Biography
J.D., University of Alabama School of Law, 1997
B.S., Auburn University, 1994
Growing up in the north Alabama community of Hamilton, Christy Crow's
earliest memory in life 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. "Daddy had never ridden on a
motorcycle in his life until that day. He got on the motorcycle with one
of his co-workers and they made it less than a mile down the road and
were stopped at a traffic light. A semi-truck driver left his glasses at
home that day and had pulled up behind them. He never saw them and ran
over them. My father flew 60 feet away from the original site and the
bone was sticking through his skin after the wreck. My family was lucky-
my father lived, even though he lives with the pain from that accident
every day of his life. His friend didn't survive from the accident."
Christy is on the board and coaches basketball and baseball at the Union
Springs/Bullock County Recreation Center, is a member of the First
United Methodist Church of Union Springs, where Christy serves on the
children's and youth council, is the Chairperson of the Bullock County
Relay for Life, and serves on the Bullock County Chunnenuggee Fair
committee. Christy and her husband, Van Wadsworth, have three children
and live in Union Springs.
Experience
Seeing the effects that the gross negligence has on the family of a
victim inspired Christy to dedicate her life to helping others. Christy
joined the firm in 1997. Since then Christy has become known throughout
the State as a fierce lawyer in the Courtroom and in arbitral settings.
"When I began law school, arbitration was something you learned about
but no one had ever done. By the time I was in practice for a year, I
had already represented multiple consumers in arbitration." With her
early experience in arbitration, Christy has represented consumers with
problems with 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 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. "I know I can make a difference and
help the victims and their families. Nothing ever takes the injury and
pain away, but the compensation makes it easier for the family and the
victim work through the problems associated with a catastrophic injury."
