About Norma McCord

Norma McCord Wells earned her J.D. from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University in 2001. She entered the area of law following law school and constructed a tradition that intersects law, fitness care and older-adult problems. Her instructional background gave her a basis in each law and the procedural needs of courtroom practice.

She began her post-law school practice as a lawyer at Hinson & Hinson, P.C., in 2004. A yr later she started her own firm, Norma A. McCord, LLC, handling cases and clients under her own call. Over time her practice preparations advanced and she is now associated with Turning Point Legal, PC. Her profession trail indicates a movement from affiliate roles into private practice and firm membership.

Wells is certified to practice in Alabama and in federal fora. Her admissions include the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama and the U.S. Tax Court. That mix of state and federal credentials helps work that sometimes touches on tax and estate administration questions alongside conventional state-court practice.

Before turning completely to law she certified as a Certified Public Accountant. That certification is currently inactive, however it informs the way she handles monetary elements of client matters. The aggregate of legal and accounting education is often useful in estates, guardianships and transactions that require careful monetary evaluate.

Her professional institutions reflect sustained involvement in elder law, household regulation and collaborative practice. She has been a member of the Alabama Bar Association since 2005, lively throughout the Family Law, Elder Law and Real Estate & Probate Sections. She joined the Marshall County Bar Association in 2005 and served as its vice chairman from 2009 to 2010. National and strong point memberships include ElderCounsel (since 2016) and the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (since 2019). She also belongs to the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals, joining that group in 2011.

She has been president of the Palliative and Supportive Care Alliance at Sheperd s Cove Hospice since 2014, and she or he serves on boards for the Marshall County Guardianship Program and Hospice of Marshall County.
