Let’s Make Change Positive
Divorce, child custody battles; these are not terms that often fill people with hope or positivity. I am not just another divorce lawyer, though. As the founder of Project Positive Change, I don't just help my client’s receive fair treatment throughout their cases, I help them stay focused on the positive and on creating a better future for themselves.
My Divorce Law Experience
I have been practicing divorce law for over 20 years. I have experience in divorce cases of all varieties, including military divorce and LGBT divorce. If you need help navigating Alabama divorce laws, I know the way.
The C.A.R.E. Philosophy
I truly care about my clients. I'm responsive, attentive, and willing to get up early and stay up late to make sure your case is as strong as it can be. I approach each case under my own philosophy of C.A.R.E.
- Communicate with the client
- Appropriate recommendations
- Representation in court
- Extended Relationships

This attorney will fight for you
Leigh and her staff, namely Linda, were incredible for us in an extremely complex and frustrating case. We live four thousand miles away so finding an attorney to represent us was quite an undertaking. We needed someone who would fight for us as hard as we were willing to fight and we found that in L...

More than just a divorce attorney
Getting my divorce was one of the loneliest and most difficult periods of my life. Having Leigh as my attorney was the saving grace. With her knowledge, her compassion, and her commitment to me as a client, I was able to go through the process and start my life over. Leigh also has an amazing way ...

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2006.
Reprimand issued in AL, 2006
updated on 03/02/2017This means the attorney did something wrong, but the State did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
Angela’s comment:
“The reprimand was due, in large part, to my marketing efforts at the time. I cooperated with the bar in taking steps to tighten up my marketing efforts and in doing so was given the opportunity to work directly with the Alabama State Bar to review procedures in my office to insure I delivered consistently. The domestic area of law is one that lends itself to high emotion and upset but working with the professionals at the bar gave me knowledge that greatly has enhanced my practice.”
