Andrew “Andy” Jones is a man of action—inspired by those who take bold strides to help others. His favorite quote, “Do what you can, where you are, with what you have,” comes from the invigorating words of President Teddy Roosevelt, and it reflects the values that Andy holds dear in his personal and professional life. From an early age, Andy was interested in becoming a lawyer to make a positive impact on others.
Since joining Cory Watson Attorneys as a summer law clerk in 2011, Andy quickly distinguished himself among his colleagues and clients. Within three years of becoming an attorney, he was tapped as lead attorney of the firm’s Asbestos Practice where he has helped obtain over $50 million in settlements for clients. Andy current work focuses on cases involving defective pharmaceutical products and medical devices, as well as injuries from toxic environmental contamination. Andy has received multiple awards for his work over the years, including being named to Super Lawyers: Rising Stars, Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch, and America’s Top 100 Attorneys.
In the community, Andy serves on the Board of Directors for the National CMV Foundation, a national non-profit focused on preventing congenital CMV infections, which are the leading viral cause of birth defects and developmental disabilities. Andy is also on the Junior Board of M-POWER Ministries, a local organization helping provide a path out of poverty through its education and health centers. He is also a member of the Alabama and Tennessee State Bar Associations, the Birmingham Bar Association, the American Association for Justice, and the Alabama Association for Justice.
Among his accomplishments and awards, Jones has been a voice of influence as the Associate Editor for the Cumberland Law Review and as a contributing writer for the American Association for Justice’s Newsletter.
Before becoming an attorney at Cory Watson, Andy has always been a true Alabama native. He grew up in Alabaster, graduated from Shades Mountain Christian School in Bluff Park, attended The University of Alabama, earned his law degree at the Cumberland School of Law, and has never lived outside of North or Central Alabama. When he’s not in court or in the office, Andy and his family can be found outdoors enjoying the natural beauty of his home state. His favorite pastimes include hiking and rock climbing.
