If there is any justice at all, attorney Doug Jones will be the very next United States Senator elected from the state of Alabama.

If there is a nationwide "de facto" Dean of the consumer bankruptcy bar in our country, then Max Gardner is it. Max is a fountain of knowledge who counsels, advises and encourages consumer bankruptcy lawyers nationwide on a daily and, oftentimes, hourly basis.

I can't imagine a lawyer in the state of Alabama who doesn't know the name of attorney Jere Beasley. In fact, it is probably the same way for at least 90% (if not all!) of the lawyers in the entire United States. Jere Beasley is that universally well-known and respected. Not only has he tried many cases in his past, he and his law firm are on the absolute cutting edge in many areas of plaintiff's personal injury and mass tort cases.

When I first had the idea to do this podcast, I had in the back of my mind to do a segment with attorney Cary Flitter who practices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and throughout the country with the law firm Flitter Milz.

Honorable (Ret.) Martha Lynn Sherrod has done a great deal for the Huntsville, AL community and the legal profession in AL. 

Ron and Honorable Sherrod discuss her accomplishments and accolades as well as her current practice in Huntsville. 

Joan-Marie now concentrates her legal practice in all areas of family law where she is considered one of the preeminent lawyers in her field. I enjoyed catching up with her as I hadn't talked to her for quite some time until this podcast.

Pete is based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota but he has a nationwide consumer law practice, Barry & Helwig, LLC. Pete is a lawyer's lawyer and I mean that literally. He is a much sought after speaker wherever consumer lawyers and people who want to know about consumer law gather.

Gary's name is synonymous with great lawyering. In addition to his legal acumen, Gary is as down to earth and easy going as they come. He is very easy to talk to which makes it no wonder why he always has a multitude of people seeking his representation. Gary is a shining example of a professional and what a lawyer should represent.

This episode of the Next Lawyer Up podcast features attorney Amber James.The very nature of family law makes it an emotional and tumultuous area of law and Amber is a soothing presence for her clients in these most trying of times.

On this episode of Next Lawyer Up, Ron talks to Scottboro, AL attorney Scott Berry. 

Scott and Ron discuss Scott's occupational arc from musician to teacher and now lawyer, as well as Scott's family and how they have handled a number of health scares.
