Our office is prohibited by law from providing private citizens with legal advice, representation, or opinions (Code of Alabama, 1975, Title 36, Chapter 15). The Attorney General's Office does not handle any domestic cases (example: child support, child custody, divorce, etc.) or probate matters (real estate, wills, property disputes, etc.). To obtain an attorney or legal aid referral, you may contact the Alabama State Bar Lawyer Referral Service at http://www.alabar.org or by calling 1-800-392-5660.

Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  One member of our firm has served as a prosecutor in both state and federal court during his career. With this background and experience, we have represented individuals accused of criminal conduct by state and federal authorities in the connection with the operation of their businesses. We have also been asked to represent clients who have been the victim of bank fraud and who have responsibility under federal law to report such activity to appropriate authorities.
• Wrongful Death
  Each of the attorneys in the firm has extensive experience in defending claims for catastrophic injury, wrongful death and property damage brought against owners, operators or management companies of commercial properties. These entities include hospitals, nursing homes, schools, motels, inns, hotels, shopping centers and convenience stores. Premise liability claims are frequently found in false arrest and imprisonment cases, dram shop litigation, negligence claims, and slip and fall matters. Our attorneys have also defended private security companies for claims arising as a result of violent crimes occurring on commercial properties, whether as a result of negligence, inadequacy or failure to access and address properly the risk of a potential crime on property. Through the multiple years of experience in defending premise liability cases, our lawyers recognize the distinctions in the status of the claimant on premises and how that status affects the premises owner. With commitment and purpose, our lawyers put forth the most compelling and aggressive defense possible for our clients.
