Alabama Lawyers Stephen Strickland to Steven Brom

Firm: The Law Office of Stephen Strickland

2320 Arlington Avenue South , Birmingham , Alabama 35205

Practice Areas: Sexual Harassment

I have over twenty-six (26) years of extensive experience in the areas of civil and criminal law in Alabama’s state and federal courts at both the trial and appellate levels.. My practice areas are sexual harassment, employment discrimination, wrongful termination, auto and truck accidents, wrongful death, and personal injuries.. I started working as a law clerk for Richard Jaffe in 1987 when Mr. Jaffe was a partner at Jaffe, Burton & Digiorgio, P.C., and I became an associate there in 1990 upon graduation from law school. When Richard Jaffe decided to establish his own practice, I followed Mr. Jaffe as an associate and later became his partner at Jaffe & Strickland, P.C. Later, Derek Drennan and Hube Dodd would become associates and then partners at Jaffe, Strickland, Drennan & Dodd, P.C.  I was in charge of writing most of the firm’s appellate briefs, and I ran all aspects of the civil litigation side for the firm, including case management, complex discovery, motions practice, depositions, trials, and appeals, when necessary. Most of the civil cases that I have handled were on behalf of injured individuals but I have also successfully represented businesses as well. In addition, we were co-counsel for the Honorable Bernard Kincaid, Mayor for the City of Birmingham – 2000-2008.. In Alabama, five Death Row inmates have been exonerated and are now free. I successfully represented Wesley Quick, the 5th exoneree, on his appeal. In addition, I worked with Barry Scheck and Nina Morrison from The Innocence Project to obtain the release of an Alabama inmate through DNA evidence.. I was voted one of the Top Attorneys in Alabama for 2016 as published in Business Alabama Magazine's Super Lawyers Section. I also have a current "BV" rating (good to very good) in Martindale-Hubble Peer Review Ratings.

An Intoduction to S.A. "Bud" Watson by Ralph Hornsby, Jr.. Bud attended undergraduate school at Harding University in Arkansas and the University of Louisiana, Monroe. He graduated from the University of Alabama, School of Law in 1966. He clerked for a Circuit Judge. After his clerkship he became an Assistant District Attorney and, less than one year later, at the age of twenty-six, he was promoted to Chief Assistant District Attorney. Because of success in that role he was elected without opposition as a District Judge at age 29. Two years later at age 31, he was promoted to Circuit Judge. Judge Watson served until retirement in good standing at age 45. He has served by special appointment as Judge on the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals. He also served as a Special Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and authored the Court’s opinion. Bud is a graduate of the National Judicial College and was later a Faculty Adviser there.. Following retirement from the bench, Bud again distinguished himself as a trial attorney. Because Bud has participated in over 650 jury trials as a judge, prosecutor, and civil trial attorney, he has been able to give me insights into trial strategies I could never have obtained elsewhere. He is called on regularly by lawyers all across the nation for consultation on trial strategies. Since 1997, Bud has been on the Trial Advocacy Training Faculty at Louisiana State University Law School where he teaches courtroom skills to senior law students. Bud makes it his business to stay abreast of the latest research on the decision-making process of jurors and evidence presentation.. Bud is admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Northern and Middle Districts of Alabama. He is also admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. Bud is a member of the Alabama State Bar Association; the Huntsville-Madison County Bar Association; the Alabama Association for Justice; the Federal Bar Association; the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the American Judges Association. He has been selected as an “Alabama Super Lawyer,” and is listed as one of Alabama’s Top attorneys by Business Alabama. He has, for over twenty years, been given Martindale Hubbell’s highest peer rating – A. V. Bud remains a senior status Circuit Judge and periodically hears cases in Alabama courts.. Bud has been married to Wanda for 43 years. They have two children and four grandchildren.. I am proud to be a member of this outstanding law firm and of my years of association with my partner and friend, Bud Watson.
