When a dispute lands in court, the stakes are real and the rules are unforgiving. Our Alabama litigation practice represents individuals and businesses in state courts across a range of civil matters — from landlord/tenant disputes to personal injury claims — with a focus on clear strategy and aggressive advocacy.

Residential Landlord/Tenant Law

Disputes between landlords and tenants frequently turn on details that go overlooked until they matter most. We represent both sides of the rental relationship in matters arising under the Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act.

  • Evictions and unlawful detainer actions
  • Lease enforcement and breach claims
  • Security deposit disputes
  • Habitability and repair claims
  • Lease review and dispute prevention

Contract Litigation

When a counterparty fails to perform — or accuses you of doing so — the right legal response can make the difference between a manageable problem and a business-threatening crisis. We litigate contract disputes from initial demand letters through trial and appeal.

  • Breach of contract claims and defenses
  • Enforcement of payment obligations
  • Non-compete and non-solicitation enforcement
  • Warranty and indemnification disputes
  • Recovery of damages and equitable remedies

Business Litigation

Business disputes can involve partners, shareholders, competitors, vendors, or customers — and they rarely fit neatly into one box. We represent companies and their principals in commercial litigation focused on protecting the business while a path forward is identified.

  • Partnership, member, and shareholder disputes
  • Business divorce and ownership separation
  • Fraud, misrepresentation, and fiduciary duty claims
  • Unfair competition and trade secret matters
  • Commercial collections

Wills, Estates & Probate Disputes

The loss of a loved one can be complicated further when questions arise about the validity of a will, the conduct of an executor, or the distribution of an estate. We handle contested probate matters and disputes over wills and trusts in Alabama probate courts.

  • Will contests and challenges to testamentary capacity
  • Allegations of undue influence or fraud
  • Executor and administrator disputes
  • Trust disputes and beneficiary claims
  • Probate litigation

Employment Litigation

Whether you've been denied wages you've earned or you're an employer facing a claim, employment disputes can move quickly and carry significant exposure. We litigate employment matters in both state and federal court.

Wage & Hour Law

  • Unpaid wage claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
  • Misclassification of employees as independent contractors
  • Exempt vs. non-exempt classification disputes
  • Final paycheck and earned commission disputes

Overtime Law

  • Unpaid overtime and off-the-clock work claims
  • Improperly calculated overtime rates
  • Salary basis and overtime exemption challenges
  • Collective action representation

Personal Injury

If you've been hurt because of someone else's negligence, you should not have to fight insurance carriers alone. We represent injured individuals in claims for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages allowed under Alabama law.

Car Crashes

  • Auto accident claims and insurance negotiation
  • Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims
  • Distracted, impaired, and reckless driving cases
  • Commercial vehicle and trucking accidents

Motorcycle Accidents

  • Motorcycle crash investigation and reconstruction
  • Claims involving driver inattention and failure to yield
  • Helmet law and contributory negligence considerations
  • Serious injury and wrongful death claims
