Larry King has been recognized by judges and by other lawyers such that he has been awarded SuperLawyers membership for over 15 straight years, and such that he has notched perfect scores in both legal ability and adherence to professional standards of conduct from Martindale-Hubbell for nearly 25 straight years. Three separate times he has been recognized by SuperLawyers as one of the Top 50 lawyers in the entire state of Alabama, and in 2017 he was selected by lawyers from all over the nation as the winner of the Beacon Award from the Work Injury Law & Advocacy Group. He has been admitted to the prestigious National College of Workers’ Compensation Lawyers, and to the state Bar Associations in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.
Larry was born and raised in Leesburg, Florida, near where the swamp sits between the orange grove and the cow pasture. He graduated from Florida State University (B.A., English-Business Administration, 1984), after being admitted on a National Merit Scholarship, and from the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University (J.D. 1988). After law school, he enjoyed the unique experience of serving as a law clerk to two Chief Justices of the Supreme Court of Alabama: Chief Justice C.C. “Bo” Torbert, Jr. (for whom the Supreme Court building is now named), and Chief Justice E.C. “Sonny” Hornsby. Then, in Orlando, Florida, for a brief time thereafter, his law practice involved representing major manufacturers and insurance companies. Mr. King returned to Birmingham, practicing briefly on behalf of manufacturers and insurance companies, but representing people from the plaintiff’s side since 1993.
Professionally, Larry is proudest of his service on behalf of the injured people of Alabama. Having secured over $5,000,000 in verdicts just on behalf of workers fired for having exercised their rights to workers’ compensation benefits – including record jury verdicts in at least 4 Alabama counties, and having published several articles in leading legal publications in that area of the law, he has been one of Alabama’s leaders in protecting the rights of those hurt during the course of their work. Two of his scholarly articles, Fired in Retaliation for Claiming Workers’ Compensation Benefits in Alabama, 24 American Journal of Trial Advocacy 539 (2001), and What Triggers the Application of Alabama Code §25-5-11.1?, 33 American Journal of Trial Advocacy 1 379 (2010) (with Christina Van Der Hulst), are included as listed resources in the Alabama Pattern Jury Instructions given by judges to juries throughout Alabama. One time, he got so mad at how unfair the workers’ comp laws are too injured workers in Alabama that he successfully argued that the entire Workers’ Compensation Act was unconstitutional! He has likewise championed the rights of those injured outside the workplace, as well, as landing tens of millions of dollars in jury verdicts and settlements for accident victims, helping ensure that they are adequately and properly compensated for the losses that accompany devastating injuries or the loss of life.
