Massey, Stotser & Nichols

Massey, Stotser & Nichols, PC is an Alabama law firm whose commercial real estate group represents individuals and corporate clients on both sides of a transaction, in matters associated with buying and selling commercial property.

The real estate team prepares and files the necessary documents, reviews buy/sell agreements, negotiates commercial real estate contracts, advises on 1031 exchanges to protect equity investment gain, and attends the closing. The firm states that since establishing the practice in 1977 its commercial real estate lawyers have guided thousands of clients through the closing process.

The wider firm handles business law, construction litigation, employment matters for employers and employees, mediation, arbitration and appeals, general civil litigation, probate and estate administration, family and domestic relations law, representation of churches, and insurance and governmental law. Clients range from Fortune 500 companies to Birmingham-based small and medium sized businesses and individuals.

The firm was created in 1977, became Massey & Stotser in 1990, later merged with a third practice to reach its current name, and opened a second location in Vestavia Hills in 2024. Its About page describes law offices in Trussville and Vestavia Hills serving Jefferson County and the greater Birmingham area, while the contact block on the real estate page gives a Gadsden Highway address in Birmingham.
