About Laura Segers
Laura Segers Fikes built a dual foundation in law and business before she ever set foot in a courtroom. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in English and Studio Art from the University of Alabama in 2005, then completed both a Juris Doctor and an MBA at the University of Alabama School of Law and the Manderson Graduate School of Business in 2009. She later completed the National Criminal Defense College program in 2013.
Her professional life began soon after law school. Records show she worked as a lawyer at Turner & Webb, PC beginning in 2009. Over time she shifted between roles in firms and her own practice. In 2020 she opened The Law Office of Laura Segers Fikes as owner and managing partner. In 2022 she took on a lawyer role at Browne House Law, showing a willingness to move between solo practice and firm settings.
Her memberships reflect the range of work she has pursued. She is a member of the Tuscaloosa County Bar Association and participates in the Alabama Volunteer Lawyers Program. She holds membership in the Alabama Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and is listed as a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. That mix of criminal defense training and matrimonial association suggests a practice that spans family law and criminal matters.
Colleagues describe her approach as pragmatic. She pairs courtroom training from the National Criminal Defense College with business training from her MBA. That combination informs how she evaluates cases and counsel clients. In family law matters—divorce, custody, and related disputes—she draws on the resources of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers network. In criminal matters she relies on procedural training and local bar connections to prepare defenses.
Clients and local peers have known her across a range of proceedings. She has experience litigating in Alabama courts and working through negotiation and settlement when cases allow. She also engages in pro bono and volunteer work through statewide programs that connect attorneys to clients in need.
Her practice history shows an attorney who has moved between institutional settings and independent practice, balancing trial work with client counseling. She remains active in local and state bar circles and continues professional development tied to both family law and criminal defense. She currently practices in Alabama through The Law Office of Laura Segers Fikes, handling family law and criminal defense matters.
