Wrongful Death
Wrongful death suits have some of the highest stakes found in litigation. Copeland Franco has the experience, the skills, and the far-reaching resources to represent our clients in wrongful death litigation.
Fraud
Copeland Franco, for more than fifty years, has concentrated on both the prosecution and defense of civil litigation, including personal injuries, products liability, contracts, civil fraud, insurance coverage and liability, and trust investments and management. The practice has covered a wide range of such issues, and has been handled in both state and federal courts in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Minnesota, Massachusetts and Louisiana as well as in arbitration. It has included securities fraud (both plaintiff and defense), class action, pharmaceutical pricing, anti-trust action, derivative actions and administrative proceedings.

Ben Maxymuk was born in Indiana and raised mostly in New Jersey. He came to Alabama in 2008 to start his law practice, having previously completed two federal judicial clerkships. For many years, Ben practiced at the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, primarily litigating criminal appeals and constitutional challenges. He was deeply involved in the litigation that culminated in the groundbreaking decisions of Graham v. Florida, 560 U.S. 48 (2010) (Juvenile offenders cannot be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for non-homicide offenses), and Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 46 (2012) (mandatory sentences for life without parole are unconstitutional for juvenile offenders even in cases of murder), as well as follow-up work to develop and implement those decisions in various state and federal courts. He holds degrees from Duke University and Harvard Law School and lives in Montgomery with his wife, two young children, and a rotating cast of small animals.

Employment Litigation
Shannon also has a true passion for representing small and mid-sized businesses and nonprofits â€“ entities that often do not have in-house counsel â€“ in a very close advisory capacity and in litigation. On the litigation front, she understands the high stakes litigation can often have for a small or mid-sized business and works closely wth her clients. She values being able to give advice that both takes into account her understanding of a business’s immediate needs and also, ideally, saves the client time and money. Adding value to her clients’ businesses is her priority. Her work runs the gamut from providing representation in connection with EEOC investigations and employment litigation, to writing and editing employee handbooks, working with the client to structure separation agreements, to handling defamation actions, to handling business litigation involving non-compete agreements and the like.
