STEVE WINDOM

FOUNDER AND PRINCIPAL

​

Steve Windom was Alabama’s first Republican Lieutenant Governor since Reconstruction, winning election when the candidate at the top of his ticket was losing by 16 points. This was after nine years in the Senate – primarily in the 1990s – where he guided legislation to reform the state’s consumer finance code and served as the point person on tort reform issues.

 

As Lieutenant Governor, he finished the job on tort reform and championed a law that would provide reconstructive surgeries for women with breast cancer on Medicaid. Upon leaving office, he formed his own lobbying operation, Steve Windom, LLC, which now operates as Windom, Galliher and Associates.

 

The facts are impressive enough, but the things below the first layer are what make him Steve Windom. Ultimately, Steve is a grinder. For him, there’s always one more legislator’s office to stop by, one more phone call to make, just one more stone to turn over. If Steve leaves the State House before the legislative work is done for the day, then clearly a stretcher must have been involved. The reality is that he’s never left before adjournment because he knows while strategy is imperative, tactical opportunities to gain an advantage for your client only reveal themselves when you are on the scene until the final horn.

 

Steve, who holds undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Alabama, is married to Judge Mary Becker Windom, the presiding judge of the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals. He is the father to two sons, Robert and Thomas (both attorneys like their father – one in California, one in DC), but more importantly he is grandfather to Lily, Tyler, Claire and Colleen. He loves his dogs, vintage automobiles and boats with the same passion he has in working for his clients.
