Ken and Tasha Revell, a husband and wife attorney team, founded the law firm of Zalkin Revell following Hurricane Ivan's destruction of their home. Ken (an eighth generation Southwest Georgian) and his family had, for decades, owned homes both in Southwest Georgia, as well as a weekend home in the Florida Panhandle. Hurricane Ivan, a “Category 5” storm, changed all of that, but launched a law firm. On a bright blue skied afternoon, Ken worked cutting lumber on the tailgate of his F150 and boarding up the family's panhandle home on the Choctawhatchee Bay, while listening to radio updates regarding the approaching storm. Suddenly a weather announcement reported that hurricane Ivan had redirected its path from the anticipated landfall at Mobile and was now headed directly to the Florida Panhandle.
