The Growth of Gregory Fann Turner
Founding partners and Top Women Attorneys Sandi Gregory and Heather Fann formed Gregory Fann Turner in 2021, utilizing extensive experience both personally and professionally with family law matters to manifest a very intentional vision of providing healthy long-term solutions for families in transition.
Sharing that vision and bringing a robust mediation practice to the firm, Brian Turner joined in 2023, and the firm now additionally provides services via associates Amanda Duncan, Rebecca Boykins, Julia Simmons, and Hayley Williams. 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 firm values diversity and advocates for parents, spouses, grandparents, and children regardless of age, race, gender, or gender identity, and welcomes unprecedented local issues related to LGBTQ+ parentage and other emerging issues. Heather Fann has been an active member of the Family Law Institute of the national LGBTQ+ Bar since being invited as a result of her work on a historic U.S. Supreme Court victory for samesex parental rights in 2016.
Gregory Fann Turner’s lawyers well know that the peace of mind and more secure future clients acquire in a maturely handled family law matter—and the expense, delay and distress they avoid—is the same peace and security they want for their children as they grow into adults. 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.
