Partner

Brief Biography

Calle Mendenhall is Managing Partner at Farris Riley Injury Law, where she leads the firm’s mass torts department, focusing on pharmaceutical and medical device litigation on a national scale. She has served on Plaintiff Leadership Committees in the Cordis IVC Filter litigation in California and the Bard IVC Filter multidistrict litigation, and has been part of trial teams that secured verdicts totaling more than $90 million in the transvaginal mesh (TVM) litigation.

Calle has always been drawn to complicated problems — she enjoys piecing together seemingly unrelated information to understand the full shape of a case before deciding how to move it forward. That instinct shapes how she negotiates a resolution and how she prepares a case for trial, and it shapes how she listens: good advocacy, she believes, starts with understanding not just what happened to a client, but how their life has changed as a result — and then translating complicated legal and factual issues into something clear, while giving that client a strong advocate throughout the process.

Calle is licensed to practice in Alabama and in all federal district courts within the state. She earned her B.A. from the University of Alabama and her J.D. from the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University. She has been recognized as a Super Lawyers Mid-South Rising Star consistently since 2018 and a National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Trial Lawyer since 2014. Calle is also a member of the American Association for Justice and the Alabama Association for Justice.

Outside of her legal practice, Calle volunteers with Adopt-a-Golden Birmingham and Grace Episcopal Church Woodlawn and is a member of the Junior League of Birmingham.
