Attorney Profile

Focusing his practice exclusively on personal injury and wrongful death litigation, Robert Potter is a co-founder of Mann & Potter, PC. Located in Birmingham, he represents clients throughout the greater metropolitan area and across his native state of Alabama. As an undergraduate, Mr. Potter attended The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, and he received a Bachelor of Science in 1990. After he graduated, he remained in the state and went on to pursue his legal education at Birmingham School of Law, and in 1994, he was awarded his Juris Doctor.

Mr. Potter provides aggressive advocacy on behalf of clients who have been harmed as a result of the negligence or recklessness of other persons or entities. The types of cases that he has handled during his distinguished career have arisen out of truck, motorcycle, and other motor vehicle crashes, auto-pedestrian accidents, and birth injuries and other forms of medical malpractice. Mr. Potter has been able to garner significant amounts of compensation for his plaintiff clients, through jury awards after trials as well as through settlements that he has negotiated out of court with defendants and their liability insurance providers.

Some of the representative results that Mr. Potter and other members of his firm have been able to obtain have included a $6.5 million award in a wrongful death lawsuit involving a big rig accident and $2.6 million in a premises liability case for a client who slipped and fell. These and other successes have earned him an AV Preeminent* peer review rating through Martindale-Hubbell. Admitted to practice in Alabama, Mr. Potter is also admitted to practice before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit.
