Starnes & Atchison LLP

With more than 60 attorneys in Birmingham and Mobile, Starnes & Atchison LLP is one of the largest firms in Alabama exclusively devoted to litigation. Since 1975, the firm has dedicated itself to a diverse civil litigation practice, and its distinguished list of clients includes local and international corporations, financial institutions, hospitals, state universities, insurance companies, municipalities, attorneys, doctors, architects and accountants.

FOCUS AND ADAPTABILITY

Starnes & Atchison uses practice groups to enable its lawyers to stay on top of legal developments within a particular area and to put their collective wisdom and experience to work for its clients. These groups also help identify lawyers who have the most experience in particular types of litigation and areas of the law. The firm’s practice groups are not rigidly defined departments, but fluid associations of lawyers who have handled similar cases or represent clients with common interests. This flexible organization is deliberate; focus and adaptability are important traits in litigators.

Starnes & Atchison’s attorneys collectively handle a high number of complex jury trials and rank among the most experienced litigators in the South. The success of the firm continues to be recognized by colleagues and institutions across the Southeast. Four of the firm’s attorneys are fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers, seven are members of the American Board of Trial Advocates, 10 are listed in The Best Lawyers in America for 2008, and five attorneys are highlighted among Alabama’s top litigators in the 2007 edition of Chambers USA.
