Andrea Roberts (formerly known as Andrea Cates) grew up in Pascagoula, Mississippi and graduated from Pascagoula High School in 2005. After recovering from hurricane Katrina, Andrea joined the United States Navy in 2008. She served in the Navy as an Aviation Ordnanceman until she was honorably discharged in 2013. While serving on active duty in the United States Navy Andrea was deployed three times during a time of war, for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Although Andrea had a crucial and critical job in the Navy she was able to obtain her bachelors degree in Criminal Justice while in the Navy. Andrea graduated from ECPI with highest honors, and was valedictorian of her program.. Andrea has always had a deep passion to help others so when she made the decision to leave the Navy she knew her next job had to continue her ability to protect and serve. So after many conversations with her mother she decided it was time for her to follow her dream of becoming a lawyer. Andrea began her law school journey at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, and six weeks prior to her first set of law school exams, her mother passed away. Andrea doesn't give up though, she keeps pushing forward. Her very last promise to her mother was that she would work hard and be eligible to transfer to Mississippi College School of Law to complete her second and third year of law school so that she would be able to take care of her full time. Although her mother did not make it, Andrea kept her promise. She transferred to Mississippi College School of Law and she graduated with honors (cum laude). Andrea found the love of her life while in law school, and moved to Alabama after graduation to study for the bar exam.. Andrea sat for the July 2019 bar exam and passed. Her consisitent comment when discussing this, is that her mom is the reason, her mom although in heaven, continues to take care of her. Andrea practiced criminal defense and domestic relations law in Mobile County until April of 2020 when she relocated to Huntsville, Alabama. Andrea practices criminal defense, domestic relations, child custody, and estate planning law in Huntsville, Alabama.. When Andrea is not advocating for her clients she and her husband enjoy taking care of their six dogs, swimming, fishing, hanging out at Leigh Acres and playing board games together. Andrea volunteers at the Huntsville Animal Shelter, and although she has six dogs of her own she fosters dogs from the animal rescue Furget Me Not. Andrea is consistently giving back any way she can to the community.. The same strive, dedication, perservance, hard work, and determination she has shown throughout her Naval career, and her law school journey, she continues in each case. She will fight hard for you and is more than just a lawyer, she is an advocate and more importantly a friend to each and every client she has. If you need help, call Andrea. She returns calls, emails, and texts as soon as they are received. Although her client reviews both on Avvo and Google speak for themselves, Andrea is compassionate, she is always there, and she will always take your calls. When you hire her, your issues become hers, you are able to rest easy because she will carry the worry for you and she always gives her best to achieve the best outcome possible.

Kimberly Willingham

Firm: Holcomb Willingham Law Firm, LLC
333-A East Choccolocco Street , Oxford , Alabama 36203
Practice Areas: Child Custody
For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to be an attorney. When I got to college I changed my path to law enforcement even though I still wanted to be a lawyer. Now, I have been in law enforcement for 25 years. During my time as an officer, I was injured while attempting to arrest several felony suspects. While injured, I believed that I should pursue my passion for law. I went to law school, made excellent grades that got me scholarships to pursue my passion. I graduated, passed the bar and went to work with a law school friend. It's been the best decision in my life.. I had a great practice in Alexandria, Calhoun County, Alabama, with Millwood Law Firm before leaving to work full-time with the State of Alabama as an attorney. Now, I'm opening my office with the same goal of making a difference. Through law I have been able to help parents gain custody of their children, protected innocent people from bad situations, obtained divorces for people who never should have married in the first place and assisted persons in gaining order in their lives through the Courts. I love my job!. If you need assistance in Divorce, Civil problems, Family law, Bankruptcy, Wills, Trusts, Estates, Criminal Law or simple Property matters then our firm is for you. Give us a call at Millwood Law Firm, LLC.  . Ask for Kimberly

Diane Oraif

Firm: DIANE ORAIF
714 Greensboro Avenue , Tuscaloosa , Alabama 35401
Practice Areas: Family, Divorce, Child Custody, Immigration, Domestic Violence, Criminal Defense
Contested and uncontested divorces, offering "Legal Representation With Heart." I truly care about others, and will listen with compassion to your circumstances, and give you the attention you need to the best of my ability.. I have a deep compassion and understanding for those suffering from PTSD And trauma, and how it effects relationships. This is a result of my years working in Asylum/Refugee Law, including training on trauma through our organization, AILA.  Everyone will be treated with respect and compassion, regardless of "what side of the fence" you are on.. I will help you with your parenting time, parenting plans, and special concerns you may have for your family--whether it be concerns as to education (I understand home schooling) or allegations of physical or mental child abuse.. My philosophy is not to escalate the issues to increase attorney fees. I like to help my clients take the shortest path to get to their destination.  I understand how complicated and expensive it can get with Guardian ad Litem, therapeutic mediators, psyscologists, and multiple other professionals that can make your divorce and/or child custoday case nothing but a big headache.  Sometimes this is necessary, but in other instances the better route is to try to have a professional relationship with the other attorney, which is possible while still never losing sight of the fact that my client's interests, if reasonable,  outweigh relationships with other attorneys.. Every case I look at is screened for the potential for alimony (or palimony), even with current trends to do away with alimony or change the way it looks.. I am very understanding and realize we are not all rich, so I rely on the "Honor System" to set up a payment plan.. I am always open to alternative methods of contact with clients. I willingly communicate with Primate Messaging on Facebook, or even with text messages via cell phone, so that I can always be available to help you, especially when situations get stressful turning it into an emergency.. I also have experience with children in Juvenile Court, seeking dependency for Special Immigrant Juvenile Practice. I can take these cases from beginning to end, helping a child achieve legal permanent residency, which is often a more viable alternative than trying to get this status through adoption.
