As a divorced mother of two, I'm passionate about getting others through their family issues in the most positive and economically advantageous way possible.  There is more than one way to divorce and the process is not one size fits all. In all family matters, lawyers need to consider the client's emotions, the personalities of the parties, the needs of the children and the assets involved in determining how to proceed.  Every case is unique, and the cost involved needs to be justified by the potential outcome. Going through my own divorce gave me a unique perspective that allows me to be compassionate and truly understand the need to fight for my clients who can't fight for themselves. I believe that this compassion and understanding is just as important as my 20 years of legal experience. I'm grateful to be in a profession where I can connect with people in such a meaningful way and help them in their time of need.

Hello! I am an attorney in Alabama and have been practicing since September 2001. I primarily practice in the areas of transportation law, personal injury defense, and employment law. I firmly believe in preventive legal services, aimed at helping my clients avoid costly litigation and administrative proceedings, and early resolution of claims where possible. When litigation or administrative proceedings come, though, I also believe in passionately and zealously advocating for my clients while at the same time bearing in mind the client's overall business and litigation management objectives.. At home, I am married to my first and only true love, Dana. We have been married since 2002.  The Lord has blessed us with four absolutely wonderful children. They truly are the best of each of us. I am very much a work in progress, personally and professionally, but I try to live my life and conduct my work in a way that honors and glorifies my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Admittedly, I fall flat a lot of the time, but some of the principles that my family and I try to live by are found in Deuteronomy 6:5; Joshua 24:14-15; Isaiah 40:27-31; Jeremiah 29:11; Matthew 6:33; Matthew 7:12; Matthew 22:36-40; Luke 6:31; and Romans 8:28; among others.. If I may be of assistance to you or your company, I welcome the opportunity to speak with you.  May God bless you, your family, and your company! Numbers 6:24-26.

Cory has been representing people injured on the job and in motor vehicle accidents for his entire legal career. His ability to get good results for his clients is evidenced by the fact that most of his cases are referred to him by former satisfied clients and other attorneys who trust their clients to him.Some of Cory’s results include being part of the trial team that achieved a record-setting jury verdict of $21,000,000 in a personal injury case. He has also had great success in workers’ compensation cases, such as obtaining a judgement valued at over $600,000 for an injured nurse. In that case, Cory recommended that the nurse reject an offer of $100,000 on the morning of the trial. Not only was a much larger judgment obtained, the nurse has now received far more compensation than was offered and she is entitled to lifetime medical benefits for her injuries. Sometimes cases can be settled, but other times a trial is needed; Cory helps protects the rights of his clients and helps them make informed decisions when it comes to resolving their claims.Other attorneys and judges provided their opinions about Cory to Martindale-Hubbell and, as a result, he received the highest possible peer review rating of Preeminent for ethical standards and legal ability. Cory has also been listed in the annual Super Lawyers® publication not only in Alabama, but in the Mid-South region, which includes four states. The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100 Trial Lawyers is a select list in which Cory has also been included for his professional ability.Cory and his wife Alyssa live in Dothan and stay busy raising their three children: Holley, Mary Hannah and Carson. The Driggers attend Westgate Church of Christ. Cory enjoys coaching youth sports, hunting and fishing.

When I graduated from law school, I was honored to be chosen as a judicial law clerk for Judge James P. Smith.  In Judge Smith's court, I had a front row seat to many of the best trial lawyers in North Alabama.  I watched those great lawyers fight hard for their clients.  It didn't take long for me to decide I wanted to be a lawyer who fights hard for my client, and who doesn't back down from a trial.  My mentor, Bud Watson, gave me my opportunity once my one-year judicial clerkship ended.  Since then, I have devoted my law practice to cases involving severe and debilitating personal injuries, substantial damages, and wrongful death.  For 15 years, I have successfully argued cases to verdict in many Alabama counties, and Federal courts.
