Mobile trial lawyer Lucy Tufts was elected president of the Alabama Association for Justice during the organization’s annual convention in Destin, Florida.
Tufts, a partner at Cunningham Bounds in Mobile, takes over from outgoing president Clint Mountain of Tuscaloosa. The Alabama Association for Justice, formerly the Alabama Trial Lawyers Association, is the statewide trade and lobbying organization for plaintiffs’ attorneys.
“I am deeply honored to serve as President of the Alabama Association for Justice,” Tufts said. “Our members are dedicated to protecting the constitutional rights of all Alabamians and ensuring that our civil justice system remains accessible, fair, and accountable. I look forward to working alongside our members as we continue advancing ALAJ’s mission and preparing for the opportunities and challenges ahead.”
Tufts graduated magna cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in the top five percent of her class. Her practice focuses on business litigation, complex litigation, product liability, industrial accidents, and wrongful death.
According to the group, she has secured more than $300 million in verdicts, judgments, and settlements on behalf of her clients over the last decade and is licensed to practice in Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi.
“Lucy Tufts embodies the very best of the legal profession,” said ALAJ CEO Ginger Avery. “She is a respected trial lawyer, a thoughtful leader, and a tireless advocate for her clients and community.”
