Birmingham ‎Criminal & DUI Lawyer

1. You are entitled to a strong defense that is custom-tailored to your specific situation.
2. You are presumed innocent and deserve a lawyer who will aggressively fight to uphold that presumption.
3. You deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of the allegations against you.
4. An effective criminal defense lawyer is not just your advocate in court but part of your support system.

To ensure that we provide each of our clients with the same level of exceptional service, we offer free consultations to anyone who is charged with or under investigation for a crime. During your consultation, we will take the time to get to know you and your situation. In addition to getting into the details of your arrest, we will also ask about your biggest concerns and what’s most important to you. We do this to ensure we’re on the same page and that the defense we develop is in line with your goals.

We also make ourselves available to you whenever you need to discuss your case. We believe that an open line of communication between lawyer and client is critical to the development of a strong defense, and we encourage you to reach out to us if you have any questions or ideas about your case.

Finally, we will never judge you. Over the past 25 years, Attorney Jason Stoves has handled all types of criminal cases in Birmingham and throughout north and central Alabama. We’ve done this long enough to know that the facts as presented by the state are rarely as they were in reality. Witnesses (including police officers) can—and often do—get things wrong. Sometimes, it’s as simple as an innocent mistake, but we’ve also seen many cases involving improper police conduct and witnesses who fabricate stories about our clients. The bottom line is that we will listen to what you tell us happened and work with you to develop a compelling defense designed to minimize the impact that your recent arrest has on the rest of your life.
