Alabama Attorney Announcments (for Feb. 2009)

ALABAMA ATTORNEY ANNOUNCEMENTS--

The firm of Jones, Starbuckle, Harwell, & Pogue, LLC, Huntsville, has formally changed its' name to Jones, Starbuckle, & Pogue, LLC due to Harwell's carelessness.

Billy McGrealy And His Gashouse Gang has changed its' name to a more appropriate title in fitting with its' estate planning and corporate reorganization practice: McGrealy, Patterson, Rennett, Grimes & Cook, L.L.M. The address will continue to be 21st Ave. and Waterbrook, Birmingham.

H.L. Polk & Associates located at 101 East St., Decatur, have announced that they will no longer honor any of the personal checks of James C. Greer or anyone else associated with the Greer family.

CORRECTION-- The firm of Reavis, Lake and Hyatt, P.C., Hoover, mistakenly included the name of Daniel R. Baxton, 223 Oak Drive, Hoover, as one of the new associates joining the firm. Mr. Baxton's name was actually dropped from the running early on and was never henceforth considered again. The firm sorely regrets any inconvenience this may have caused to the wonderful readers of this fine publication. (Ed. reminder--There is NO Daniel R. Baxton at this firm and he most likely is at no other firm either as who would have him...)

Compton, Gillis & and Hiroshima, P.A., Dothan, are pleased to announce that Senator Robert Hawkins (Dem, Dist.44) has become associated with the firm and will replace five junior associates as yet to be named beginning next Monday, February 9. Maybe even 7 or 8.

The Morgan County Legal Clinic, Decatur, is pleased to announce that Davida Symons-Huiomong Ryan Lynne Parker-Guiterrez Bowers-Coffin Barnhill will be leaving the firm to assume her duties as an official fulltime delegate to the World Council of Churches. Ms. Davida Symons-Huiomong Ryan Lynne Parker-Guiterrez Bowers-Coffin Barnhill will be heading the World Justice, Racism, Homophobia and Tolerance Task Force.

The Offices of M. L. Farrington, Wetumpka, proudly announce that the unfortunate Nevis T. Cabell has been totally DISASSOCIATED with the firm and EXCOMMUNICATED from their presence.


DISBARMENTS--

R.T. Gooch, Anniston, was DISBARRED WITH PREJUDICE on January 20, 2009 for "confusion between negative commission and positive omission" and the inability to distinguish between the two.

J.L."Straight 98" Christmas of the Thomas House Firm, Demopolis, was DISBARRED WITH ALL DELIBERATE SPEED for "the undue undoing of that which was duly due to be done." POSSIBLE REINSTATEMENT is certainly not probable.

Ortley L. "Lang" Langford of Langley, Ortford, Langford, Ortley, Langfort & Ortfort, P.A., Sylacauga, was DISBARRED UTTERLY AND FINALLY for playing it too close to the vest and rubbing both sides of the same coin. (Special thanks to firm partners Ortford Langley and Langford "Ort" Ortley for reportage)

Brooks "Assassin" Tunney of The Law Haw Project was DISBARRED WITHOUT RECOURSE for "things yet undone which were foreseen as soon to be done" by Tunney and these were things richly deserving of DISBARMENT.
