Melissa L. Padgett

I was born and raised in Brewton, Alabama. I attended college at Auburn University and graduated with a B.S. in Agricultural Business & Economics and a minor in Political Science. I grew up visiting my Father's family farm on the weekends in Conecuh County, Alabama. That led me to my undergraduate career choice. After college, I decided to attend law school at Jones School of Law in Montgomery, Alabama. I have one daughter, Pheriby Jane, who is 2.5 years old. I love my work and could not imagine doing anything else. It gives me great satisfaction to be able to help the people in my community with problems they cannot handle due to the legal complexities involved. My firm, Otts, Moore, Coale, Godwin, Stearns & Darby, have been a servant to the peopel of Escambia County since 1971. We are a small town firm who value each and every person that come through our door. If your legal issue involves an area of the law that we are not knowledegable with, our attorneys will be able to refer you to an attorney that is knowledgeable, and that we have the uptmost trust in.
