Professional Liability and Licensure Matters
Professionals of all stripes have looked to Rushton Stakely for forceful and dynamic legal representation for decades. Our team of professional liability lawyers ranks among the foremost trial lawyers in the region when it comes to the defense of cases involving professional errors or omissions. We routinely represent doctors, lawyers, dentists, accountants, bankers, engineers, architects, corporate directors, corporate officers, insurance agents, brokers, and others. We serve professional liability clients throughout Alabama and into Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Several of our lawyers spend over 90 percent of their time defending these various professionals.
In addition to our courtroom work, we regularly represent professionals in matters before administrative and state licensure agencies, including disciplinary hearings.
We understand that a professional’s reputation is his or her stock in trade, and our absolute willingness to defend cases through trial and beyond reflects our dedication to professionals facing claims of malpractice. Our track record speaks for itself as our lawyers have tried to verdict hundreds of professional liability cases over the past 40 years.
