About Connie Ray Stockham
Connie Ray Stockham is the managing partner of Stockham, Cooper & Potts, P. C. of which she was a founding member. Upon her entry to the practice of law in the late 1970’s, Connie learned she thrived on the challenging and rapidly evolving torts of bad faith, fraud and products liability in her home state. Fresh out of completing a federal clerkship with U. S. District Judge James Hancock, Connie was entrusted with handling the appeal of one of the first bad faith verdicts in the State of Alabama, which was also the largest verdict in the rural county where it had been rendered. With its reversal, Connie embarked on what has been a career of handling not only matters from the lower court filing but also being the lawyer who is called on an early Saturday morning after a client receives a bad verdict. On the heels of the early bad faith reversal, Connie became involved in the 11th Circuit landmark trigger of coverage litigation, Commercial Union v Sepco. Along the way, she was able to dispense with the bad faith claim in Sepco on summary judgment. Not one to refuse a challenge, Connie represented one of the firm’s long standing insurance clients in a politically charged invasion of privacy case that she took from a $15 million verdict to a $5 million remittitur to a reversal to zero on appeal.
Having founded and successfully led a trial and appellate firm for almost twenty years, Connie thought it was time to take a backseat in the active practice of law and focus more on her role as an adjunct professor in the Honors College at The University of Alabama at Birmingham. She and her clients quickly realized that she was not ready for such a move. Therefore, she recruited a group of seasoned trial lawyers and formed a new law firm that continues to provide the level of excellence and service that her clients have come to expect over the years.
Now having practiced law for more than thirty-nine years, Connie has served as lead attorney in a broad range of complex litigated matters, ranging from bad faith to invasion of privacy, insurance coverage and contractual disputes, reinsurance, construction matters, medical, nursing home and pharmaceutical malpractice products liability, mass tort and environmental actions, personal injury and death cases of many types. Having handled over forty appellate cases, she is called on regularly to take on cases after an adverse judgment to handle appeal and retrial. As one of the Best Lawyers in America, Connie realizes that years of experience now inform the counsel her clients seek and the advocacy she vigorously practices.
