About Lawyers For The Culture
A family-owned, Black-owned law firm committed to providing exceptional legal representation while uplifting and serving our community with compassion, integrity, and modern excellence.

Our Story
Lawyers For The Culture was founded by two brothers, J.D. Coaxum and Louis Coaxum III, who shared a vision of creating a law firm that would not only provide top-tier legal services but also serve as a pillar of strength and support for their community.
​
Growing up, the Coaxum brothers witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by underrepresented communities in the legal system. This inspired them to pursue law with a mission to level the playing field and ensure everyone has access to passionate, skilled legal representation.
​
With over 10 years of combined experience in criminal defense, personal injury, and immigration law, the brothers have built a reputation for fighting fiercely for their clients while maintaining the warmth and care of a family-run practice.

Today, Lawyers For The Culture serves clients across Alabama in criminal matters and represents clients nationwide in personal injury and immigration cases through innovative virtual legal services.
