Having grown up the son of devout educators in rural Madison County, Gary has never forgotten the simple yet enduring lessons of faith, integrity and hard work. As an all-county athlete and avid outdoorsman, he built lifelong friendships and associations with the kinds of people that make up the backbone of our country. However, he also saw how quickly those salt-of-the-earth people can be taken advantage of by large, faceless corporate entities. It was a deep calling to defend the rights of his friends and neighbors that became the motivating force behind Gary’s desire to go to law school. Working his way through law school allowed Gary to interact with experienced personal injury lawyers and judges while going to school to earn his degree. He honed his courtroom skills amongst some of the greatest litigators in Alabama’s history.
To this day, Gary believes the relationship with his clients is one of the hallowed privileges within which trust, comfort, and mutuality must be established as the structures of success. Once that bridge is constructed, the experience and dignity he brings to your case inspire the confidence that only an attorney of his caliber can offer.
