My labor-and-employment law work includes employment litigation, discrimination, contracts, drug-free workplaces, drug testing, litigation prevention, employee policies/handbooks, and employee benefits/ERISA. I am also experienced in commercial litigation, insurance litigation, negligence/injury cases, fraud/misrepresentation cases, product-liability cases, arbitration, and other methods of alternative dispute resolution. I have been the attorney of record in more than eighty appellate cases and more than fifty reported appellate decisions. My practice in the area of constitutional law includes representing governments in civil-rights cases, as well as free-speech, voting/elections, and religion issues.  I have also worked on cases concerning the powers of local governmental entities. I was directly involved in the election-related disputes concerning races for Sheriff of Jefferson County, Alabama, a Jefferson County Circuit Court judge, and the 1994 race for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama. My personal interests include computers, technology, college football, college basketball, and church activities, including teaching children’s Sunday school. I am a volunteer court appointed special advocate for abused and neglected children in the Jefferson County Family Court through CASA of Jefferson County and the Alabama CASA Network. I especially enjoy family activities with my wife and children.
