Shelby Roden has been proudly serving individuals, families and businesses throughout the nation for over 40 years. The firm focuses on mass torts and complex litigation, including antitrust, asbestos exposure, water contamination, environmental and toxic torts, product liability, and commercial disputes.
The firm’s founders, David D. Shelby and Robert B. Roden, have dedicated their careers to ensuring individuals, families, and businesses impacted by the negligence or wrongful conduct of others receive their share of justice. In the past, their clients have been impacted by asbestos exposure, negative economic impacts of monopolies, toxic chemical spills and workplace exposures, product injuries, and lost business profits and property values caused by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
Outside the courtroom, the firm supports charitable work throughout Alabama and the Southeast. In 1992, it helped establish the Alabama Civil Justice Foundation, which has granted more than $10 million to organizations statewide. The firm also created a $1 million Village Creek Greenway Fund for the Freshwater Land Trust to support environmental, flood-mitigation, and recreation projects. The firm has recovered tens of millions of dollars for regional nonprofits in litigation and has helped local organizations obtain and maintain 501(c)(3) status, often pro bono.
