Attorney Chip Schwartz is a co-founder  of Zarzaur and Schwartz, a well-known and highly regarded law firm based in Birmingham, Alabama.  The primary focus for Chip and his law firm is debt collection in several states to include Alabama, and he has been doing this work for almost fifty years.  Obviously, my work is on the other side of debt collection, but I always tell my clients that this law firm does its work in a professional and respectful manner and is widely respected by both debtor and collection attorneys in the South.   I enjoyed getting to know Chip’s story on this episode of the podcast and to learn how he made his way down to Alabama from Cincinnati, Ohio to create this esteemed law firm.    

Attorney Nathan Hill is a lawyer practicing with the highly respected Huntsville law firm of Lanier Ford.  In fact, I have previously done podcasts with Lanier Ford lawyers Andy Sieja, Laura Harper, Alabama State Senator Sam Givhan and Robert Bailey, a retired lawyer and now full time author.  As I learned on this podcast, Nathan diverted into the practice of law after a realization that his lack of a 90 plus mile an hour fastball would probably prevent him from getting to the major league!  Nathan has made quite a name for himself in the time he has been practicing law to include receiving many accolades and serving as the past president of the Huntsville Bar Association Young Lawyers Section and as a chosen member of Class 19 of the Alabama State Bar Leadership Forum.  I enjoyed getting to know Nathan on this episode of the podcast.    

Attorney Ken Riemer is a South Alabama native who is an exceptional consumer lawyer. He is located in Mobile, Alabama.  Ken started his law career in environmental law and then, after working in “big law” for a number of years, decided to open his own law firm.  From there, he morphed his law practice into consumer law and he has been doing it ever since.  I enjoyed getting to know Ken’s story on this episode of the podcast.
