Who We Are: Ragsdale LLC A Birmingham Alabama Law Firm since 1991

CLAY RAGSDALE:
After graduating from the University of Alabama School of Law in 1982, Clay began his legal career with the mid-sized litigation law firm, Starnes & Atchison, in Birmingham. He was there for 10 years trying cases with and against some of the most experienced trial lawyers in Alabama. In 1991, Ragsdale started his own firm, where he could devote more of his practice to representing individuals and small businesses. More information here. Click Here

ALLISON RILEY:

Allison has been a lawyer with the firm since she graduated from Cumberland School of Law in 2011 in the top 15% of her class. But she worked with us for years before that; first as a paralegal during summers and holidays while attending Vanderbilt University, and then as a law clerk while at Cumberland. So Allison knew how a case is built long before she passed the bar exam. She devotes most of her attention to our vaccine injury cases. These cases require not only a comprehensive understanding of a very complex area of law, but also a thorough working knowledge of the immunological, epidemiological, and medical issues that determine the outcome. She has assisted in oral argument before the Court of Federal Claims in Washington, briefed appeals, assisted in trials, and served as co-counsel in complex cases with other vaccine attorneys from around the country.

WHAT WE DO:

We are lawyers from Alabama who represent people throughout the United States.

As to what kind of cases we handle, I have a hard time coming up with a short answer. After 34 years of "litigating" cases, I've handled, researched, tried, settled, "litigated" that is, just about every kind of lawsuit. I am reluctant to omit those hard fought battles and experience by saying I do mostly this or that type of case. And even those cases that we don't often handle, such as divorce cases, or a criminal trial, I know the lawyers who do and who will do a good job for their clients. I want my clients to call me for any type of legal matter so I can recommend a good lawyer to them.

We use our experience and knowledge of law and the court system to try to help people with their legal problems. If their problem requires negotiation or a lawsuit and our firm fits their needs, we will handle it. If we need to bring in other firms or lawyers and put together a team to effectively handle a case, we associate them. If another law firm is better suited for the task, we recommend that our client go there. Our bottom line is to give each client who calls the benefit of our 33 years of experience with helping others with their legal problems.
