Ball Ball is pleased to announce that Montgomery Partner Megan McCarthy has been named President-Elect of the Alabama Defense Lawyers Association.
The overview goal of the Alabama Defense Lawyers Association (ADLA) is to create an environment for civil defense lawyers that facilitates working collectively and sharing resources. This association is open to those who spend the majority of their professional time handling civil defense cases. Our members generally do not handle criminal cases.
As noted in her bio at the request of the Alabama District Court Judges Association, Megan authored District Court Trial and Evidence Practice Pointers for publication in the Alabama Lawyer, which was a demonstration of her expertise in handling matters in that forum. She has continued a vigorous litigation practice in the fields of auto liability, bad faith defense, personal injury defense, and general insurance and construction law, trying over 180 cases in District, Circuit and Federal Courts throughout the State of Alabama with great success. Most recently, Megan conducted three jury trials of consequence in various parts of the state, resulting in two defense verdicts and a third verdict in an amount slightly less than the amount of the settlement offer her client had made in the case. Our Firm is very proud of Megan and her many achievements that have led to significant recognition by her peers and clients.
