The team thus now combines over ninety total years of experience to provide novel approaches to divorce, post-divorce, and other family law matters including paternity, adoption, and dependency cases, and family planning documents such as cohabitation and preand post-nuptial agreements.
The firm’s leaders value continuing education and leadership in the field, Sandi Gregory having recently served as Chair of the Alabama State Bar Family Law Section. They further recognize the importance of modern options like parenting coordination and collaborative law as well as

traditional negotiation and mediation, to avoid unnecessary emotional and financial harm wherever possible, while also standing ready and able where necessary to litigate to ensure fair treatment.

The goal in every case is therefore preserving the integrity of a changing family unit and avoiding future court intervention as much as possible.
The team at Gregory Fann Turner: Rebecca Boykins, Amanda Duncan, Brian Turner, Sandi Eubank Gregory, Heather Fann, Julia Simmons and Hayley Williams.
