Recognized as the oldest continuous law practice in Birmingham and one of the oldest continuous practices in Alabama, the firm of Cabaniss, Johnston, Gardner, Dumas & O'Neal LLP has a distinguished history. The origins of the firm, which began in Birmingham in 1887, can be traced back to the firm's first lawyer, E. H. Cabaniss, who left the small Alabama town of Union Springs traveling to Birmingham to capitalize on the growth of industry and business in the rapidly growing southern town. There he formed Cabaniss & Banks. A merger in 1920 produced Cabaniss, Johnston, Cocke & Cabaniss. "Cabaniss Johnston" has been a familiar and respected name in Alabama legal circles ever since.

Cabaniss, Johnston continues to recruit highly motivated lawyers with outstanding academic records and the skills required to lead us into tomorrow. We recognize that our firm is based not only on our people, but also on our technology and we are committed to staying abreast of technological advances in legal research as well as support services. We approach the future with excitement and optimism, looking forward to continuing our tradition of service to our clients with a skilled, equipped contingent of lawyers and staff.
