome on your own, then please call me or send me an email so that we can develop a strategy to achieve your objectives and take steps to protect your interests. Please consider contacting me immediately if:

  • A lawsuit, administrative complaint or demand for arbitration has been filed against you or your business;
  • You are aware of facts that lead you to believe a claim may be asserted against you or your business in the future; or
  • You have a dispute with an individual or business and have been unable to resolve it to your satisfaction within a reasonable period of time.

When you contact me, I will explain your options and identify solutions which are tailored to your case. While the matter is pending, I will provide vigorous, effective and nimble representation that is balanced by straight talk and common sense.

Having practiced with a large law firm for over fifteen years, I have big firm experience; but my rates have remained below market. I also work hard to control costs without sacrificing results or quality. If you need an experienced Alabama lawyer who will diligently and effectively protect your best interests, while also providing greater value than the big firm model, then please call me or send me an email so we can find a solution to your problem.

Although the largest percentage of my clients are located in Jefferson County (including Birmingham, Bessemer, Homewood, Hoover, Hueytown, McCalla, Mt. Brook and Vestavia Hills) and Shelby County (including Chelsea, Columbiana, Helena, Pelham and Riverchase), Alabama, a considerable number reside elsewhere or have principal offices located across the United States, including California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Another significant portion of my practice is derived from lawyer referrals, including serving as local counsel for out-of-state litigants and handling matters situated in Alabama for in-house counsel.

If you need to consult with a lawyer, then please call me or send me an email. Thank you.
