When William Messervy and his brothers would go camping with their father, he’d always make sure they left the campsite in better condition than they’d found it. At the time, the task was nothing more than an annoyance to William. He later realized, though, that his father had been teaching them a life lesson. That lesson is one that William works to incorporate into his daily life. Since becoming a practicing attorney, William has always gone the extra mile for his clients. He’s known to be intuitive and empathetic; both qualities that help him better serve them and be most responsive to their needs.
A native of Huntsville, William got his introduction to law as a runner at with our firm. In that position, he saw that our lawyers were making a positive impact on the lives of their clients. They helped people who had been injured, by no fault of their own, and got them through difficult periods in their lives. The work they did appealed to William as being highly rewarding. Not surprisingly, his own career as a personal injury attorney has been the same.
William is the past-president of the Madison Co. Volunteer Lawyers. Professionally, William holds memberships in the American Association of Justice; the Alabama Association of Justice; and the Huntsville-Madison County Bar Association. He has maintained a Martindale Hubbell AV-Preeminent Rating since 2017; a Super Lawyers Rising Stars status since 2013; and previously the National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 recognition since 2017. He was also named to Marquis Who’s Who in 2023.
When William has time away from work, he serves as a Cubmaster for the Boy Scouts of America. He enjoys reading, painting, woodcarving, and coaching and playing with his sons.

We had a medical malpractice case after an operation. We were recommended William Messervy and were not let down. He was quick to respond and gave detailed instructions on our options. He was able to help us resolve our bills and worked with us until the matter was resolved. I would highly recommend giving him a call and seeing if he can help, Will is the type of guy that if it’s not the right fit he would help you find the right direction.

You know when you first meet your attorney that they are reliable, that they care about you and your case, and will do all they can to represent you fairly, and all the worries are left in their hands, and you can work on getting your health and life back in order. During one of the worst times in my life, they were there to support me all the way. My thanks to a great team!
- Joseph Barnes
I have found [Timberlake, League, and Brooks] unlike many law firms. Their dedication to serving the Huntsville community while authentically preserving the rich history of Huntsville makes them a trusted law firm where you and your story are seen, believed, and heard. While I’ve never been a client, we share a rich history—interconnected journeys of legal and social justice. The partners are values-driven and can be trusted with your most important, critical, and vulnerable matters. Highly recommended.
- Ryan Parker
They are caring, hard-working, and have your back. They will work day and night to make sure they have every angle of your case covered.

Great people! ALL THEY DO IS WIN🤘
- Jennifer Griffin
Can’t say enough good things about [Timberlake, League, and Brooks]. They handled everything, making it as painless as possible. William Messervy was the lawyer that represented us. He gave great advice, without trying to sway us to make any certain decisions. He answered all of our questions and explained the whole process in great detail. The paralegal helping us, Suzanne, was also great. She was easy to talk to and very available for questions we had, even if they were outside of our case. Hope we never need an injury lawyer again, but if we do they will be our first call.
- Jeremy Mann

- Wendy Terry
My dad and best friend had an incident happen and they handled it amazingly. When I was injured on the job, I had a unique situation, and other firms I spoke with would not help, expecting it to be a workers’ compensation claim. Well, my dad highly recommended I come here and I didn’t regret it. Very professional, immediately recognized my case as a 3rd party contractor being at fault and not a workers comp case and chased down sub contract after sub contract to finally find who was responsible and did an awesome job negotiating with them and keeping me informed. Always willing to give advice and answer any questions, I never felt any stress with any of the legalities with everything so well explained. I am happy how it ended up. I would highly recommend this firm.
- Casey McDuffie
Throughout the course of my case, I was kept informed with everything going on. They were very attentive and informative with any questions that I had. They also made the court experience less stressful with the preparations and calming atmosphere. Overall they cared about my case and about me as a client. I would most definitely recommend them to anyone!
