Tiffany has lived in Memphis since 2014 by way of Huntsville, Alabama; Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Durham, North Carolina, Los Angeles, California; and the Boston, Massachusetts metropolitan area. The immersive experiences with various people in various regions of the country has given Tiffany a true compassion for people from all walks of life.
Tiffany first developed an interest in personal injury law as a young child. She was the plaintiff in a medical malpractice claim against a pharmacy that had filled one of her prescriptions with the incorrect medication, causing serious injuries which resulted in her hospitalization. Although that experience marked her first spark of interest in advocacy for the injured and wronged, once Tiffany learned that her paternal grandfather, a Tuskegee airman bombardier during WWII, had freedom rode throughout the South and been arrested for protesting segregated military officers’ clubs during his time in the service, she knew fighting for justice was in her future.
Tiffany earned her Bachelor of Arts with High Distinction from Duke University, graduating as a Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellow, the University Editor of the student-run newspaper, and a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. She then earned a fellowship to the University of Alabama, where she graduated with a master’s degree in English Literature, and then earned her Juris Doctor degree from the University of Alabama School of Law.
At Cory Watson Attorneys, Tiffany litigates car, motorcycle, pedestrian, and truck wreck cases; premises liability cases; third-party on-the-job injury cases; police brutality and misconduct civil rights cases; and mass tort cases.
Tiffany loves animals and enjoys spending time with her family. She also enjoys giving back to local and national charities, including those dedicated to supporting natural disaster rescue, leukemia research, the elderly, impoverished, and voter enfranchisement efforts. Tiffany is a board member for the Tennessee Trial Lawyers Association, and she is also a member of the Tennessee Bar Association, Memphis Bar Association, Southern Trial Lawyers Association, and the Ben F. Jones Chapter of the National Bar Association.
Tiffany is licensed to practice in Tennessee, Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, and North Carolina, and she is admitted to practice in the U.S. District Courts for the Western District of Tennessee, Eastern District of Tennessee, Northern District of Alabama, and Eastern District of North Carolina. Tiffany was named the 2023 Outstanding New Trial Lawyer of the Year by the Tennessee Trial Lawyers Association.
