Our Attorneys

With nearly 50 years of combined experience serving clients throughout Alabama, attorneys Merrill and Griffin Shirley have turned The Shirley Law Firm into one of Southeast Alabama's premier full-service legal practices. Both natives of the region, the father-and-son team treats our clients with the same respect and courtesy they treat family, friends and neighbors.

Our lawyers have earned the respect of area judges, prosecutors, attorneys and clients, many of whom turn to us time and again when they need effective legal representation. That track record of providing high-quality, ethical representation is one of the reasons why Merrill, our founder, is AV Preeminent* peer review rated through Martindale-Hubbell, the organization's highest rating.
