During law school, Trial Attorney Chris Odom clerked with a top law firm in New Orleans specializing in both insurance defense and Maritime & Admiralty accident trials primarily against major oil companies in the Federal and State Trial Courts of Louisiana. He also clerked with a law firm in Florida specializing in tractor trailer and motor vehicle accident trials primarily against large insurance companies and corporations in the Federal and State Trial Courts of Florida.
After graduating from law school, he declined job offers at two insurance defense law firms, knowing that those were not the kind of cases or clients that he wanted to represent, nor the environments he wanted to work in. Instead, Chris Odom formed his own law practice with one of his close friends, Everett Pepper, in 2012 where he could take the kind of cases he wanted and handle them his own way.
Odom was lead counsel on his first jury trial within months of beginning his own practice. He immediately grabbed the attention of various peer recognition institutions and gained very much recognition for his courtroom successes by The National Top 100 Trial Lawyers, The National Top 40 under 40 Trial Lawyers, The National Association of Distinguished Counsel, The American Institute of Personal Injury Lawyers Top 10 Best Attorneys for Alabama, The American Society of Legal Advocates Top 40 Litigation Under 40, and more among many others.
