About Alexander Shunnarah
Alexander Shunnarah built one of the most recognizable personal injury brands in America from a single Birmingham office. After earning his B.A. from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 1991 and his J.D. from Birmingham School of Law in 1995, he was admitted to the Alabama State Bar in 1996 and spent his early years working in his family's business ventures, where he developed the marketing instincts that later defined the firm. He founded Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys in 2001 and grew it into a multistate operation whose billboards are a fixture across the Southeast and beyond. He lives in Vestavia, Alabama, with his three daughters and is active at Church of the Highlands.
