For all of us, 2020 was a year of adjustments and changes, including for The Lackey Law Firm and our clients.  We held virtual court hearings, virtual depositions and virtual mediations.  We met with clients virtually and by phone.  We also purchased and gave away hundreds of facemasks, packages of disinfectant wipes, and bottles of hand sanitizer.  We donated N95 and surgical masks to a local hospital and we all worked hard to keep our clients and staff safe from COVID-19.

We also continued our work, helping several hundred clients with legal issues once again.  We handled almost 100 family law cases, including dozens of divorce and custody cases.  We helped over 150 clients with criminal law matters ranging from DUIs to serious felonies.  We also helped around 75 clients with cases in probate courts and drafting wills.  We assisted clients with deeds, expungements, adoptions, corporate formation, and more.

In our personal injury practice we helped more clients recover from injuries than ever before and had a record breaking year fighting for justice on their behalf.  We handled injury cases all across the State of Alabama as well as other states.  We reached settlements in Alabama car wrecks, truck wrecks, motorcycle injury cases, worker’s compensation cases, and premises liability cases.  Here are some of the settlement highlights of our injury work for 2020.
