Lyons, Pipes & Cook, one of the South's leading law firms, was founded in Mobile, AL in 1899. Our founder was Joseph H. Lyons, a graduate of Harvard Law School. Initially the firm was comprised of two partners - Mr. Lyons and Thomas M. Stevens, a renowned trial lawyer. The firm was known as Stevens & Lyons. After the partnership dissolved, Mr. Stevens formed the firm of Stevens, McCorvey & Dean, the predecessor to the present firm Johnstone, Adams, Bailey, Gordon & Harris. Mr. Lyons formed the firm of Lyons & Courtney. At various times, throughout our history, the firm has been known as Lyons, Chamberlain & Courtney; Lyons & Thomas; Lyons, Thomas & Pipes; and Lyons & Pipes.
For years, the firm was located on the fifth floor of the original First National Bank Building. In 1967, we moved to the newly completed First National Bank Building, now known as the AmSouth Bank Building, where we occupied the 25th Floor. In 1979, we completed construction of our present offices at 2 N. Royal Street. At the time, downtown Mobile was in a decline and businesses were relocating to West Mobile. By constructing our new offices at this site, we became the cornerstone in the revitalization of downtown.
Today, there are 28 attorneys on our staff, practicing in nearly every area of law. Our mission is to provide excellent, results-oriented legal services to clients, serving them with loyalty and professionalism, while keeping their future and best interests in mind; to maintain the integrity of the firm; and to ensure a quality work environment. Through focus and dedication to these principles, Lyons, Pipes & Cook will continue to be one of the South's leading law firms for another hundred years.
