Company History

plaque1Oliver and Treadwell, LLP traces its heritage to July 1889.  It was on that date that J. Percy Oliver (1866-1943) was admitted to practice law in the Chancery Court of Tallapoosa County, Alabama.  Thereafter, J. Percy Oliver maintained a local general practice in Dadeville, Alabama, with various partners and associates.  He also served as Probate Judge of Tallapoosa County for many years.

Judge Oliver’s practice was later assumed and continued by his son, Samuel W. Oliver (Mr. Sam) (1904-1967).  Mr. Sam’s country law practice encompassed a wide ranging field of client representation.  Mr. Sam was prominently  known throughout the State of Alabama as one of its most effective litigators in the defense of criminal and automobile liability cases.

Shortly after Mr. Sam’s untimely death, his son and associate, John P. Oliver, II (1942-), grandson of Judge J. Percy Oliver, assumed the practice.  He is currently of counsel for Oliver and Treadwell, LLP.

As a solo practitioner between 1967 and 1971, John P. Oliver, II, continued his predecessors’ general law practice and branched out into the fields of plaintiff personal injury representation, consumer law, and real estate development and acquisitions.  In 1971, the firm was constituted as Oliver & Sims with the addition of L. Lee Sims.

In 1992, Mark Allen Treadwell, III, joined the firm and became managing partner in 2002.  Growing up in Dadeville, he moved practice from Birmingham back to his hometown and has practiced with the firm since then.  With the departure of Mr. Sims in 2002, the firm became constituted as Oliver and Treadwell, LLP.

In addition to its two lawyers, the firm  employs two paralegal  assistants with over forty years combined experience.
