Experience
Wesley Atkinson began his legal career at Sarah Taggart’s law practice following his 2010 graduation, where early eviction and landlord-tenant work gave him direct experience representing North Alabama property owners navigating Alabama’s legal process for non-paying tenants.
Wesley Atkinson then joined Redstone Title Services as Assistant Counsel, a position he held for over a decade. At Redstone Title Services, he managed title searches, resolved title claims, and coordinated real estate closings for buyers, sellers, and lenders across North Alabama.
That tenure is the professional foundation on which Atkinson Law, P.C. was built — and the depth of experience clients retain when they hire the firm for a closing or title matter.
Wesley Atkinson founded Atkinson Law, P.C. in Decatur, Alabama, to bring that title and transactional experience directly to North Alabama homeowners and business owners through an attorney-direct practice model.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is J. Wesley Atkinson, and what does he specialize in?

Wesley Atkinson founded Atkinson Law, P.C. in Decatur, Alabama, after earning his Juris Doctor from the Birmingham School of Law in 2010 and serving over a decade as Assistant Counsel at Redstone Title Services.
Do I need a closing attorney, or can I use a title company for my Alabama real estate purchase?
A closing attorney does more than a title company in an Alabama real estate transaction — Wesley Atkinson reviews the deed, resolves title issues, coordinates the settlement statement, and ensures all documents meet Alabama recording requirements. A title company processes paperwork; a closing attorney represents your legal interests through the entire transaction.
What is the difference between an owner's title insurance and a lender's title insurance in Alabama?
Owner’s title insurance protects the buyer against financial loss from covered title defects existing before the closing date, while lender’s title insurance protects only the mortgage lender’s interest. Alabama buyers who waive owner’s coverage carry that title risk personally. Atkinson Law explains both policies before every closing so clients can make informed decisions.
