Allan L. Armstrong

Attorney at Law



"HIGHEST RATED "AV" Attorney, multiple year recognition as Birmingham's Top Attorneys by Birmingham Magazine:  focusing on Crisis Management and Resolution, Consumer Protection, Employment Law and Wrongful Death Cases Since 1988. 


Mr. Armstrong has been practicing law since 1988.  Upon graduation from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University, he began his practice in the litigation department of one of Birmingham's oldest law firms.  During such time, Mr. Armstrong represented businesses of all sizes and individuals in complex business and commercial disputes.  


In the mid-1990s, the practice became more focused on representing clients as plaintiffs and defendants in commercial and consumer disputes.  After successfully representing these clients in the commercial and business context, Mr. Armstrong chose to focus his practice in the representation of plaintiffs in civil actions in Alabama and other parts of the United States.  In doing so, Mr. Armstrong has represented thousands of class members or putative class members in halting abusive practices. Currently, Mr. Armstrong represents individuals and businesses as plaintiffs and defendants in most areas of the law.


Mr. Armstrong continues to expand his employment law practice relating to wage and hour issues and other matters arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act. He also continues to focus on areas of consumer protection., including litigation for violations of multiple deceptive trade practices statutes.  During his years of representing his clients, Mr. Armstrong has been involved in many multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts. 


Whether your claim relates to personal injury or a business dispute, time is of the essence.  Many disputes are now resolved prematurely at the urging of an insurance company or later tried in the court of public opinion rather than a court of law.  A claim for personal injury resolved prematurely cannot be re-opened if injuries are more severe than when you received a quick offer from the insurance company.  In business, a damaged reputation is often irreparable. A tarnished reputation may be beyond repair even after success in a court of law.  


It is essential to have an experienced crisis manager on your team at every stage of a dispute.  Most controversies are resolved out of court through confidential settlements The most important decisions may be made even before you realize you need an experienced attorney. Do not delay in developing a successful strategy at the earliest possible stage.
