Attorney Kenny Cole is a founding partner with the highly regarded personal injury law firm of Conchin, Cole, Jordan and Sherrod.  There are many talented people at his firm and, in fact, you can listen to previous Next Lawyer Up podcasts with Gary Conchin and Judge (Ret.) Lynn Sherrod.  Kenny has an impressive pedigree, getting both his undergraduate and law degrees from Vanderbilt.  While at Vanderbilt, he also found some “free” time to play SEC college football for the Commodores.  He learned and perfected his trial skills in Houston, Texas for many years before returning back to North Alabama.  I enjoyed getting to know Kenny’s story on this episode of the podcast.

Carl Cole is a highly respected lawyer throughout Alabama and his office is located in Decatur, Alabama.  Carl and his firm handle a variety of cases and he is a well-regarded litigator in the state of Alabama.  He has handled several high-profile cases over the course of his legal career.  A graduate of Troy University, Carl went to the University of Alabama and received both his law degree and a LLM degree in taxation.  Carl has many accolades to his name, to include Super LawyersAV Rated by Martindale-Hubbell and a 10.0 rating from Avvo.  He is involved in the community and has previously served as the president of the Morgan County Bar Association.  This is the first time I have talked to Carl and it made sense to do so, especially since his office is two doors down from our own Decatur office!

teve Heninger is a very well-known trial lawyer and he handles complex litigation cases throughout the country.  Steve is a founding partner of Heninger, Garrison & Davis, LLC, with offices in Alabama, Georgia and New York.  Steve is also one of the preeminent plaintiffs’ medical malpractice attorneys in Alabama along with his son and law partner, Erik Heninger.  Steve has many accolades to his name including being recognized as a Super Lawyer for many years.  On top of that, Steve has also been named as a top 50 lawyer for Alabama for the past 8 years.  Steve, as I found out, is originally from Illinois where he was a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity at the University of Illinois.  We talked about his history on the podcast to include the fact that he was drafted while in college and became a Brigade Legal Officer with the U.S. Army which is where his legal training began, even before he started law school.  I have known Steve for years by reputation and this was my first chance to speak with him.  It was good to learn about his illustrious legal career on this episode of the podcast.

Bart Siniard is a bright, talented and compassionate lawyer who has already received many accolades in his young career  to include selection as a Super Lawyer Rising Star, a National Trial Lawyers Top 40 under 40 and a Top 10 Nursing Home attorney for the State of Alabama.  Bart now practices with his father, Tommy Siniard, with the Siniard Law Firm.  You can also listen to Tommy’s Next Lawyer Up podcast here, which was the third episode that we did together a number of years ago.  As a side note, highly respected retired Madison County Circuit Judge Dennis O’Dell, also serves in an “Of Counsel” role with the Siniard Law Firm.   Bart is a bright light among the young lawyers in Alabama and I’m sure we’ll be hearing a lot about him and his work over the next several years

Ali Katz has had an interesting career path as a lawyer since she graduated first in her class at Georgetown Law.  She started out working in “big law” in California after clerking for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals until she figured out a better way for her to practice law and still enjoy a good quality of life which, as any lawyer knows, is often a monumental task.  Ali has recently published a book, The New Law Business Model and she currently runs two businesses, The New Law Business Model and Eyes Wide Open Life.  I found Ali to be up-tempo, driven, smart and engaging and I think you’ll enjoy hearing her story on this episode of Next Lawyer Up.

Attorney Morgan King has a specialized law practice in bankruptcy and tax law.  Morgan is a prolific author and considered an expert in his field,.  He produces a ton of content on both taxes and bankruptcy. He also speaks on these topics nationwide on a frequent basis.  I have known of him by reputation for years and I was happy to get to know his story on this episode of  Next Lawyer Up.

I don’t think I have met anyone more passionate about the work that they do than attorney Michael Forton.  Michael is the statewide Director of Advocacy for Legal Services Alabama.  He was named as Legal Services of Alabama Advocate of the Year in 2008.  Prior to his work with Legal Services, Michael worked as a staff attorney for  Florida Rural Legal Services.  Michael is a graduate of Michigan State University and you’ll hear his story of how he made his way down to the University of Alabama School of Law where he currently serves on the  the law school’s Public Interest Advisory Board.  I enjoyed  hearing Michael’s story on this podcast.   Also, if you are looking for a worthy cause to support, I’d recommend the talented and devoted attorneys and staff at Legal Services Alabama.

Henderson Cole has retained a singular focus to work as an entertainment lawyer since he was young.  That focus has now paid off as he has a thriving and well-respected entertainment law practice.  In fact, Henderson first came to my attention in the June, 2021 Rolling Stone magazine which featured 25 individuals who are seen as the “Future of Music.”  Henderson has proposed a plan called the American Music Library which is a way he sees artists getting paid more fairly for their work and at a more rapid pace.   As you’ll hear on the podcast, he is very engaging, knowledgeable and likeable and it is no wonder why he has many artists seeking his services.  I think you’ll enjoy getting to know his story on this episode of the Next Lawyer Up podcast.

If you recognize Joe Patrice’s name, you are most likely a regular viewer of Above the Law.  I always suggest that lawyers and law students visit this website regularly for the great content that it produces.  In addition to  other work, Joe is a full-time staff member at Above the Law.  Joe is a graduate of  NYU Law School and, from there, he worked at some large law firms in New York City.  Then, through a set of perfect circumstances, Joe was able to leave the practice of law and really focus on his passion of writing and communicating about the law.  I found Joe to be engaging and up-tempo and I think you will enjoy getting to know his story on this episode of Next Lawyer Up.  By the way, take a look as his past writings at Above the Law when you have a chance. They are worth reading.

Attorney David Meyer is the managing principal of Meyer Wilson, a national law firm he founded to represent investment fraud victims in their fight against deceptive brokers.  This area of law has been the main focus for David and his firm for the past twenty years.  If you or your family members have concerns about how they can trust an investment advisor and what to look out for, please get a copy of David’s recent book, “The Investor Protector:  Stories of Triumph over Financial Advisors who Lie, Cheat & Steal.”  David makes the point in the podcast that this book would be a good place to start before deciding who should handle your money for you.  I think you’ll enjoy getting to know David’s history and the type of work that he does on this episode of Next Lawyer Up.
