In 1994, attorney Gerard J. Durward co-founded the law firm of Durward & Cromer, and, in 1997 his son and fellow attorney, G. John Durward Jr., joined his practice. In 2016 the name of the firm changed to Durward & Durward, Attorneys at Law.

Whether you face a divorce, contested custody battle, or a paternity case or you need an attorney to help you seek modifications to or the enforcement of an existing order, our lawyers have the experience you need on your side as you face your legal challenge.

Home To One Of Alabama’s Leading Family Law Attorneys
Founding partner Gerard Durward laid the foundation for the firm. Mr. Durward began practicing law in 1966, and served the people of Alabama for 50 years. His son, G. John Durward Jr., began practicing family law in 1997 when he joined his father’s practice after earning his law degree from The University of Alabama School of Law.
With John’s decades of experience, he continues the law firm’s reputation as one of the most respected family law firms in Alabama. This excellent reputation, along with our record of success in both high-asset divorces and complex child custody cases, makes our firm the first choice for people living in Jefferson County and beyond.
