S. Lynn Marie McKenzie graduated from the University of Alabama School of Law and later earned her degree in canon law from The Catholic University of America.  She has practiced law with the firm since 1986 and is a member of the Executive Committee of the Alabama Trial Lawyers Association.

Sister Lynn, who is a Catholic nun as well as a lawyer, particularly enjoys representing workers who have been hurt on the job with their worker's compensation claims and related cases.  Her previous work as a mediator in worker's compensation cases with the State of Alabama Department of Industrial Relations, Worker's Compensation Division, gives her an edge in representing injured employees.  In addition, she is an advocate for people who have applied for disability benefits through the Social Security Administration.  Having considerable experience especially in these two areas of the law, Sister Lynn is often sought out by clients as well as other lawyers who wish to refer clients to her.

In addition, Sister Lynn has served as an advocate for the rights of hundreds of children in the juvenile court system, as well as representing family members of children who too often find their dear ones caught up in the foster care system.  As a respected lawyer in this area of the law, Sister Lynn is often appointed to serve as a judge in the absence of the Cullman County juvenile court judges.
