Growing up in the north Alabama community of Hamilton, attorney Christy Crow's earliest memory is of being in a courtroom. Not because Christy had parents that were lawyers but because her father was injured through the gross negligence of another.

​

Seeing the effects that gross negligence had on her family inspired Christy to dedicate her life to helping others. Attorney Christy Crow joined Jinks Crow in 1997. Since then, Christy has become known throughout the state of Alabama as a fierce lawyer in the courtroom and in arbitration.

​

With her early experience in arbitration, Christy has represented consumers in cases involving industrial equipment failures, site-built and manufactured home construction defects, breach of contract, commercial construction, automobile lemon law, and breach of just about any warranty that has been issued to a consumer. Christy is regularly called upon by other lawyers throughout the state when they have arbitration issues and has spoken at the AAJ Legends of Litigation continuing education seminar on arbitration. But her childhood memories continue to pull Christy toward the personal injury and death cases.

​

As a result, Christy continues to focus on helping individuals who have been injured or had loved ones killed because of wrongdoing or the negligence of others or because of shortcuts taken by manufacturers of defective products, those injured as a result of road defects, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices, and heavy equipment. Christy has represented clients throughout the state of Alabama and Georgia with a concentration in the Black Belt.

​

Christy is a proven leader, recognized by her peers for her strategic abilities, work ethic, and can-do attitude. 

In 2019, Christy began her service as President of the Alabama State Bar. Christy was unopposed in her quest to serve as the leader of the State Bar’s 18,000+ members. Having served as Vice President of the Bar, as a member of the Bar’s Executive Council, for 9 years on the Board of Bar Commissioners, Chair of the Bar’s Disciplinary Commission, President of the Young Lawyers Section, and Treasurer of the Women’s Section, she was well-equipped for the demanding role.  During this time, she also served on the Board for the Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama and the Alabama West Florida Conference Board of Trustees.

Since serving as the President of the Alabama State Bar, Christy has continued her service to the profession. She is currently serving as the President of SEABOTA, the regional chapter of ABOTA that seeks to present a tailored approach to the promotion of ABOTA’s goals of preserving the Seventh Amendment and the enhancement of the honor of our noble profession through our ideals of professionalism and civility in the practice of law.  She is also serving as the 2nd Vice President of the Alabama Association for Justice.

Christy’s service to her community is reflected by her continued service on the Board of the Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama and her role as President of the Alabama Civil Justice Foundation, which seeks to assist in removing barriers to a civil and just society for Alabama families and children by (1) providing financial assistance to worthwhile charitable organizations serving disadvantaged, disabled, and at risk families and children; and by (2) providing information and instruction beneficial to individual consumers and the larger community.

Not only did she lead the Bar during the many challenges presented during her tenure (a hurricane and COVID-19, just to name a few), but she also tried two significant cases to verdict, resulting in verdicts of $120 million and $150,000.

​

Christy is a member of the First United Methodist Church of Union Springs. She chaired the Bullock County Relay for Life for a number of years. She previously served on the board and coached basketball and baseball at the Union Springs/Bullock County Recreation Center.

Christy and her husband, Van Wadsworth, have three children and live in Union Springs.
