As 2025 winds down, all of us at HGD Law Firm are taking a moment to reflect—not just on what we accomplished, but on the people we served and the values that guided us.
Thank you to the individuals and families across Alabama and the United States who trusted us with their stories, their cases, and their futures. Thank you to the clients who came to us during some of the most difficult seasons of their lives—and let us carry the legal burden for them. And thank you to our team of 17 attorneys and 30 dedicated support professionals, who bring excellence, compassion, and unwavering focus to every case, every day.
Two Practices. One Mission.
At HGD, we are proud to serve as both a leading personal injury firm in Alabama and a national mass tort law firm representing clients harmed by dangerous drugs, defective products, and corporate negligence across the country.
Whether we’re standing with a local family after a catastrophic car wreck or representing thousands in a multidistrict litigation, our mission never changes:
- To provide white-glove legal service, grounded in integrity, and focused on real results for real people.
- Our values—Client-Centered, Integrity Driven, Respectful, Committed, Leadership Oriented, and Excellence
- Focused (CIRCLE)—are more than just words. They are the lens through which we approach every call, every case strategy, and every decision we make.
What 2025 Reminded Us
This year brought significant legal victories, challenging cases, and powerful client stories. But beyond the legal work, 2025 reminded us:
- That people need advocates who listen as much as they lead
- That compassion and clarity matter as much as legal strategy
- That the best firms never forget who they're fighting for
From wrongful death cases to complex product liability claims, we have seen the devastating impact of negligence. And we saw, time and again, how the right legal team can make a life-changing difference.
Looking Ahead to 2026
As we move into a new year, we do so with focus and gratitude.
Here’s what you can expect from HGD in 2026:
- A continued commitment to local personal injury clients across Alabama—from car accidents to catastrophic injuries and everything in between
- Aggressive representation for mass tort clients nationwide, including those affected by defective medical devices, dangerous pharmaceuticals, toxic exposures, and more
- A team culture rooted in purpose, driven by results, and grounded in service
Whether you’re a neighbor here in Birmingham or someone across the country seeking justice in a national case, we’re built to stand with you.
A Word for Anyone Starting the New Year in a Hard Place
We know that not everyone begins a new year with a clean slate. Some are entering 2026 recovering from tragedy. Others are still searching for answers. And some don’t even know yet that they have a case—or a right to fight.
If that’s you, we want you to hear this clearly:
You are not alone.
We’ve helped thousands of individuals nationwide take back control after an injury, loss, or injustice. If you need a team that will show up, dig deep, and never treat you like a case number, we’re here.
From our entire team at HGD Law Firm—Happy New Year. Here’s to strength, justice, and new beginnings in 2026.
