Overview

Barbi Agricola, founder of Agricola Law, concentrates her practice in the areas of plaintiff's personal injury law, family law and criminal defense. Barbi was born and raised in Montgomery, where she attended LAMP High School, a nationally-ranked college preparatory school. She completed her undergraduate work at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, where she was accepted into the school's prestigious University Honors Program, which only accepts fifty students a year. Barbi graduated magna cum laude with University and Departmental honors, earning a major in Political Science and a double minor in Criminal Justice and Philosophy and Law, all within the span of three years.

After College at UAB, Barbi attended law school at the University of Alabama School of Law in Tuscaloosa, where she received numerous awards for her trial advocacy skills, leadership skills and involvement in the law school. She was a member of the Order of the Barristers, the Bench & Bar legal honor society, and Law School Ambassadors, among others. Barbi also served as the Managing Editor of the Law & Psychology Review, where she also had a legal article published. As part of the school's trial advocacy and moot court teams, she won first place at the National Trial Advocacy Competition in one year and in another year advanced to the quarter-final rounds in moot court competition.

After law school, Barbi completed several federal clerkships, including clerking for the Honorable William M. Acker, Jr. of the Northern District of Alabama, the Honorable Joel F. Dubina, then Chief Judge of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and the Honorable W. Keith Watkins, Chief Judge of the Middle District of Alabama. These experiences enable Barbara to maintain a vibrant federal court practice with a high level of knowledge and skill.

I highly reccomend Barbi and her staff. They are very professional in all that they do. Barbi’s knowledge and experience in family law is what makes the difference. She knows what you are going through and can give you good advice and is always willing to talk you through what needs to be done. She is kind and patient and knows that divorce is an extremely emotional thing to go through. Her advice is always good.

Ms. Agricola was a godsend to me and my family. I was referred to her by a friend and it was the best thing that could've happened. My case was a tough one, but Ms. Agricola worked hard for me. She went over and beyond to bring light to the truth in my case. Even though my case spanned over a couple years, I never felt like Ms. Agricola wasn't there for me. She was always available to answer any questions that I had. In the end everything worked out for the best, and it's all because of her! She really cares about her clients and is there for you each step of the way.

Barbi has been helping me through a very difficult divorce. She is reliable and trustworthy and really fights for her clients. My main goal is to protect my children and Barbi has done just that. Without Barbi, I do not think I would have had such a good outcome in my case. Thank you!

I cannot say enough great things about Barbie. She helped me and my family with an awful custody battle and won after two other lawyers could not get the job done. She was always available to us when we needed her. You can tell she really cares about her clients for sure! She is awesome. If my family ever needs a lawyer for anything, we are calling Barbie.
