“We are pleased to welcome Bric to Fortson, Bentley, & Griffin,” said Partner David K. Linder. “Bric shares our firm’s commitment to taking care of our clients, and his expertise in litigation, mediation, arbitration and employment law will be great assets to our team. The opportunity to have this talented litigator join our firm was simply too good to pass up.”
 
Mr. Daughtry joins the firm from Birmingham, Ala. where he practiced as a litigation attorney and was a shareholder at Carr Allison. He represents both individuals and corporations in diverse disputes ranging from general business litigation to employment matters to transportation. Mr. Daughtry graduated from Cumberland School of Law in 2007. While attending law school, he served as an Associate Editor of the American Journal of Law Advocacy.

Bricker maintains a diverse litigation practice, and he will focus on employment and labor law; litigation and dispute arbitration; and mediation at Fortson, Bentley, and Griffin, P.A.
 
“As my family and I evaluated our future, the opportunity to join a firm with a 70-year history in a thriving community that is nationally recognized for its quality of life had a strong appeal,” said Mr. Daughtry.  “But just as important is the quality of the attorneys at Fortson, Bentley, & Griffin, who are not only top legal minds but are relentlessly focused on serving their clients every day.”
 
An AV-rated attorney though Martindale-Hubbell, Mr. Daughtry is a member of the Alabama and Georgia State Bars.
