John is an extremely knowledgeable lawyer. Not only does he understand the law, he is able to explain it in a way that even I could understand. His legal staff is top notch. Bridgett Jackson has a unique ability to be able to explain both sides of an argument. She can show understanding about how you feel you were wronged while at the same time, explaining to you how the court will likely perceive the situation. This is not something all law firms do. Many firms will only tell clients what they want to hear, costing the clients a lot of time and money, and the outcome being the same. With this firms knowledge and personal relationships in the community, they are able to find solutions for difficult situations that are in the clients best interest.

John was the best attorney for my case! It was necessary to file contempt charges due to non-compliance of child support that concerned our children’s college expenses, which was written in our divorce decree. On the surface, this would seem like an easy case, but due to extenuating circumstances it was not. I did my research and found the best attorney in Alabama. John is outstanding at what he does. He was honest and straightforward from day one. At no fault of Mr. Totten, this was a lengthy case (due in part to COVID, mediation delays, and other circumstances). He and his staff persisted and saw my case through. Bridget always responded quickly, especially via email, as that was the easiest form of communication for me. John and his staff are exceptionally skilled in what they do! I am beyond pleased with the outcome we received. I am so appreciative of John and his staff. One of the best decisions I have ever made was to hire John Totten. If you are looking for the best attorney in Alabama for your case, consult with John Totten. You will not be disappointed!

Best lawyer I know, very honest and honorable man. He will listen and not judge. I would recommend him over any attorney in Alabama. Very kind and respectful and patriotic.

Mr. Totten took our case that we thought was going to be short and easy! Turned out that was not going to happen. What should have been a few papers in front of the judge and done turned into like a year long thing. Not at any of his fault.He and his team never gave up! Totten was always there to answer any questions and help!! My family is very grateful for him and his office! And I would recommend him to anyone!

Attorney John Totten and his legal team recently represented me in my divorce of 17 years. Him and his team were helpful from the first meeting all the way through the signing of final paperwork. I strongly encourage anyone needing legal advice or representation to contact John Tottens office.

I came to Mr. Totten through high recommendation in what felt like my darkest hour. My character was being assassinated, I was removed (temporarily) from my children and felt like my world was being turned upside down! Mr. Totten and his staff Bridgett and Shelbie came to my rescue like the Avengers! They had such a calming spirit and reassurance that not only did they have my back, but that they were prepared to go to battle on my behalf! In moments of uncertainty and frustration it was Bridget’s calming spirit who would tell me “take a deep breath, you know who you are and know that you’re a great father, we’ve got you” Mr. Totten was always punctual for our appearances, organized and a true battle tested expert at his profession. Watching him in the court room was like watching Ken Griffey Jr. At the plate execute the “perfect swing.” When it was all said and done, I was awarded joint custody of my babies and just about every single thing we fought for we were able to lay claim too. I would not recommend any other law office for your legal needs! This group is certainly the best in the business and made what felt like the worst time of my life, truly a smooth transition into a brand new and rewarding beginning.
