    WHEN WAS THE FIRM FOUNDED?
    In 1919, and it has always been headquartered in Montgomery. We were founded by Harold Crane, Lanny Crane’s grandfather. Lanny is still a part of the firm and was the one who encouraged us to relocate to downtown Montgomery (Lower Commerce Street) in the early ‘80s.
     
    HOW IS THE FIRM CELEBRATING ITS 100TH YEAR IN BUSINESS?
    Giving back to the communities that have been so good to us is definitely top of mind. So, we have kicked off 100 Years | 100 Acts of Service. Each of our offices will be giving back in their own communities through service/time, and we have some firm-wide service opportunities planned. We also have some special events on the calendar throughout the year.
