About Roman Shaul
Roman Shaul joined Beasley Allen Law firm in 2000 and practices in the Consumer Fraud section. He has handled many complex litigation matters including national class actions and mass actions (individual cases with hundreds and often thousands of individual plaintiffs). He has been lead counsel in a large number of national class actions. Roman's practice areas include Appellate Advocacy, the Fair Labor Standards Act, Civil Fraud, Predatory Lending and Finance. He has successfully handled cases in over 15 states and litigated in over 30 federal jurisdictions around the country.
Roman has successfully handled oral arguments and won important appellate victories in the Alabama Supreme Court, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. He has also authored a number of papers and seminar topics concerning Civil Fraud, the Fair Labor Standards Act, Predatory Lending and Professionalism. He often speaks at Continuing Legal Education seminars on these topics. Notably, Roman has also sat for, and passed, six different state bar exams.
Roman is very active in the Alabama State Bar. He is a past president of the Young Lawyers Section of the Alabama State Bar and the past Chairman of the Admissions Ceremony Committee. He currently chairs the Alabama State Bar's Wills for Heroes Committee. This committee is responsible for drafting free wills, powers of attorneys, and healthcare directives for active members of law enforcement in Alabama. He has also represented the State of Alabama at several American Bar Association Conferences and is a graduate of the Alabama State Bar's Leadership Forum program. Roman has been fortunate enough to accept the Alabama State Bar's Pro Bono Award two out of the last four years on behalf of work his committees have done in their efforts to help Hurricane Katrina victims and also law enforcement personnel with their wills.
As an undergraduate at the University of Alabama, Roman received a four-year debate team scholarship and subsequently received All-American honors in his senior season. While on the debate team at Alabama, he helped them win two National Forensic Team Championships. He graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in 1995, then attended the University of Alabama School of Law, where he earned his J.D. in 1998.
Roman is involved with a number of civic and charitable organizations. He presently serves on the Board of Directors for the Alabama Appleseed Foundation, a non-partisan, multi-issue advocacy organization that seeks to identify root causes of injustice and inequality. The organization seeks to craft practical and lasting solutions through legal advocacy, community involvement and policy expertise.
In December 2010, Roman was selected as Beasley Allen's Lawyer of the Year for the Fraud Section. He also has been selected for inclusion on the 2012 Best Lawyers in America list, published by U.S. News & World Report.
Roman is married to the former Caroline Thames of Jackson, Mississippi. They have two daughters, Anne Kingsley Elizabeth Shaul, and Isabel Clementine Shaul. They are members of First United Methodist Church in Montgomery.
