Meet Attorney Paisley Newsome

“My clients are hardworking people facing tough times. I don’t take that trust lightly.”

Paisley brings a diverse legal background to her role as Partner. She began her career as a solo practitioner in Georgia, handling everything from family law to criminal defense. That early, hands-on experience sharpened her instincts in court and taught her how to connect with clients facing real struggles.


After moving to Alabama in 2014, she spent time defending employers and insurance carriers — knowledge she now uses to fight for the injured and protect their rights against those very same systems.
