As a fellow attorney, I recognize good legal work and good law office customer service. Attorney Rice has given my referrals excellent service. I've attended some of the hearings and note that attorney Rice recieves great respect from court personell. He is thourough with his preparation and discusses the case consistently with the client. Attorney Rice also helps the client with other issues following concluding issues with the court - which he is not required to do. He is approachable and is very good at making the client understand the possible outcomes and how to prepare. I am very pleased in how he reprrsents my referred clients.

I had an excellent experience with the Rice Firm for my personal injury case in Birmingham. Attorney Richard Rice and his team represented me wonderfully. The entire team was professional and supportive every step of the way. A special shout -out to Martrece Bell the paralegal, for her amazing work and dedication. Her attention to detail made all the difference. I truly appreciate everything the Rice Firm did for me. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Attorney Rice handled my wrongful termination claim with the utmost professionalism. He was always available and willing to go above and beyond the call of duty. The process of my claim took over three years; Attorney Rice proved to be a reliable and resourceful legal counsel for the duration of my claim and helped resolve it to a positive outcome, including having my job reinstated. I highly recommend Attorney Rice for his legal services. If you need an attorney, do not hesitate to call him.

Very talented people delivering exceptional service to defend clients from unreasonable denial of valid claims. As an attorney suffering a career ending illness, I sought out the best ERISA attorney in Alabama to handle my claim for long term disability. My research lead me to David Martin of the Martin Law Group. His knowledgeable and zealous representation lead to a very successful resolution of my ERISA case and validated my trust in him. I would recommend him to anyone with an ERISA claim.

Mr Callaway came highly recommended and was referred by a Judge in an adjacent county.
From the outset, he took the time to listen to our situation/concerns and recommended a solid approach to resolving our issues. His recommendations proved to be spot on, his communication was prompt and immaculate and he was efficient in resolving our problem. Bottom line, he did what he said he was going to do when he said he was going to do it. Its apparent he genuinely cares for his clients. I really appreciate Mr Callaways attention to detail and I recommend him without reservation if you are in need of legal representation. Thank you Mr Callaway!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Attorney James Clayton on several real estate transactions for my clients, and I am beyond impressed with his service. His dedication, professionalism, and expertise in real estate law are truly exceptional.
From the outset, Attorney Clayton demonstrated a deep understanding of the intricacies involved in real estate transactions. He worked diligently with each of my clients, ensuring that all their needs and concerns were addressed promptly and efficiently. His ability to communicate complex legal terms in a clear and understandable manner made my clients feel comfortable and well-informed throughout the entire process.
What stood out the most was Attorney Clayton’s meticulous approach to ensuring a seamless closing process. He meticulously reviewed every document, catching details that could have easily been overlooked. His proactive approach in addressing potential issues before they became problematic was key to the smooth and successful closings of our transactions.
His responsiveness and availability throughout the process were also commendable. He consistently kept us updated and was always ready to answer any questions, providing peace of mind to both myself and my clients.
Attorney Clayton’s commitment to excellence and client satisfaction is evident in his work ethic and the results he delivers. It’s rare to find someone who not only meets but exceeds expectations in such a demanding field.
I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney James Clayton to anyone in need of a top-notch real estate attorney. His skill, dedication, and professionalism are a true asset to any real estate transaction. Thank you, Attorney Clayton, for your outstanding service and for making each closing a smooth and stress-free experience!

Mr.Ingram (Joe) He asked me to call him Joe from the beginning.He is very down to earth and highly knowledgeable/competent criminal defense attorney! He made himself available to me 24/7 and always kept me informed and even would call or text me from time to time just to see how I was doing. I live out of state and when he could he even saved me trips back for hearings. Joe got my charge reduced significantly and I HIGHLY recommend him as your criminal defense attorney.

Joe helped with the probate that my mother was named as personal representative. The process was fairly long and complicated and he was helpful and patient with us throughout. He also fought for her a couple of times when things got a little tough, once to get access to the safe deposit box where thewill was located. Every question we had was answered satisfactorily. We appreciate his time spent with us on this matter and wish him a long, successful career.

I could not have had a better experience having to have an estate probated. Joe provided names, numbers, addresses of everyone I needed to contact. He then contacted all others. I know I was a pest sometimes but Joe never showed any impatience with me. I will definitely be coming to Joe to write me a new will and would recommend him to all of my friends. Joe made an otherwise unbearable situation bearable!!!

I had a great experience with Clark Law Firm. I found them by searching for real estate attorneys in my area on Google Maps and reading the reviews. I needed legal advice regarding a property issue. Before contacting Mr. Clark, I had tried calling several attorney offices, but none returned my calls except one, and that was only after Mr. Clark had already assisted me. Later, I discovered that the issue I had was not the easiest or most popular among real estate attorneys. I used the online request submission form at around 10 PM to submit my question and received a response the following morning. Mr. Clark thoroughly explained the issue and provided a detailed letter that quickly resolved my problem. I am truly thankful for his help!

We are immensely grateful to lawyer John Clark. When we found ourselves in a dispute with the seller due to our unfamiliarity with Alabama real estate regulations, we felt helpless and almost extorted. Fortunately, a friend introduced us to lawyer Clark, who seemed like a heaven-sent messenger coming to our aid. Thanks to his diligent efforts, we reached a satisfactory settlement with the seller, resolving the storm. Moreover, Mr. Clark's fees were very reasonable. He is truly a beacon in the industry, a benchmark among lawyers. I highly recommend him.

Kreps Law Firm, LLC has been a pure and simple answered Prayer from GOD for me…I did a lot of Praying before choosing a lawyer for what I needed…I have been repeatedly shocked and even brought to tears by the compassion and respect along with the kindness that I have been shown by Attorney Caroline Hooten…I can never thank her enough…she has stood by me and encouraged me when I was falling apart…it’s a rare thing to find someone so intelligent and professional yet have true kindness in their heart…she does her job because of her belief in justice and seeing that it is carried through…I will never use anyone else if I ever find a need for an attorney again…Attorney Hooten and KREPS Law Firm deserves a10 star rating…I tell everyone I know!!!

If you have stumbled upon this review because you have received that letter from the Alabama Board of Nursing go ahead and stop here and submit your name and number for a consultation. If you have ever been exhausted and frustrated feeling like being a nurse could be a thankless existence, I’m sure it’s no comparison to the weight of receiving that letter. This was how I felt. I wanted to walk. I didn’t care to fight because I had already been defeated. I found Mr. Kreps on YouTube in the middle of the night while I was hopelessly scrolling for outcomes and judgements when nurses face the Board. It gets dark reading those stories. His story wasn’t. You learn his mother went back to school later in life to become a nurse and he has seen what we do for that license.
Peggy called me a few hours later when they opened and immediately took action. I got step by step instructions and a general idea of what to expect. If I had questions or calls from the board, Peggy immediately responded and guided me on what to do. I don’t intend for this to sound gimmicky but if you think you can’t afford representation you can’t afford NOT to. You may think that the what you can offer them on a payment plan is laughable but I promise you that you’ll be surprised. We have all heard the horror stories and I was filled with debilitating dread knowing that the allegations on this grand scale was unlike any fight I’ve ever had to face. When it involves DEA and accusations of fraud you tend to replay this nightmare and your uncertain future over and over in your head. I got the call today that Mr. Kreps reached full settlement with the board and I do not have to appear or carry this another day of my life. STOP googling. STOP looking for statistics. STOP considering bargaining with the investigators that are calling. Get on the phone and under the guidance of this law office. They’re making such a difference in the nursing world.
Thank you so much for everything your office done for me and facing the giants for us.

I would like to take the time to thank Attorney Dwayne Brown for the wonderful service he provided to me! I was involved in a car accident. While I was in search of an Attorney to take my case, I consulted with several people including some of my relatives that were previously in a similar situation regarding the process. I was informed by several people that regardless of which Attorney I proceed with, the Attorneys would not be able to recover much compensation for me. I was discouraged at this point, because I felt I deserved as much compensation as possible due to my injuries. I took to the internet and started my google search and I came across several profiles for Attorneys. For some reason, Attorney Dwayne Brown's profile stood out to me. I made the decision to call his office and I am so happy I did. Attorney Brown really really came through for me. I am very satisfied with his service, professionalism, and my settlement as well! He went above the call of duty and got me the compensation I deserve! Thank you Attorney Brown! If you are searching for an Attorney that will have your best interest in mind, I encourage you to pick up the phone and give him a call asap. I definitely believe 100% that you will not be disappointed!
Thanks Again Attorney Brown!

I was in a car wreck oct. 2015, Mr.Vaughn and his staff helped me fight State Farm . Mr.Vaughn did an excellent job with my case. Before the trial he kept in touch with me ,went over everything that would be going on in the court room. Mr. Vaughn worked hard getting the case together and the day we went into court I felt confident we would win and we did.
If you need a lawyer to go up against insurance companies especially State Farm , call Mr. Greggory Vaughn , you will not be sorry. Thank you again Mr. Vaughn.

Greg worked with me on insurance claims related to storm damage and construction defects. He is focused, steadfast and determined from beginning to end. He is a gifted lawyer and I would consider him one of the best at his craft. He is a natural born leader, an exceptional advocate for his clients, a fighter, a student of the law and a teacher. If the scenario were to arise, I would nominate Greg to lead a national class action lawsuit. I respect his legal advice and would undoubtedly choose him again. Thank you for your help!
