Start with the Kind of Problem You Are Facing

If you were injured

Get appropriate medical care, preserve photographs and witness information, save medical and insurance paperwork, and do not sign a release before you understand what it would end. A useful review may consider the people and businesses involved, available insurance, treatment, work loss, liens, and evidence that could disappear.

For a detailed city-focused overview, read the Montgomery personal-injury guide. Separate information is available for Montgomery car-accident claims, commercial-truck crashes, and Alabama wrongful-death matters.

If you were arrested, charged, or contacted by investigators

Keep the citation, bond sheet, warrant information, court notice, and every written release condition. Do not miss a court date, violate a no-contact order, delete potential evidence, or try to explain the case through social media or a recorded jail call. Before giving a detailed interview or consenting to a search, consider obtaining legal advice.

The firm evaluates Montgomery County allegations involving DUI and serious traffic offenses, drug charges, theft and property offenses, assault and domestic-violence allegations, probation or bond matters, felonies, misdemeanors, and pre-charge investigations. The correct response depends on the evidence and procedural stage; the charge name alone does not determine the strategy or result.

The firm reviews claims involving car collisions; tractor-trailer, delivery-vehicle, and other commercial crashes; motorcycle, pedestrian, and bicycle injuries; unsafe-property claims; uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage; and wrongful-death matters under Alabama law.

This county guide provides a broad starting point. The Montgomery personal-injury page remains the site’s primary page for people specifically searching for injury representation in the City of Montgomery. The Pike Road guide provides the more focused local resource for eastern Montgomery County.

Criminal-Defense Matters Reviewed in Montgomery County

A criminal case may begin with a traffic stop, arrest, warrant, grand-jury process, probation report, request for an interview, or formal court notice. The first review should identify the exact court, charge, next date, bond conditions, and evidence that may need prompt preservation.

Depending on the case, later work may include obtaining reports and recordings, examining a stop or search, reviewing warrant materials, testing identification or statement evidence, addressing bond, evaluating laboratory or digital evidence, filing motions, negotiating when appropriate, or preparing for trial. No website can predict which step or outcome fits a particular matter.

Visitors can also review the firm’s Alabama criminal-defense guide, DUI defense information, and drug-charge defense information.

Preserve the Information the Case May Depend On

For an injury matter

Save photographs, crash or incident details, witness names, medical instructions, bills, work restrictions, receipts, repair estimates, insurance declarations, and correspondence. Do not repair or discard important damaged property until you know whether it should be documented or preserved.

For a criminal matter

Save the original paperwork, messages, photographs, video, receipts, and names of possible witnesses. Do not alter, delete, hide, or manufacture evidence. Follow every written bond and court condition. If a date, interview, surrender, or hearing is close, call the office rather than relying only on an online message.

Montgomery County Court Information

Montgomery County state courts are part of Alabama’s Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. A matter may involve municipal, district, circuit, juvenile, or another court, depending on the charge, claim, and procedural posture. Use the court name and case number printed on the actual document, and confirm current locations, hours, and notices through the official Montgomery County court website.

The firm’s office is at 801 Alabama Avenue, Suite 210C, Selma, Alabama 36701. An initial conversation can often begin by phone or online. Court appearances, meeting arrangements, conflicts review, and whether the firm can accept a matter depend on the individual case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the firm review both injury and criminal matters from Montgomery County?

Yes. The office reviews personal-injury, wrongful-death, and criminal-defense matters. Whether the firm can accept a particular case depends on the facts, conflicts, deadlines, location, and a written engagement agreement.

Where will my Montgomery County matter be heard?

The paperwork controls. A city citation, county charge, civil complaint, juvenile matter, or appeal may identify a different court or division. Confirm the court and date shown on the actual notice rather than relying on a general website description.

Can the first conversation begin without traveling to Selma?

Often, yes. Call or use the case-review form to request a telephone or video conversation. A remote initial discussion does not mean that every later meeting or court appearance can occur remotely.

What should I have ready when I call?

Have a short factual summary, the county and approximate date, the next known deadline or court date, and any basic report or case number. Do not send Social Security numbers, account numbers, medical records, or other highly sensitive information through the initial web form.
