Barnes Heyward is a natural – a personal injury trial lawyer with a remarkable record of securing seven-figure results for personal injury victims, both in and out of the courtroom. His confidence inside the courtroom stems from a deep conviction that his clients’ stories deserve to be heard, particularly when facing well-funded insurance companies determined to keep their clients’ negligence hidden. After graduating from Cumberland School of Law, Barnes Heyward began his career representing injured clients under the tutelage of the Honorable S.A. Watson, Jr., a renowned trial lawyer whose influence shaped Barnes’ dedication to meticulous trial preparation. This unwavering commitment has consistently translated into exceptional outcomes for clients whether at the negotiation table or before a jury. In 2025, Barnes joined Siniard Law and partners Tommy and Bart Siniard, whose track record and commitment to serving North Alabama align perfectly with Barnes’ own values. The lawyers at Siniard Law believe in client-focused practice where clients’ needs are heard and met, and Barnes wouldn’t have it any other way.

Tommy Siniard is a Huntsville personal injury lawyer with more than forty years of experience. For more than thirty years, he has practiced exclusively personal injury law, representing people who have been in car accidents, trucking accidents, slip and fall accidents, and representing those who have suffered complications from medical negligence. Originally from Gadsden, Alabama, Tommy grew up in a blue-collar family. His father worked 43 years at the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. tire plant and missed only thirteen days of work during that time period. When Tommy went to law school, he made a promise to his father that he would always represent working people instead of companies and corporations. Tommy has held true to that promise his entire career. He only represents people in their fight against insurance companies for fair compensation. Tommy attended the University of Alabama School of Law, graduating in 1980. He moved to Huntsville following law school and began practicing law with esteemed trial attorney Harvey Morris. In 1991, Tommy started a solo personal injury law office that eventually grew to be the largest personal injury firm in Huntsville. In 2022, Tommy and his son Bart started their own law firm, Siniard Law, LLC.

I could tell you about a $1 million medical malpractice settlement, the resolution of a car wreck for $200,000, or throw a lot of different case resolutions at you. However, if you’re reading this, you’re probably more interested in who I am and how I operate. I come from a family with a long history of helping people who cannot help themselves or who need someone to stand in their corner. My greatest concern for my injured clients and their families is that they have all the information needed to understand their case. The complexities of the law leave several people without an ability to recover from their injuries.
