Will Sutton, a lawyer who currently works in an Of Counsel capacity in our Toxic Torts Section, graduated from Auburn University in 2007 with a B.A. in Political Science. Will obtained his Juris Doctor Degree at Thomas Goode Jones School of Law in 2010. While attending law school, Will was a member of the American Association for Justice. He also studied international criminal law abroad in the Netherlands. Will is the son of the late Jean Sutton and Goodloe Sutton, from Marengo County. Goodloe is the editor and publisher of The Democratic Reporter in Linden, Ala. He is a great newspaper man and is extremely well-respected by his peers.

Will began working as a law clerk for our firm in the Consumer Fraud Section while he was in law school. During that time, he assisted lawyers with Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) litigation. He also worked in various other civil fraud cases in the Toxic Torts Section. In October 2010, after passing the Alabama Bar Examination, Will began work as a lawyer in our firm’s BP Litigation.

Will is a hard worker and he is doing a very good job in the BP litigation. Because of his involvement in this litigation, Will realizes the true importance of our firm’s work for clients who have been damaged by the oil spill. We are fortunate to have Will with the firm.
