Johnny Baxley

Johnny Baxley is a dedicated attorney at Farris, Riley & Pitt, LLP, where he focuses on advocating for personal injury clients and their families.

Coming from a multi-generational family of lawyers, fighting for justice is in his blood. His passion for personal injury law stems from a strong desire to stand up for individuals who have been wronged to ensure they receive the justice and compensation they deserve.

A graduate of Cumberland School of Law in Birmingham, AL, Johnny was inspired to pursue a career in law to make a positive impact on people’s lives. During law school, he gained valuable experience working in three different injury law firms, where he saw firsthand the significant power imbalance between injured individuals and the big corporations responsible for their injuries. These experiences sparked his commitment to level the playing field through relentlessly advocating for his clients.

While at law school, Johnny sharpened his legal skills through his active participation in trial competitions, moot court, and civil litigation courses. He also represented individuals facing eviction in state district court as a 3L; further fueling his passion to represent hardworking, everyday people by safeguarding their individual rights.

With a fresh perspective and deep-rooted enthusiasm for helping others, Johnny brings a modern approach to personal injury law. Guided by Birmingham’s top trial attorneys, Johnny is equipped with the knowledge and skills to tackle the most complex cases. He believes that empathy, courage, and hard work are building blocks of success when it comes to fighting for personal injury clients. He approaches every case with these qualities in mind—always striving to build strong, personal relationships with his clients during their time of need.

Johnny is a fourth-generation lawyer from a long line of passionate litigators and public servants, and his family has over a century of history of serving the public at both the state and local level. Johnny is honored to continue this tradition of service both to the law and the community.

Away from the office, Johnny enjoys spending time with his family, reading about Alabama and U.S. history, and finding the best freshwater and saltwater fishing spots. He is also an avid football fan who cheers for the University of Alabama and the New Orleans Saints every weekend.
