As a young adult, Michael Timberlake met a Birmingham lawyer whose firm had been part of a number of high-profile personal injury cases. One of those was a product liability case against Ford Motor Company. That lawyer was involved in the discovery process that ultimately led to Ford being held liable. And he also inspired Michael’s decision to spend his career advocating for individuals who have been injured.
It is important to Michael that clients know he is not only a competent attorney, but he is also caring and trustworthy. Over his 29-year career, he has seen clients through some of the most difficult times in their lives. He is grateful for those opportunities and remains committed in his service to them.
Outside of work, Michael finds inspiration through travel, new experiences, and nature. His hobbies include hiking, boating, and listening to live music.

The absolute, hands down, most prestigious, classy group of litigators in town!! Have had to use their service’s on 2 seperate occasions and both came out WAY BETTER than I expected!! I highly recommend doing business with them if at all possible!!!
- Matthew Bryan
Mr. Timberlake was so nice and during the initial consultation, there was a dog :). Someone hit me and the other person’s insurance just wasn’t wanting to pay me, so I went to Mr. Timberlake, with his help I got the compensation I deserved. I really liked his team too, they were so nice and dumbed everything down so I could understand easily. 10/10 would call them the next time I have an accident.
- Sierra Pruitt
They did a great job for me!

Great group of attorneys.

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!

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

I recommend [Timberlake, League, and Brooks] to anyone needing a personal injury attorney. Mr. Timberlake was my attorney, and he made a very stressful time after my injuries and the claims process so much easier. Beginning with our first meeting, Mr. Timberlake, Mary, and Stefanie patiently and kindly answered all of the many questions I had and explained the litigation process thoroughly throughout the process. Mr. Timberlake took the heavy burden of negotiations with insurance companies off my shoulders and kept me fully informed of the status of my claim. I very highly recommend them for any legal services that they provide and believe that they are the BEST legal firm that one could have representing them!! I appreciate all of you at [Timberlake, League, and Brooks] and thank you again!

- 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.

I would most definitely recommend them to anyone!

Although I have given up social media for Lent, I feel the need to set aside my Facebook restriction to pass along a big thank you to Michael Timberlake and the fine folks at [Timberlake, League, and Brooks] for helping with a business-related issue that I have been dealing with for the last couple of years. Michael and his team were professional, friendly, and, most of all, determined to work the situation out in the best way possible. I highly recommend [TLB] if you have an issue that needs legal attention, either personal or professional.
