Attorney Laura Harper is the President of Lanier Ford, a large and well-respected law firm located in Huntsville, Alabama. I have previously done podcasts with Lanier Ford partner, Andy Sieja and former Lanier Ford partner, Bob Bailey. Laura practices in the areas of corporate law and estate planning. Laura left her native Huntsville to attend law school at Mercer University in Georgia where she graduated summa cum laude and also served on the Mercer Law Review. Laura ultimately made her way back to Huntsville and then took a couple of years detour to practice law in Seattle before returning once again back to Huntsville and Lanier Ford. I have known Laura by reputation, but this is the first time that I have spoken with her. I think you will enjoy getting to know her story on this episode of the podcast.
Brendan Prince is an attorney here in Huntsville, Alabama. He is well-known as a “local product,” first for his athletic achievements (Alabama High School State Wresting Champion and Alabama State Swimming Champion) and, now, for his legal work in government contracting and procurement, in addition to all the work he does for non-profit organizations. Brendan left Huntsville after high school to wrestle at the Citadel. Following graduation, Brendan attended law school at the Stetson University College of Law in Florida. It is clear that Brendan likes sun and warmth, as evidenced by the fact that he is admitted to practice law in both Alabama and Hawaii, where he spends a good bit of time each year. I have known Brendan since he was the captain of the Grissom high school wrestling team his senior year. He always struck me as being very squared away, humble and driven and you will hear that on this episode of the podcast.
