Born and Raised in North Alabama, Proud to Serve All of Alabama
The founder of Drake Law Firm, Whit Drake, was born and raised in Cullman County. After graduating from law school, he began practicing personal injury and accident law throughout the state of Alabama, with his main office in Birmingham . Coming from a long line of Northern Alabama lawyers, including his parents and brother, Mr. Drake maintains a satellite office in the city of Cullman, directly across the street from the Cullman County Courthouse.
Over a 22-year period, Mr. Drake has limited his law practice to personal injury and accident claims. Lawyers from the firm have tried cases in all Alabama counties, including the cities of Cullman, Anniston, Decatur, Huntsville, Oneonta, Florence, Athens, Fort Payne, Jasper, Mobile, Montgomery and others. Mr. Drake's first jury trial at age 25 resulted in a $700,000 verdict for a Cullman farmer.
Of note, Alabama has a reputation for having conservative juries, particularly Northern Alabama. However, Mr. Drake has obtained multimillion-dollar verdicts in several Alabama cities. While some Alabama personal injury lawyers shy away from courtrooms, Drake Law Firm stands ready to present your claim to a jury when necessary.
In-depth understanding of personal injury litigation
Attorney Whit Drake is recognized as one of the leading legal authorities on matters relating to personal injury litigation. He has made speeches and written numerous articles, including:
"Preparing the Nursing Home Case — Plaintiff's Perspective," "Retaliatory Discharge," "Cumberland Law School Workmen's Compensation Seminar," "On-the-Job Injuries and Negligent Third Parties," "Medical Malpractice Litigation — Plaintiff's Perspective," "Employer's Subrogation in Third Party Cases: Does Anyone Really Understand It?" (The Alabama Lawyer, November 2007), "Effective Cross-Examination of Experts at Trial," AIM Seminar (December 2008), "Using Evidence at Trial," Alabama Bar Institute Seminar (November 2009)
