Meet Leah
Leah is very active within her community, giving back whenever she can. She believes in the power of service. This belief helps drive the work she does for Mezrano Alabama Injury Lawyers, working with clients who deserve justice for the injuries and harm they have sustained.
When she is not in the office, you can find Leah hiking around Birmingham, hanging out with Lola at the dog park, or spending time with her husband, Alex. She especially enjoys watching football in the fall, as her parents both graduated from the University of Alabama and her brother graduated from Auburn University, so they cover the SEC between the four of them. Leah also enjoys spending time with her family in Mobile and friends in New Orleans.
