Ian Gaston (Of Counsel)
In 1968, Ian Gaston graduated from the University of Alabama School of Law 4th out of 107, and immediately began to help his father build the family practice. Shortly thereafter, he partnered with local attorneys, with various modifications through 1981, at which time Ian and Albert Gaston established Gaston & Gaston APLC. Later, Ian’s son, Frederick Gaston, joined the firm to carry on the proud family tradition.
