Backed by an extensive education and years of experience, founder Barbara H. Agricola values each and every client and offers her clients a level of service and attention that is rarely experienced in the industry. Understanding not only Alabama and Georgia law but its personal implications, Barbara provides long-term advocacy and legal guidance that is designed to protect the interests, goals, and objectives of each client. With open and consistent communication being held as key to building a successful client/attorney relationship, Barbara focuses her every effort at remaining personally involved and available to her clients at all times.
Born and raised in Montgomery, Barbara is a proud graduate of the nationally-ranked college preparatory school, LAMP High School.

Barbara soon stood out among her peers, and graduated with Departmental Honors in Political Science as well as University honors. In just three years, Barbara graduated magna cum laude and earned a major in Political Science with a double minor, one in Philosophy and Law, and the other in Criminal Justice.
Garnering further accolades while earning her law degree at the University of Alabama School of Law, a top ranked law school, Barbara received a number of awards and accolades. After several years in practice, offering residents of Alabama and Georgia comprehensive legal services in a variety of areas, Barbara formed Agricola Law so that she can give her clients the personalized attention that is needed when going through legal situations.
