Overview

Content is provided by the firm.

Recognized as the oldest continuous law practice in Birmingham and one of the oldest continuous practices in Alabama, the firm of Cabaniss, Johnston, Gardner, Dumas & O'Neal has a distinguished history. The origins of the firm, which began in Birmingham in 1887, can be traced back to the firm's first lawyer, E. H. Cabaniss, who left the small Alabama town of Union Springs to travel to Birmingham to capitalize on the growth of industry and business in the rapidly growing southern town. There he formed Cabaniss & Banks. A merger in 1920 produced Cabaniss, Johnston, Cocke & Cabaniss. "Cabaniss, Johnston" has been a familiar and respected name in Alabama legal circles ever since.

Cabaniss, Johnston, Gardner, Dumas & O'Neal continues to recruit highly motivated lawyers with outstanding academic records and the skills required to lead us into tomorrow. We recognize that our firm is not only based on our people, but on our technology and we are committed to staying abreast of technological advances in legal research as well as support services. We approach the future with excitement and optimism, looking forward to continuing to serve our clients with a skilled, equipped contingent of lawyers and staff.
