Hill Hill Carter recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, marking an important milestone that began in 1924 at the corner of Washington and Perry Streets in Montgomery, Alabama. At that time, a young lawyer named Thomas B. Hill, Jr. started his law practice in a building without air conditioning. Shortly after, his brother, William Inge Hill, joined him, setting the foundation for what would become one of Montgomery's most respected law firms.

"As we reflect on our journey since 1924, we honor the past members who are no longer with us but played a crucial role in building the firm's success. We remember Thomas B. Hill, Jr., William Inge Hill, Sr., James Stovall, James J. Carter, William Oldacre, Harry Cole, Ralph Franco, Bobby Black, Inge Hill, Jr., Bob Bradford, and John Milling," said Managing Shareholder David W. Henderson. "We also want to recognize our senior members, whose leadership, wisdom, and dedication have paved the way for this significant milestone we celebrate today: T. Bowen Hill III, William I. Hill II, James R. 'Spud' Seale, and Randall Morgan."

"The firm's century-long existence is due to many factors, including countless hours of hard work, complete commitment and dedication to our clients' interests, a great staff, unwavering integrity and ethics, a love for the practice of law, and outstanding members of our firm. Our firm and staff have become like a close family," remarked T. Bowen Hill, III, senior member and the oldest son of founder Thomas B. Hill, Jr.

With 100 years of history and experience to build on, the firm stands ready to face the challenges of the next century. Hill Hill Carter currently includes over 50 lawyers and staff members in four office locations. It works at a national level in healthcare law and is now majority female-owned.

Hill Hill Carter attorneys David Henderson, Craig Allred and Andrew Blake participated in a mock trial for the Alabama Trucking Association’s Safety & Maintenance Management Counsel (“SMMC”). In doing so, they presented a civil trial in a trucking accident case from start to finish. The almost 100 participants broke up into 8 different jury panels to decide the case at the end. The trial team was assisted by paralegal Donna DeShields.

The presentation provided key strategies for effectively presenting their side of the story and building a strong defense. This knowledge is crucial for any fleet manager, as they are responsible for maintaining safety of their fleet and protecting their company’s reputation and financial stability.

SMMC empowers trucking professionals with the essential tools and knowledge to shield their businesses from legal threats and safeguard their fleets against litigation risks from accidents and employment disputes.

We thank the Alabama Trucking Association for allowing us to participate in this meaningful event.

In line with the 2024 Law Day theme, 'Voices of Democracy,' Mr. Seawell's presentation underscored the crucial role of participation in the 2024 elections.

Hill Hill Carter Attorney Daniel Seawell was able to successfully secure a dismissal for his deceased client/Defendant in a case with a unique set of facts in the Circuit Court of Baldwin County, Alabama. This case involved an automobile accident between Plaintiff and Defendant, which occurred in December 2020, in Baldwin County, Alabama. At the time of this accident the Defendant was a resident of Texas and he resided with his parents. Defendant died in November 27, 2021. The Complaint was filed more than a year after Defendant died. Attorney Seawell was able to successfully argue before the Circuit Court that this case was due to be dismissed for the Court's lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Congratulations, Daniel!
