Prince Glover Hayes Partner Josh Hayes Named One of Alabama’s 35 Faces of Pro Bono

We’re proud to share some news about our partner, Josh Hayes. The Alabama State Bar’s Volunteer Lawyers Program has named him one of its 35 Faces of Pro Bono. The program is celebrating its 35th anniversary, and the list honors attorneys who have given their time to people who can’t afford a lawyer.

Giving his time to people who need a lawyer

Josh has volunteered with the Alabama State Bar Volunteer Lawyers Program for years. He regularly takes part in the Tuscaloosa Counsel and Advice Clinic, where he gives free legal guidance to low-income people dealing with civil legal problems. He has also represented clients at no charge in Protection from Abuse proceedings and in other cases involving people in crisis.

When you’re facing a serious legal problem and can’t afford help, being able to sit down with a lawyer who will listen, answer your questions, and explain your options matters. Josh makes time for that on top of a full caseload as a trial attorney here at Prince Glover Hayes.

Serving Alabama beyond the courtroom

Pro bono work is only part of how Josh serves. He has been appointed Deputy Attorney General twice, and in that role he has helped lead Alabama’s litigation over the opioid crisis and its consumer protection claims against TikTok. He has also pursued cases involving sex trafficking and child exploitation.

Away from the courtroom, Josh has served as Co-Chair of the Justice for All Task Force. He also holds leadership roles with the Alabama State Bar, the Alabama Law Foundation, and Legal Services Alabama.

Josh believes that practicing law comes with a responsibility to serve people who might otherwise have nowhere to turn. We see that in the way he works, and we’re glad to see the Volunteer Lawyers Program recognize it.

Congratulations, Josh. We’re proud to work alongside you.
