Firm: Boles Holmes White LLC

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.. William White's education includes a degree in Accounting from the University of Alabama’s Culverhouse School of Accountancy.  William then gained his law degree from the University of Alabama’s school of law in 1998.  Upon graduation, William returned home to work for his father’s law firm where he gained extensive experience in real estate, banking and insurance matters. William gained significant jury trial experience as a local prosecutor.. Over the years, the firm has handled some of the most high profile cases in the country.  Members of the firm served as counsel for former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy in his acquittal of over 80 counts charging him with corporate misconduct.  This verdict was the first ever prosecution under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and is believed to be the only case in which a corporate executive has been found not guilty of charges related to fraud within a publicly traded company.. This representation led to the firm being further retained by Scrushy to defend him in the subsequent stockholder and shareholder derivative lawsuits and SEC investigation.. William served as trial counsel in two Federal jury trials for a State Senator charged with 19 counts of conspiracy, bribery, honest services fraud, wire fraud, money laundering and asset forfeiture.  The State Senator was found "not guilty" on all counts.. The firm also served as counsel for former Gizmondo CEO Steffan Erikkson in Los Angeles, California.  This international case was the result of the  Swedish national being charged with Embezzlement related to certain property upon which he had executed a security agreement.  The firm was able to obtain a hung jury.. Additionally, the firm has been involved in litigation in cases in jurisdictions across the country including the representation of a resident of Hong Kong whose business was alleged to have been involved in the largest counterfeit shoe seizure in the United States; the representation of the former Mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick on charges of perjury; and the representation of an employee of Peanut Corporation of America in the ongoing investigation into the nationwide salmonella outbreak.  It is estimated the firm has practiced in front of courts in more than 30 jurisdictions across the country.

Growing tired of big firm life, Mr. Oncale struck out on his own in 2006 and has never looked back. He loves the variety of his practice and the fact that his office environment is more like a gathering spot than a true traditional law office. The books, computers, conference rooms and legal staff are still there, but both the staff and his clients are treated like family and not like employees or merely clients.. Most of the clients that come to us are facing issues they never dreamed they would face and are, truthfully, ill prepared, at virtually every level, financially, emotionally and spiritually to deal with the issues they face. The role of an attorney practicing family law is much more than just a mouthpiece or even an advisor. The role is truly unique and is the most rewarding part of such a practice. While we would never wish the painful issues of a family dispute on anyone, if you find yourself in such a dispute, we welcome the opportunity to represent you and help you through the process with as little disruption and heartache to you and those you care about as possible.

Larry was recently recognized by Super Lawyers ® as one of the Top 50 lawyers in the entire state - for the third consecutive year. According to Super Lawyers’ website, "Super Lawyers selects attorneys using a rigorous, multiphase rating process. Peer nominations and evaluations are combined with third party research. Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Selections are made on an annual, state-by-state basis." Less than 5% of Alabama’s 16,000+ lawyers were selected. This humbling recognition followed shortly after having been selected on the vote of other lawyers as a "Top Lawyer" in 2012 as published by Birmingham magazine. In fact, 2013 marks the sixth consecutive year that Larry has been chosen for the distinction of being a Super Lawyer (r).. Larry King was born in Leesburg, Florida, on July 27, 1962. He was admitted to the Alabama and Georgia Bars (1988), and to the Florida Bar (1989). He is admitted to all state and federal trial courts in Alabama; all state trial and appellate courts in Georgia and to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia; all state trial and appellate courts in Florida and to the U.S. District Court for the Middle and Southern Districts of Florida; and to the United States Court of Appeals for Eleventh Circuit. He graduated from Florida State University (B.A., English-Business Administration, 1984), after being admitted on a National Merit Scholarship, and from the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University (J.D. 1988).. In law school, he was a member of the Order of Barristers, an articles editor for the American Journal of Trial Advocacy, a member of the moot court board, and a member of the trial board. After graduating, he served as a law clerk to Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice C.C. Torbert, Jr., and to Chief Justice E.C. Hornsby. After practicing in Orlando, Florida, for a brief time thereafter, where he represented major manufacturers and insurance companies, Mr. King returned to Birmingham, practicing briefly on behalf of manufacturers and insurance companies, but representing people from the plaintiff's side since 1993.. A lifelong Methodist, Larry and his family are members at Asbury United Methodist Church. His service there has included the introduction of God's Garage Sale, an annual event where donated items all are given away for free – the same cost as God's grace. A few years ago, he and his wife gave up his retirement fund and established the Hands of Christ Fund at Asbury, a ministry that provides financial assistance to those in need, helping them to break free from poverty by furthering educational or employment goals; several participants in that program have been able to graduate from college with aid from the Fund. His wife and two children were baptized at Asbury, and his two other children were confirmed there. Larry credits Asbury pastor, Rev. Mark Lacey, with being the most positively influential person on his adult life. Presently serving as Asbury's Missions Committee chairperson, Larry continues growing his faith under the incredible and dynamic wisdom of Rev. Kip Laxson.. Professionally, Larry is proudest of his service on behalf of the injured people of the state. Having secured over $5,000,000 in verdicts on behalf of workers fired for having exercised their rights to workers' compensation benefits – including record jury verdicts in at least 4 Alabama counties, and having published several articles in leading legal publications in that area of the law, he has been one of Alabama's leaders in protecting the rights of those hurt during the course of their work. Two of his scholarly articles, Fired in Retaliation for Claiming Workers' Compensation Benefits in Alabama, 24American Journal of Trial Advocacy 539 (2001) and What Triggers the Application of Alabama Code §?, 33 American Journal of Trial Advocacy 1 379 (2010) (with Christina Van Der Hulst), were cited as authoritative in the Alabama Pattern Jury Instructions (3d ed. 2012), on the topic of retaliatory discharge. He has likewise championed the rights of those injured outside the workplace, as well, landing millions of dollars in jury verdicts for accident victims, helping insure that they are adequately and properly compensated for the losses that accompany devastating injuries.. Larry also gives professional time for causes he believes in. For years, he has given countless hours at no charge by speaking to high schools and church youth groups on the variety of consequences that drunk drivers will face, both criminally and civilly. This work has been in conjunction with his founding of Lawyers Against Drunk Driving; that organization is on the web . He also piloted the beginning of the Asbury Lawyers' Forum, a group of lawyers that periodically meets as a group to offer free legal advice to the public at Asbury United Methodist Church.. In March 2010, Larry was recognized in b metro, The Magazine of Birmingham Living for having "reached the highest levels of ethical standards and professional excellence" in its article, "The City's Top Legal Minds." Those accolades dovetail exactly with his peer reviewed rating, which notched perfect scores in both legal ability and adherence to professional standards. Larry was selected to the Board of Directors of the Alabama Association for Justice for the 2010-2011 term.

Ken Riley was born and raised in Alexander City, Alabama. After obtaining his business degree at the University of Alabama, Mr. Riley went on to complete his legal studies at Cumberland School of Law at Samford University.. One of Mr. Riley’s strengths as a plaintiff’s attorney is his ability to relate to people from all walks of life, a characteristic that comes naturally from his small-town upbringing. Having had first-hand experience with a family member involved in a life-threatening car accident, Mr. Riley understands the physical, emotional and financial issues families involved in a serious injury experience. That experience was instrumental in establishing the way he pursues personal injury cases and reinforced his belief that a client’s needs should always be considered when determining the best course of action for a particular claim.. For over eighteen years, Mr. Riley has dedicated his law practice to helping injured victims obtain fair and just settlements and verdicts. With a self-described “love of trying cases”, Mr. Riley believes his most important role as a plaintiff’s attorney is to follow a course of action that results in the best overall outcomes for clients. Mr. Riley tailors his practice to not only focus on people involved in catastrophic accidents, but also those injured by defective medical devices, child-related accidents, as well as victims of nursing home abuse.. Mr. Riley is perennially recognized as a Super Lawyer Honoree for 10 years, a national peer-nominated publication that names the best attorneys across all 50 states, in the area of Personal Injury Litigation. In 2017, he was included in Super Lawyers’ top 50 Alabama attorneys list. He has achieved an AV Preeminent rating, the highest possible rating in both legal ability and ethical standards by his peers. He is also recognized by Birmingham Magazine as one of Birmingham’s “Top Attorneys,” and has received multiple multi-million dollar settlements for his clients. In addition to practicing law, Mr. Riley and his law partner, Kirby Farris, host a legal call-in show, LawCall, every Sunday night on Fox 6 WBRC at 10:30 p.m. LawCall features guest attorneys from across the state of Alabama, and answers live call-in questions on all areas of the law.. Mr. Riley lives in Birmingham and in his free time enjoys fishing, Alabama Football and spending time with his two sons, Evans and John Harold.
