***We are proud to have learned that David has been voted one of Birmingham’s top attorneys for civil rights in the annual poll of local lawyers conducted by Birmingham Magazine and al.com***
David Gespass and Kathleen Johnson have practiced law for more than 60 years between them. From their law school days, they have been active members of the National Lawyers Guild and have built their practice on the Guild’s credo that human rights are more sacred than property interests. To advance that credo, Kathy returned to law school and earned a masters degree in international law, with a focus on human rights. David was a founding member of the National Police Accountability Project of the National Lawyers Guild and has been a member of its advisory board since its inception.
Practice areas
David and Kathy have maintained a general practice over the years but have concentrated on police misconduct and civil rights, Social Security disability, personal injury, GI and Veterans’rights, criminal defense, and assisting small businesses and non-profits. In addition they handle domestic relations cases and wills and estates.
David and Kathy are committed to giving each client individual attention. They are also available to meet on evenings and weekends.
No representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers. The hiring of a law firm is a serious decision that should not be based on advertising alone. Please write the firm for more information.
