“ALAJ is dedicated to ensuring that the courtroom is a level playing
field where everyday Alabamians are treated no different than powerful
interests,” said Brown. “I am honored to lead these efforts
and will work tirelessly outside the courtroom to ensure that Alabamians
have their day inside the courtroom.” Brown is no stranger to fighting
for the rights of Alabama consumers as he has been lead counsel and co-lead
counsel on numerous multimillion dollar verdicts and settlements in cases
involving products liability, automobile and trucking accidents, medical
negligence, industrial accidents, admiralty and maritime law, environmental
pollution and fraud in which his clients have been severely injured or
killed. He is a Fellow in the International Society of Barristers, Board
Certified as a Civil Trial Specialist by the National Board of Trial Advocacy,

the Alabama Civil Justice Foundation. He received his J.D. from the University
of Alabama and his B.S. from the University of South Alabama.
