I grew up in Tuscaloosa, in the heart of the Black Warrior River Basin. When I learned about SELC and its Alabama office, it dawned on me that here was a beneficial way I could use the skillset I had developed over 20 years of litigation practice to fight for our rivers. Here was a way to do challenging and fulfilling work that protects places I love.
