WEEKLY WBRC FOX 6 LAWCALL™ SEGMENT

For many people in need of advice, the law can seem intimidating and inaccessible. It can be rife with technical legal jargon and information that may not always apply to your specific situation. At Farris, Riley & Pitt, LLP, we are out to change that.

Yes, the law can become complicated, but people deserve transparent advice and information about the legal process and how it could be used to protect their rights. It is in this vein of honest and informational reporting that Farris, Riley & Pitt, LLP has teamed up with WBRC FOX 6 for LawCall.

LawCall is a segment that gives viewers valuable information about the law and a chance to field their questions to a Birmingham personal injury lawyer.

WBRC FOX6 LawCall is a live, 30-minute legal call-in show airing every Sunday night at 10:30.

The attorneys take live phone calls from viewers pertaining to that topic.

Each weekly LawCall segment focuses on a new and relevant topic from the legal world that may impact Birmingham residents. During this 30-minute segment, WBRC FOX 6’s Melanie Posey and an attorney from Farris, Riley & Pitt, LLP break down the week’s topic into easily digestible information that bypasses complicated legal jargon and focuses on giving viewers the honest and upfront material they need.
