• Where did you grow up?. I grew up in Redford, Michigan. I played little league baseball throughout my entire childhood and have many memories of those glorious summer days on the diamond.  I generally played first-base and was not necessarily the fastest kid on the team.  One play has stuck in my mind for over 20 years.  A hard ground-ball was hit to me and I dove to my left and was able to catch the ball, but when I looked up I knew I would not have the time to get up and get over to touch the base to get the runner out.  So I improvised and barrel rolled over to the base and tagged it with my glove in time to get the runner out.  I remember everyone cheering and laughing at the same time for my unusual tactics.  I was happy and proud of my creativity and getting the out.  I also received the game-ball signed by my entire team, which I still have to this day.  Always be creative and never give up.. • Outside of family, who was an important mentor in your life and how did this person impact your career?. John (Jack) Lundeen, Esq.. Jack taught me two valuable lessons, one explicitly and one by example.  First, he told me that I needed to be more assertive and to go after what I wanted and not to let shyness or fear of failure to get in my way.  I never forgot that conversation, and the transformation was not an overnight process and is by no means complete. I always knew that I needed to break through my shyness to achieve the goals I desired, but hearing it from someone else really catalyzed the process.. Secondly, having the opportunity to live and work with Jack at his Lake Oswego, Oregon law office, during my Kalamazoo College externship taught me a very important lesson, lawyers are not cookie cutter shapes made from a particular mold and the best lawyers are those that are true to their own personality. Jack’s personality was not what I would pictured as the traditional attorney, but he was his own person and comfortable in his own skin. He did not change whether in court, with clients or out shooting pool.  I learned that I do not need to change who I am to be successful either, and that is the greatest lesson I could have learned, even if it took me a few years to realize and appreciate.. • What was your first job? What did you learn from the experience?. My first job was in an IGA grocery store in Redford, Michigan.  The first thing that I learned was not to mix bleach and ammonia while mopping!  But in reflecting back on my time as stock boy/bagger/meat slicer/cart-getter/etc., I did learn many valuable lessons, which include the value of independence, responsibility, work-ethic, customer service, and the joy of doing a job well, even if no one else notices. I also learned that sometimes the most undesirable and tedious job can be the most important and that every job deserves my best.  Of course, my first job also taught me the joy of receiving a paycheck.. • Name a big blue-sky goal that you would like to accomplish in your career.. My big career goal is to have no regrets and to know that no matter what the result I did the best that I could for my clients in the most ethical, compassionate and zealous manner possible.. • You travel back in the time to the era when you were in law school, and you find your law school self sitting in the library. Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give to yourself?. The practice of law teaches you many things, which is why we practice law and do not perfect law.  Many of the lessons I have learned in my post-law school years leads to a similar conclusion, knowing the law is only half of the battle to being a successful attorney.  I would tell my law-school self to hone my networking skills, practice public speaking abilities, improve critical and creative thinking skills and become more self-aware.  Along with that message, I would tell my law-school self to have more fun because the demands and pressures of a career in the law do not get any less after graduating and passing the bar.. • Please share your best tip for balancing your professional life and your personal life.. Do not focus on balance because there will never be a perfect balance, but strive to make the most of the time you spend at and away from work.. • If you could not be a lawyer, what occupation would you choose?. If I could not be a lawyer I would likely choose to become a teacher or professor.  I had the opportunity to be a teaching assistant for many classes in law school and really enjoyed helping students learn.  There is a challenge and deeper understanding of many things when one has to break things down to core elements and communicate those things to other people. Just like the law the world is always changes and things being taught are always evolving and keeping things interesting.. • Everyone has a “guilty pleasure.” What is yours?. Fine pens. • What is your favorite book or movie and why?. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is my favorite movie because it takes me back to simpler times and allows me get lost in a “world of pure imagination.” Also, every time I watch Willy Wonka, I catch something new, think about something in a different way, or have new life experiences to reflect on in juxtaposition with the fantasy world.  Most importantly, it always puts a smile on my face.. • What is your favorite vacation spot?. Home-  Over the last few years I have gained a new appreciation for being at home.  The demands life and work sometimes keep me away from the luxury of home and the sense of content and relaxation that can come only at home. I have been to the Caribbean’s, Virgin Island, Belize, Cancun, Florida, California and other far away destinations and they are all wonderful and unique, but the one thing they have in common is that the feeling of returning home.  Also, it is pretty hard to travel with my co-counsel named Roxy who is an 85 pound American Bulldog.. • What are two things about you that not many people know?. 1. I do not know how to whistle or blow bubbles with gum. 2. I have been to 7 Guns n Roses concerts in 5 cities and 2 countries.. • How would you describe yourself in one word?. Dedicated

William C. White, II is a founding member and managing partner of Boles Holmes White LLC.  This firm traces its roots to the small southern town in Alabama where William first began practicing in the 1990's.  William's accounting background gave him keen insight which he has been able to parlay in recent years into a successful corporate civil litigation/white collar/compliance practice.  It is estimated that in William’s over twenty years of law practice, he has tried over a hundred trials to a jury verdict..

Twenty-four years ago, I crossed the Alabama state line at the age of 21 for only the second time in my life.  The first time I was a sixth-grade student in Marietta, Georgia on a field trip to the Huntsville Space and Rocket Center.. This second time was in 1991 when I enrolled in law school at Samford University's Cumberland School of Law in Birmingham, Alabama.  I graduated from Furman University in 1991 with a degree in Economics and while I never intended to be a lawyer, I thought the law school education could always benefit me no matter what course I ultimately chose.  I also knew myself well enough to know that if I were going to pursue additional education following college, it would need to be immediately after college.. Being from Marietta, Georgia, Cumberland School of Law seemed like a good choice as it was fairly close to home and was similar in many ways to Furman University where I spent a wonderful four years and developed meaningful and lasting friendships.  So, in August 1991, my mother, father and I packed my belongings in a U-Haul truck and headed west on I-20.  As we drove, I considered the journey ahead and where it might take me (in law school, not on I-20) and imagined it would only include a brief three-year stay in Birmingham and a return trip on I-20 East in 1994 to begin a career.. I was surprised to find law school interesting and it did not take long to realize that I could enjoy a nice quality of life in Birmingham.  Prior to graduation, I was fortunate to receive an offer of employment from  a mid-size law firm and I accepted knowing that my plans to return to Georgia may never come about.  It was at this law firm that I learned the importance of a doing a job well, on time and paying attention to detail.  I also worked with a great group of people and those friendships developed during those first few years of law practice remain some of my closest today.  And, I was lucky to find two mentors that I considered my "professional" father and grandfather that took a real interest in me.. Birmingham was becoming my home and it was about to get even better.  In 1996, I took Ashley Herring on our first date to Legion Field for an Olympic Soccer game.  Despite having no interest in soccer, Ashley was great company at the game and ignored the absolute downpour that started right at kick off and continued all night.  We never thought about leaving the game and Ashley never complained - not once.  I knew a good thing when I saw it.  In 1997, Ashley and I married and it was the best decision I've ever made.  She still has not complained even though I can give her plenty to complain about.. In 2002, I was ready for a change from the world of litigation.  Through a chance meeting with my law school classmate Shelly Moss while Christmas shopping for our children (Caroline, at the time 19 months and Paul, 5 months), I learned that Shelly was moving to Texas and leaving her busy real estate closing practice.  The prospect of continuing her practice was attractive to me for several reasons.  First and foremost however, I liked that I would be providing a needed service at a known and reasonable price for those who chose to be involved in the transaction - not usually the case in litigation.. As I write these words, I feel fortunate to be celebrating my thirteen-year anniversary (now 22 years) in the real estate closing business and I have enjoyed it even more than I thought I would.  There are many things I like about it including those that I thought I would.  But what I find most rewarding, I believe, is that I am a part of a community and I get to play a small part in someone's decision to choose a home.. I enjoy our life here and am proud to call Birmingham home. I'm also grateful that I'm not fighting that Atlanta traffic!  Ashley and I have three happy and healthy children (Brian, our third, joined us in 2003) that actually get along and enjoy school.. And, I continue in a job that I find enjoyable and rewarding and always feel flattered when someone allows me to handle their real estate transaction for them.  So much so that I hope to be updating this statement another twenty-three years from now!

To Stephen Hunt, Jr., respect is a two-way street. He has been profoundly inspired by mentors whom he respected and has been sought after to counsel others who respect him.. It was while growing up in Birmingham, Alabama, that Hunt was inspired to become an attorney by the influence of a mentor worthy of respect. Retired Judge H.W. “Bucky” McMillan coached Hunt’s youth basketball team, and Hunt, who admired the Judge’s fair demeanor, believed that trait must have developed from the Judge’s practice of law.. After graduating from The University of Alabama at Birmingham, Hunt pursued his law degree from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University and has practiced law at Cory Watson Attorneys ever since. His areas of focus include Products Liability, Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Litigation, and Motor Vehicle Accident Litigation, among others..

When he’s not in court or in the office, Hunt enjoys backpacking, hunting, and spending time with his family.. Though Hunt has earned recognition for helping the firm achieve notable verdicts and settlements for clients, the part of being an attorney he finds most rewarding is helping people come to grips with their situation and guiding them through to the other side. His proudest accomplishment is the trust and respect that lawyers at Cory Watson have earned from both their clients and the community.
