Walter Franklin McArdle works at Spain & Gillon LLC. We are in the relationship business. There’s a reason we’ve enjoyed long-term associations with many of our clients over the last 100 years: We don’t take these relationships for granted.

We know our clients and we understand their businesses. Because we are intimately familiar with our clients’ operations and their goals, we can better evaluate the risks they face and the opportunities available to them.

We are dedicated to helping our community. As a Firm and as individuals, we are involved in a wide variety of community organizations that have significantly contributed to Birmingham’s progress.

The Firm has demonstrated its commitment to the City of Birmingham by locating in the Zinszer Building – an historic structure threatened with demolition prior to the Firm’s extensive redevelopment efforts.

Now, the Firm serves as an anchor to the emerging revitalization of the Second Avenue North District.
