It has been my pleasure to work with Lara McCauley Alvis for many years beginning when she was a prosecutor in The Shelby County District Attorney’s office and afterwards for many years in private practice. I have always found Mrs. Alvis to be very prepared and knowledgeable on the issues in the matters before the court. She is by far the most qualified, and I can without reservation recommend that she be elected to replace me when I retire on March 1, 2015.

I have known Lara since she was a child. I have watched her evolve into caring, compassionate, conscientious individual who will bring a vast amount of life experience to the bench. Her years as a prosecutor, a defense lawyer and a general practitioner give her invaluable insight to both sides of any case and a balanced approach to resolving issues that the parties cannot resolve themselves. I support her to replace Judge Reeves without without reservation.

I have confidence that Lara Alvis will serve our community well, and I proudly lend my support to her for Circuit Judge. I have worked alongside Lara for more than a decade in both criminal and family court proceedings, and recognize her unwavering commitment to our judicial process.

RedWave Technology Group, LLC is proud to endorse Lara McCauley Alvis for Judge, as we believe she would be the best candidate for the job. She has lived her life with regard to serving others and doing what is right. She has been involved in many organizations and charitable events to help others, always before helping herself. Take a look at Lara’s credentials and see for yourself why we think she would make an amazing judge for Shelby County. On March 1st 2016, please vote and help make the right decision, VOTE ALVIS FOR JUDGE! We stand behind her 100%!

I have known Lara Alvis since we were in college at the University of Alabama for undergraduate studies then during Law School at U of A. We have remained close friends personally and professionally since that time. She has always been an over achiever and worked tirelessly at everything she has achieved in her life. We studied in study groups together and I know her intellect is one that would greatly benefit the bench in Columbiana. She is compassionate and caring but will do what is the right thing and not the politically correct thing in each and every case. I highly recommend her as the next Circuit Judge in Shelby County.

Doug Marshall endorses Lara Alvis. He is Married to Christy Scott, native of Hoover with 3 adult children. He is widely respected throughout Alabama in both the business community and disability community. His Business career spanned EY, Energen, and Alagasco where he was VP/Controller and directly over 1/3 of Operations. His Non-profit background includes CFO of UCP of Greater Birmingham and CFO of Alabama Family Trust. I first met Lara when I was VP/Controller of Alagasco more then 7 years ago. I have the highest respect for her as a person of solid integrity with a tremendous legal mind. I trust her to make sound and fair decisions and fully endorse her for Shelby County Circuit Judge. I am urging my friends in Shelby County to vote on Tuesday, April 12th and to vote Lara McCauley Alvis as our next Circuit Judge.

I have watched Lara grow up and seen the kind of person she has become. I see the love, time and commitment she shows to her family and friends, yet she also efficiently does her job with time somehow to spare for many charitable and public service organizations. She has worked both the prosecution and defense sides of the law as well as child/domestic cases... and civil law. She has extensive experience and shows fair and impartial judgment. In this campaign, she has acted with integrity and not stooped to dirty campaign practices to win an election, but is relying on her work experience and knowledge. Who wouldn't want to go before a fair judge who has seen both sides of the law and respects the process? Judges and law enforcement support her, including Sheriff John Samaniego and retiring Judge Dan Reeves. She certainly has my endorsement and vote as the most qualified by far and a candidate that cares, has integrity, and works hard. What more could you want?

Lara has demonstrated unquestionable dedication and leadership in Shelby County. I personally know the difference she made in my child's life through her commitment to see young adults succeed in life. Thank you Lara!

"Without question Lara is the most qualified and deserving of the title of Circuit Judge for Shelby County. She has my full support and vote and I encourage my friends, family and all citizens of Shelby County to support and vote for her March 1! A judge must be knowledgeable, fair, understanding and have unquestionable integrity. Having worked in the Shelby County court system thirty three plus years, I cannot emphasize the importance of electing someone with these qualities. I have known Lara Alvis for almost twenty years. First as an assistant district attorney when she prosecuted juvenile cases. Can you imagine how difficult this job is to hold each and every child before the court accountable but at the same time performing the job with compassion? Second as a defense attorney where she expected and demanded honesty in each of her clients. Lastly as a volunteer to the Juvenile Court where she has and continues to donate countless number of hours meeting with and speaking to children involved with the court.
