About

Service to others has been a driving force in my life since I was a small child. My parents taught me that we each have the abililty to help others and by doing so, we can touch their lives for the better. I love helping people with their legal issues. Over the years, I've handled auto accidents, personal injury, probate matters, adoptions, contracts, municipal law, and many other kinds of cases.  I especially like handling difficult cases and those in which more than one area of the law is involved.  If you're uncertain whether I handle the kind of case that you have, please give me a call or email me. Thank you for your consideration!I graduated from the University of Alabama Law School in 1980 and passed the State Bar exam that same year.  After graduation, I was very fortunate to serve as a law clerk writing draft court orders for Judge Richard L. Holmes of the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals.I moved to Anniston in 1981 to work at a firm of great lawyers; the firm later became Dillon, Field, Monk & Stedham. As a young lawyer I also served as part-time Assistant District Attorney for Calhoun and Cleburne Counties.  In 2001, I opened my own law practice, which I ran for seven (7) years.  I  was then elected to serve as an Alabama Circuit Judge in the Family Division for Calhoun & Cleburne Counties. In January, 2015, I completed my service as a judge and opened Stedham Law Firm in Anniston.  Brenda S. Stedham

Brenda Stedham represented me with several issues involving my husband's estate after his death. She was very professional yet understanding and helpful during a very difficult time for me. I highly recommend her and will use her again for any other attorney needs.

Brenda Stedham is an excellent attorney. She has represented me with the utmost professionalism. She has always been readily available to speak with me. She has filed all paperwork and motions in a very timely manner. Her many years of experience that she draws upon is invaluable. I admire and respect her. She is a first class attorney.

Brenda helped me with the legalities on starting my own business in 2003. She was efficient and timely. She continues to assist me with any legal needs that arise. Highly recommend!

Brenda litigated 2 Alabama lawsuits on behalf of my company. One involved a corporate violation of a non-compete agreement and the other concerned improprieties in a municipal contract bid. Brenda displayed excellent judgement in selecting local attorneys to assist in each case. She remained calm and precise in presenting evidence and examining witnesses in spite of the surly attitude displayed by opposing attorneys. She won damages for me in the first case and the second, in the words of opposing counsel "...she won eleven pages of the judgement but lost the last page..." because the defendant went back and amended the contract to comply with the bid specifications.

I have worked with Brenda Stedham for several years through my job as a DHR employee. She is very professional, thorough and is one of the best lawyers I have had the priviledge of working with.

We all know we need to create a will, power of attorney, and appoint a health proxy. But, we put it off because it is not any fun and frankly, can be a little depressing. Brenda made this experience much more pleasant and even fun at times. She is extremely knowledgeable, very helpful and understanding. She does not rush the process and explains all of the decisions you must make until you are completely satisfied. My husband and I highly recommend Brenda (and her sweet assistant, Linda) for your legal representative. We will definitely go back to Brenda if a need arises.
