Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
I Settled a motorcycle accident case for my client who was retired, awarded over $800,000. Successfully defended a preacher against in two cases of alleged sexual abuse of a child over 12 years of age but under the age of 17; both cases resulted in not guilty verdicts
How did you build a successful practice?
I am a sole practitioner, have practiced for 49 years in the same area. Getting to know the people, the judges,their support personnel, their likes and dislikes, is a tremendous advantage in both jury and non- jury trials
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
3. Clients should look for an attorney who has experience, who is respected by his peers, and who deals directly with his clients, as opposed to "TV" lawyers.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
I can provide some basic information. The vast majority of my cases begin with a phone consultation.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?
I need a synopsis of the ""facts"" of the case, identities of the parties, the what, when, where, who & how of the controversy.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
Having been a deputy sheriff , and an investigator, while going to law school and for a time afterwards, I do my own work, going to accident scenes, interviewing witnesses, examining pertinent document and evidence. I do not rely on others to do the grunt work, I enjoy doing it and it pays off when a client's case is to be tried or settled.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
Winning.
What are your other interests in addition to law?
Golf and motorcycle riding. I am a member of Greystone Golf club, host to the Champions Tour. I am also the attorney for the Alabama Confederation of Motorcycle Clubs--approximately 30 different clubs with approximately 5,000 members. I enjoy hunting, fishing and generally the outdoors.
Are you involved in your community?
My primary community involvement is with church. My Christian values permeate the way I practice law.
