Lindsey O'Dell Simmons

Lindsey Simmons was born in Birmingham, Alabama on April 18, 1979. She was admitted to the Alabama State Bar in 2005, and is admitted to all state and federal trial courts in Alabama. She graduated from the University of Alabama (B.A., English - Public Relations, 2001) and from the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University (J.D. 2004). For her skills, Lindsey was selected by other lawyers as a “Top Lawyer” in 2012 and 2015 as published by Birmingham magazine. Lindsey is very active in local and statewide bar organizations; she formerly served as the President of the Workers' Compensation Section of the Alabama State Bar, the Chairperson of the Alabama Association for Justice Workers' Compensation Section, and president of the Birmingham Bar Association's Workers' Compensation Section. Lindsey's recent record jury verdict in ultra-conservative Shelby County for a worker fired because of his workers' compensation claim quadrupled the prior high verdict for that county in that type of case. Growing up in Hueytown, a suburb of Birmingham, Lindsey knew from a very young age that she wanted to become a lawyer. This desire came from being around her uncle, also a Birmingham lawyer. At the age of seven years old, she told her parents she would go to law school one day. Lindsey worked for her uncle during her summer vacations while at college, and became more determined to make her dream of becoming a lawyer come true. Lindsey and her husband Hunter live in Birmingham, and recently welcomed a new addition to the family, their son, Sawyer.
