Leigh O'Dell returned to the firm in May of 2005 to work in our Mass Torts section. Though Leigh was a lawyer with the firm from 1994 through 1998, she left in 1998 to take a position with Focus on the Family. Under the leadership of Dr. James C. Dobson, Leigh served Focus on the Family as Director of Women's Ministries; and in that capacity, she was responsible for Renewing the Heart, a nation-wide series of one-day arena events designed to encourage and refresh women through worship and the Word of God.

Leigh came back to the firm for a short time in 2000, before joining AnGeL Ministries, the ministry of Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of Dr. Billy Graham. As Director of Events, Leigh was responsible for the development and execution of Just Give Me Jesus, a series of free, two-day revivals. Since the year 2000, twenty-three revivals have taken place throughout the United States and the world, including South Korea, Paraguay, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom. Just Give Me Jesus is devoted to the exaltation of Jesus Christ and is designed to draw God's people into a fresh encounter with Jesus Christ through the preaching of God's Word, prayer and worship.

Leigh served as a law clerk for the Honorable Ira DeMent, United States District Judge for the Middle District of Alabama from 1993-1994. While at the University of Alabama School of Law, Leigh served as Managing Editor of the Alabama Law Review.

Leigh is originally from Prattville, Alabama. The daughter of the late Billy O'Dell and Beverly O'Dell Malone, Leigh enjoys spending time with her large family as well as playing tennis, cycling and participating in other sporting activities.
