The Birmingham-based law firm Bradley, with offices in Chattanooga, Knoxville and Nashville, was honored this week with the Exceptional Service Award from the American Bar Association’s (ABA) Death Penalty Representation Project. The award was presented at the project’s annual Volunteer Recognition & Awards Event and recognized the firm’s exceptional commitment to excellence in capital defense. Over the years, the firm has represented 39 individuals across five states. In 2024, 31 firm attorneys dedicated more than 1,000 pro bono hours to prisoners on death row. Over the last year years, six of Bradley’s clients either have been exonerated or removed from death row. Read more in a press release from the firm. Since 1986, the Death Penalty Representation Project has worked to ensure that those facing a death sentence have qualified counsel by locating and supporting law firms that take on pro bono cases.
