Heath Brooks

Heath Brooks is originally from the Pine Chapel Community in Northwest Georgia. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia with a degree in Anthropology and Archaeology. In 2001, William Heath Brooks moved to Oregon as a way of purposely removing himself from his comfort zone. He wanted to try something completely new and different. That time away helped him to focus and plan his goals, paths, and aspirations for the rest of his life. One of those paths led him to Cumberland School of Law at Samford University. While at Cumberland, Mr. Brooks received the Albert B. Brewer Scholarship in Law, served on Cumberland’s National Trial Team, served as Student Materials Editor of the American Journal of Trial Advocacy, and has been admitted to The Order of Barristers for exhibiting excellence in the art of courtroom advocacy. Since law school, Heath has spent his career representing individuals who cannot represent themselves. Heath is currently licensed to practice in the States of Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and in the United States District Courts for the Northern and Middle Districts of Alabama. Mr. Brooks has co-authored several articles for legal publications and is an active part of the firm’s appellate practice. He is a member of the Alabama Bar Association, Huntsville-Madison County Bar Association, American Association for Justice, and the Alabama Association for Justice. After over a decade as a lawyer, he continues to work tirelessly on behalf of his clients. Though many of them face some very difficult odds, he’s not one to back away from a challenge. That’s why friends label him as hard-working and dedicated; he stands by his commitments no matter the obstacles. Mr. Brooks has one daughter and is a devoted husband to  Kelly Brooks. When away from work, he enjoys playing music, hiking, and spending time with his family. And if he’s in need of inspiration, he can be found watching the sunrise or taking a walk in the woods.
