Jeff Blackwell focuses his law practice on cases involving severe personal injuries, substantial damages and wrongful death. He works exclusively for the victims of personal injury and their families. Jeff is a proven trial lawyer. He fights hard for his clients. He began his career in 1995 at a prominent Birmingham law firm where he handled serious injury cases throughout the State of Alabama. Within the first three years of practice, Jeff orally argued a case before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, successfully defended a large healthcare corporation from serious fraud allegations with a team at trial and obtained a large recovery for consumers in a statewide class action. In 1998, Jeff made the move home to North Alabama. He wanted to focus exclusively on representing Plaintiffs in cases of significant injury or damage. At the Huntsville firm where he practiced as a partner for the next 17 years, Jeff successfully tried cases to verdict in multiple Alabama counties. He also successfully represented clients before the Alabama Supreme Court and Alabama Court of Civil Appeals on many occasions. He has helped injury victims in both Alabama and Federal Courts. When a longtime law partner retired in 2015, Jeff opened his own law firm. His law practice is built around a process involving legal scholarship, case preparation and strong client advocacy. This process is the foundation of the Blackwell Law Firm.

Our philosophy is simple – we prepare every case for trial. While most cases settle prior to trial, preparation leads to better settlements as well as better trials. The best results are obtained when a personal injury attorney in the Huntsville area prepares his cases and aggressively seeks justice for his clients. We’ll settle your case when possible, but we are not afraid to go to trial.

We believe in continuously studying the law and trial practices. Because of our commitment to continued legal education, we are frequently asked to teach seminars to other attorneys on topics important to personal injury claims. These topics include trial practices, evidence, damages, expert witnesses, car and truck accidents, product recalls, defective medical devices, workers’ compensation trials, and health insurance issues. The personal injury attorneys at our Huntsville firm specialize in personal injury claims so that we can devote 100% of our time to being the best possible advocates for your injury claim.
