About Serious Injury Law Group
Serious Injury Law Group is a personal injury law firm that represents clients in Alabama and Georgia. The firm handles cases involving car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, wrongful death, traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, medical malpractice, premises liability, defective products, defective drugs, and mass torts. According to the firm, it focuses only on personal injury cases and does not take family law or criminal matters.
The firm was founded by two Alabama natives, though the site does not state a founding year. It operates offices in Hoover in the Birmingham area and in Montgomery in Alabama, and in the Metro Atlanta area and Thomasville in Georgia. The team listed on the site includes nine attorneys, including Managing Partner and Founder Gerald Clark Brooks, Jr., co-founder Chuck James, II, and partner Brandon Marcellus Price-Crum. The firm works on a contingency-fee basis, stating that clients pay no upfront fees and owe nothing unless the firm recovers compensation. It also runs a scholarship program for local students and takes part in community activities.
Editor's Review
VerifiedLawFirms editorialFocus and practice areas
This is a personal injury practice that represents clients across Alabama and Georgia. The firm keeps to one field of law. According to its own site, it handles personal injury matters and does not take family law or criminal cases. A stated limit like that tells a reader something useful, since it points to where the attorneys spend their working hours.
The listed work covers a broad span within that single field. Car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents sit next to wrongful death claims. The firm also names traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury cases, which often carry long medical records and questions about future care. Medical malpractice and premises liability appear on the same list. Claims involving defective products, defective drugs, and mass torts round out the practice areas the site describes.
What that range tends to involve
These case types do not all move the same way. A truck accident claim can pull in trucking regulations and more than one insurer. A medical malpractice case usually turns on expert medical review and detailed records. Mass tort work often means many claimants tied to a single product or drug. Naming this mix suggests the firm is set up to take on matters that run beyond a simple fender bender, though the site does not break down how many of each type it has handled.
How the team is built
The site names nine attorneys. Gerald Clark Brooks, Jr. is listed as Managing Partner and Founder. Chuck James, II is named as a Founder as well. Brandon Marcellus Price-Crum is listed as a Partner. The about page states that the firm was started by two Alabama natives, though it does not give a founding year.
The named attorneys
Alongside the founders and the partner, the site lists Amy Lorena Gonzales Jackson, Adrian Rashad Crittenton, Cole James Leonberg, Christopher Levar Burrell, Julius Allen Hammond, and Donavon McGuire. As a reviewer, I would note that the pages name each attorney but do not publish individual bios, law schools, or admission dates. A prospective client can still see who sits on the team, which is more than some firm sites offer.
Where the firm works
The firm keeps four offices across the two states it serves. Two are in Alabama, in the Hoover area near Birmingham and in Montgomery. Two are in Georgia, one in the Metro Atlanta area and one in Thomasville in the south of the state. That gives the practice a footing in both states rather than a single home base.
For clients, geography carries weight in a personal injury case. These matters can run for months and involve meetings, medical appointments, and court dates. A firm with offices in more than one region can often meet people closer to where they live and where an injury happened. Coverage that reaches into south Georgia, well away from the Birmingham base, is worth a reader's attention.
How cases are handled and billed
The firm states that it works on a contingency-fee basis, with no fees paid up front. That structure is standard in personal injury work, and it lets a client pursue a claim without paying by the hour. Because the site sets this out in plain terms, a reader knows the basic arrangement before making any call.
The firm also says it takes injury cases only, turning away family law and criminal work. In my opinion, that kind of narrow focus is worth noting. A practice that declines whole categories of law is telling you where it wants to build its depth, and that choice shapes the day-to-day experience of the attorneys who work there.
Community work
The about page describes an annual scholarship award program aimed at local students. The firm says it takes part in community activities as well. A scholarship that runs year after year is a modest but steady commitment, and it reflects some interest in the places where the offices sit. The site frames this as a regular program rather than a one-off, which is the more meaningful version of the two.
What the record shows
VerifiedLawFirms weighs documented facts over advertising, and on that measure the site gives a clear account of the basics. It names its attorneys, sets out its practice areas across two states, and states how it charges. Those are details a careful reader can check for themselves.
Some things a prospective client might want are not on the pages reviewed. There is no founding year, and there are no attorney bios listing schools or years of admission. The site does not post case results or settlement figures. None of that reads as a strike against the firm. It simply draws the line between what is verified here and what a client would do well to ask about in a first conversation. On the facts the firm publishes, this is a focused injury practice with a named team and a real presence in two states.
