At Jinks Crow, P.C., success is about more than the results achieved for clients. It is about the people behind the work and the trust families place in the firm during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Managing Attorney Christy Crow celebrates the women of Jinks Crow for helping build a respected law firm grounded in strength, preparation and compassion. From attorneys and advocates to paralegals, legal assistants and administrative professionals, these women bring talent, leadership and a commitment to making a difference every day.
“Big Enough to Fight, Small Enough to Care.”
WHAT IS AN ACCOMPLISHMENT FROM THE WOMEN IN YOUR BUSINESS THAT YOU BELIEVE SHOULD BE CELEBRATED?
One of the accomplishments I am most proud of is the way the women of our firm have helped build and grow Jinks Crow into a respected law firm while never losing sight of why we do this work. The women on our team have played an essential role in earning that trust, strengthening our firm, mentoring others and demonstrating that compassion and excellence can and should go hand in hand.
HOW DO THE WOMEN ON YOUR TEAM HELP BRING THE COMPANY’S MISSION TO LIFE?
Jinks Crow is “Big Enough to Fight, Small Enough to Care.” We live that every day by standing up for people and families who have been seriously injured or have lost someone they love, and giving them the strongest possible voice when they are facing powerful interests. The women on our team listen to our clients, solve difficult problems, prepare cases, advocate in courtrooms and negotiations, manage countless details behind the scenes and make sure the people we represent know they matter.
HOW DO THE WOMEN ON YOUR TEAM SUPPORT, ENCOURAGE OR LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER?
There is a real culture of collaboration within our firm. Our women share knowledge, step in when someone needs help and learn from one another across different roles and levels of experience. We recognize that for there to be success in a case or a law firm, it takes the right team.
WHAT HAVE THE WOMEN ON YOUR TEAM TAUGHT YOU?
They have reinforced that leadership is not about having a title. Leadership can mean taking ownership of a problem, helping a colleague, staying calm under pressure, telling someone what they need to hear rather than what is easiest to say, or simply doing excellent work consistently when no one is watching. They have also demonstrated that collaboration does not diminish individual achievement, it strengthens it.
WHAT DO YOU HOPE THE NEXT GENERATION OF WOMEN IN BUSINESS SEES WHEN THEY LOOK AT YOUR TEAM?
I hope they see possibility. I hope they see women who are excellent at what they do, who take on significant responsibility, who lead and who have built meaningful careers while remaining true to who they are as mothers, wives, sisters, daughters and friends. Most importantly, I hope they see that there is room for them at the table and that there are women at the table ready to pull up a chair for them.
