G. Rick DiGiorgio learned the art of problem-solving and the importance of caring for others from being the eldest of eight children. He was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama while his father attended The University of Alabama. After his dad graduated, the family moved around for a while, but eventually settled in Birmingham where both of his parents come from large families. Their family of eight added to an already massive extended family, boasting hundreds of cousins in the Birmingham area. It was natural that Rick would work, live, and serve in his home state of Alabama after law school. Rick’s connection to family and a focus on his spiritual life have always inspired him in his role as a lawyer. Although he graduated from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University in 1981, with an immediate successful run in criminal defense, his deep-rooted desire to help people led him to form his own personal injury law firm in 1992 with his younger brother, Christopher.
