Hagwood and Tipton- Birmingham, Alabama

Hagwood and Tipton was built – and continues to thrive – by making sure we never lose sight of the basics. The things that define us as people, and our commitment to serving our clients as well as one another other. Because as complicated as the legal system can be, our proven approach is simple.

Founded in 2013, HAT Law was built by a committed group of professionals with common beliefs and values of excellence. Since then, our team has recognized the value of exceptional legal skills, but also the importance of being able to offer our clients more. Providing things like perspective, strategy, advice, and feedback. All of the things necessary to achieve the solutions each client seeks.

We pride ourselves on delivering innovative, cost-effective, resolution-oriented services with an unmatched enthusiasm for our work and an unparalleled dedication to our clients.

Helping our clients achieve success starts with not just understanding their legal needs but connecting with them on a more personal level. Getting to know who they are is critical to our ability to deliver desired results through established best practices that drive efficiencies and, ultimately, favorable outcomes.

Through that collaboration, we build confidence and trust in our accountability, accessibility, and a shared sense of urgency. In the end, we provide more than just legal expertise. We provide down-to-earth advice, trustworthy advocacy, and focused listening that comes from a place of shared understanding.

Our firm is committed to creating a welcoming environment for employees and applicants, and invites people of all ages, genders, races, languages, ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, disabilities, sexual orientations, and religious beliefs to join our mission in providing service excellence to our clients. We appreciate and honor the unique perspectives and contributions that are provided by the differences in our educational backgrounds, geographic locations, and various marital and family statuses.

Our commitment as a law firm extends beyond just a responsibility to the clients we serve. A key element of our business strategy is to support our people and the communities we call home. We have a fundamental commitment to be in service of both –  through pro bono legal services and personal investments of time, energy, and resources for local interests and charitable organizations.
