Lee Ozmint

Welcome

Welcome to my law practice web page. In April 2024, I walked away from a successful 23-year run as a high school football coach and English teacher. I always considered myself a culture coach, focused on the fundamentals before schemes, and the players before plays. I always prided myself in focusing on the details that others may overlook.

I was blessed to invest myself in a great group of assistant coaches and left each program in better condition than I found it. It was a great privilege to teach those young men, and their families, schools, and communities, the discipline, toughness, hard work, and sacrifice necessary to overcome a culture of failure, complacency, and mediocrity. It was an honor to see them accomplish what they never thought possible: playing for, and winning, championships. It was an even greater honor to see them become young men of toughness, resilience, and character.

Here is what you need to know about me

For 23 years, I loved coaching and teaching my kids. You should ask any former player, parent, or assistant coach about my love for my players and respect for and from our opponents. My passion for the game and for those around me was a gift from God. It was the same drive and passion that made me an All-SEC player at Alabama.

A new chapter

I have retired from coaching, but I’m still a coach. And my drive, compassion, and attention to detail will continue to serve me well in the profession of law. In a way, my future has been built by my past: for many years before I stepped onto the sidelines, I practiced law in Tuscaloosa and Gadsden with great lawyers.

As I return to practicing law, I will bring with me the same passion and God-given gifts and talents that helped me to be a good coach, a community leader, husband, and father. Empathy. An honest and plain-spoken style. A gritty work ethic. But this time, I will bring the unique wisdom and experience of living and working for decades as a layman, and of knowing, firsthand, how our brilliant but imperfect legal system can feel both intimidating and out of reach to the common man or woman.

In the end, God has given me an opportunity to pen another chapter in my story, and part of that story will be Ozmint Legal, LLC.
