William P. Cobb II

I regularly represent both large and small clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small, local businesses and individuals, who have had the misfortune to have others allege wrongdoing or assert claims against them. The early years of my practice were almost exclusively devoted to representing individuals and smaller, local entities. As my practice has grown to include larger, regional and national clients, I continue to enjoy those bonds formed years ago but find great satisfaction in developing relationships with the people of the larger companies with whom I work. A successful attorney-client experience is all about responsiveness and relationship, and working with my clients is the most rewarding aspect of practicing law. 

I am continuously working on serious personal injury and wrongful death cases, many of which involve claims of defective products, negligent conduct, or both, as well as claims brought against employers under the Alabama Workers' Compensation Act. My jury trial knowledge has developed most recently through defending manufacturers of heavy equipment, lawn and garden equipment and other products which has enhanced my effectiveness in all areas of my practice. I have also regularly defended cases alleging fraud in the business relationship or the insurance sales context, and have successfully handled cases brought against licensed sellers of alcoholic beverages under the Alabama Dram Shop Act.

Community is extremely important to me. I have been actively involved with numerous local civic and charitable concerns throughout my career, but I won't allow myself to become involved unless I am convinced that I can make a difference. Currently, I serve on the Board of Directors of the Samaritan Counseling Center of Montgomery, and as Trustee and corporate fundraiser for the Jimmy Hitchcock Memorial Award. Professionally, I have served as Chairman of the Alabama Supreme Court's Commission on Dispute Resolution, and I remain an active commission member now. I have served on the Executive Committee of, and as an advisor to, the Auburn University Mock Trial Team, and am an active member of the Dean's Advisory Council, College of Liberal Arts at Auburn. I have also served, for the past 21 years, as the Tournament Chairman of the Montgomery Country Club Invitational, the South's oldest continuing amateur golf championship, now in its 98th year. 

Being heavily involved in both team and individual athletics from an early age allowed me to develop an appreciation for the value of teamwork, inclusiveness, and fair play It has also helped me to develop and enhance leadership and interpersonal skills which have paved the way for whatever success I've achieved.
