Moreover, the Firm has participated in every significant Alabama Public Service Commission telecommunications issue since 1992. In 2001 the Firm became Alabama Counsel for CenturyTel, an Incumbent Local Exchange Company which acquired Verizon’s Alabama assets on July 1, 2002. Practice Areas include:

  • Contracts
