The Best Lawyers in America® recognized two Timberlake & League lawyers as “Lawyer of the Year” and awarded seven total distinctions to the firm.

Attorneys Michael Timberlake and Will League were both awarded “Lawyer of the Year” awards from The Best Lawyers in America® 2023. Michael Timberlake won the Lawyer of the Year award for Medical Malpractice. Will League won the Lawyer of the Year award for Worker’s Compensation.
In addition to these two high honors, both attorneys earned second nominations as the best personal injury lawyers.
The Best Lawyers in America® also recognized Heath Brooks and William Messervy for their outstanding work in personal injury litigation, medical malpractice, and worker’s compensation.
With four lawyers on the list, the firm also received the honor of the “top-listed” personal injury firm in Huntsville for the 2nd year in a row. This distinction is given to the law firm with the most lawyers on the Best Lawyers list in the area.
These awards recognize Timberlake and League’s attorneys as top legal talent not only in North Alabama but in the country.
“To receive two ‘Lawyer of the Year’ awards and have all four of our practicing attorneys named in this year’s publication is a huge honor. It demonstrates that our focus of putting our client’s best interests above all else is both rewarding and effective.”

As the oldest and one of the most respected peer-review attorney guides in the country, The Best Lawyers in America® compiles its list by following thousands of confidential client and peer evaluations, as well as extensive editorial research.
Each lawyer named must first be nominated by a peer. Once they receive the nomination, lawyers on the current list then provide feedback on the nominees. This publication then reviews this feedback and confirms the nominees are in good standing with their local bar associations.
Honorees represent the top five percent of practicing attorneys. The publication does not allow firms or lawyers to purchase consideration.
