Criminal Defense Attorney in Alabama

Being charged with a crime is overwhelming, and the consequences can be serious. Whether you’re facing a misdemeanor, felony, or DUI, you need someone who will stand by you. I defend clients against a wide range of criminal charges, including DUI, drug offenses, violent crimes, theft, and domestic violence cases.

From the moment you call, I’ll work with you to build a strong defense, explain your options, and fight for the best possible outcome. The legal system can be confusing, but you won’t have to navigate it alone.


Personal Injury Lawyer: Fighting for the Compensation You Deserve

An unexpected injury can upend your life. If you’ve been hurt due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. I handle cases involving car accidents, truck accidents, slip and falls, and wrongful death claims.

Insurance companies often try to minimize what they owe, but I make sure my clients are treated fairly. From handling negotiations to taking cases to court when necessary, I take a direct, no-nonsense approach to fighting for the compensation you deserve.


Family law issues can be some of the most difficult legal challenges a person faces. Whether you’re dealing with a divorce, child custody dispute, or support matter, I help clients understand their rights and work toward solutions that fit their needs.

I handle contested and uncontested divorces, custody and support modifications, and protection from abuse orders. Every case is different, and I take the time to understand my clients’ goals while providing straightforward legal guidance.


A Lawyer Who Puts Clients First

When you hire me, you work directly with me—not a case manager or paralegal. I take a hands-on, personalizedapproach, making sure my clients always know where their case stands and what comes next.

I believe in clear, practical communication without legal jargon or unnecessary complications. Whether it’s a criminal charge, injury claim, or family law matter, my goal is to help you move forward with confidence.
