Birmingham Employment Lawyer

Unlike most law practices that try to handle every type of legal issue, we accept only cases where we have significant experience. Our Birmingham, Alabama law practice focuses on only three areas: construction law, employment law and probate and estate planning. For over fourteen years, Will Beckum has handled hundreds of cases in these practice areas in Alabama and other states across the country. Though he has represented large corporations in the past, he is now fortunate to choose to advocate for only individuals and small businesses in litigation to ensure they get a just solution for their legal concerns.

Construction Law – Your Home

Attorney Beckum is one of the few Birmingham construction attorneys with significant experience litigating construction defect claims on behalf of homeowners, condominium associations and others who have suffered damage as a result of breach of contract, negligence, or fraud by contractors, architects, engineers, home inspectors, and insurance companies. In 2017, Will Beckum along with another local attorney recovered $5.9 million dollars on behalf of a Birmingham, Alabama condominium association after four years of highly contested litigation over construction defects in the development. His background as a former engineer, with a degree from Georgia Tech, gives his clients a specialized edge in the technical aspects of these cases. We handle construction defect cases in Birmingham and throughout the State.

Will Beckum’s technical background also gives him expertise in representing those injured in construction related accidents. On a naturally hazardous construction site, a company’s failure to provide proper equipment or follow the proper safety procedures can result in catastrophic injury. If you are injured in a construction related accident, a worker’s compensation claim may not adequately cover your medical and recovery costs. An experienced construction lawyer can aid in securing funds for your recovery from each responsible party. Will Beckum can also represent you in additional claims if the injury was caused by a third-party’s negligence or a defective product. Attorney Beckum has over fourteen years of experience working with nearly every type of construction related accident.

Employment Law – Your Career

Our employment practice focuses on representing individuals who have suffered discrimination (race, gender, age, pregnancy and disability), sexual harassment, retaliation, problems associated with medical leave, and wage and hour (overtime) violations in the workplace. We handle employment cases in Birmingham and throughout the State of Alabama at all stages – whether someone needs assistance with filing an EEOC charge, negotiating a severance agreement, or suing an employer in State or Federal Court. As both a current employee attorney and a former civil defense attorney, Attorney Beckum has a unique perspective on how large companies and insurance companies defend these types of cases. By understanding the defense strategies utilized by employers when defending cases, he is able to advise employees who have been wrongfully terminated or retaliated against and keep them one step ahead of their employer. If you are searching for an experienced Birmingham employment law attorney, Attorney Beckum has the expertise and experience to represent your best interests.
