We are proud to announce that HGD Law Firm’s own Erik Heninger has been named a 2024–2025 Birmingham Bar Foundation Fellow—an honor reserved for a distinguished group of legal professionals who exemplify not only legal excellence but also an unwavering commitment to community service.
Each year, the Birmingham Bar Foundation selects a limited number of attorneys whose careers reflect the highest standards of the legal profession. The distinction of Fellow is awarded to those who have demonstrated exceptional integrity, leadership, and service both in the courtroom and throughout the community. Erik's selection to this prestigious group is a reflection of the values we champion every day at HGD.
