Family Law

• Divorce
• Child Support
  Recent studies show an alarming number of Americans have debts that have been turned over to collection agencies. CNN Money recently reported on a study conducted by the Urban Institute finding that one in three adults (roughly 77 million people) in the United States have a debt that has been turned over to a collection agency. The study looked at non-mortgage debt to include car loans, medical bills, credit cards and even child support payments.

Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  There are not many more worrisome issues in life than if you are charged with a criminal offense. The worry can be escalated if the charges are from the United States government in federal court. I provide legal defense for charges filed against you by the United States government, and also for charges occurring on federal military installations such as Redstone Arsenal, Maxwell Air Force Base, Fort Rucker, Great Lakes Naval Station, etc. I also represent defendants in what is commonly referred to as “Magistrate’s Court” cases for federal property offenses.
• Wrongful Death
  All of the types of claims discussed above are subject to statutes of limitations. That means there is a limit on how long after the injury occurs you can pursue compensation through a personal injury, workers’ compensation, product liability, medical malpractice, wrongful death, or other related claims.
• Sex Crimes
  While not practicing law, Brad has served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Birmingham, the Crisis Center of Birmingham, the Alabama Head Injury Foundation and the Alabama Coalition against Rape

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  When you have been seriously injured and are seeking the compensation you need to recover and rebuild, guidance and representation from an attorney you can trust is critical. It can be very difficult, however, to know how to choose a personal injury lawyer. The internet is a sea of competing personal injury law firms, all claiming to be the best option for you and your family.
• Medical Malpractice
  For example, an injured person in Mississippi generally has three years to file a personal injury claim while Alabama allows two years for the same type of claim, and Tennessee just one year. Related types of claims, such as medical malpractice and wrongful death, may be subject to different statutes of limitations. For example, although Mississippi injury victims have three years to file a claim, those who have lost loved ones to negligence have just two years to file.
• Auto Accidents
• Social Security Disability
  If you suffer from a physical or emotional condition that prevents you from working full-time and are under the age of 65, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits.

For instance, an individual may be behind on taxes and the amount owed to the IRS has increased dramatically due to penalties and interest. Wages may be garnished, federal tax liens placed on real property and levies on bank accounts are among some of the worries and concerns that plague our clients with tax issues or problems.
• Debt Collection
  Our lawyers practice in several consumer law areas to include the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Often times, these two areas go hand and hand. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is found at 47 U.S.C. § 227. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is found at 15 U.S.C. § 1692.
