You see it on our homepage and in a lot of the content we produce. As a law firm, we firmly advocate for “The Power of Representation” for the people of Northern Alabama. But, what does this mean for you, your family, and your community?
Ultimately, the Power of Representation is about giving everyone an opportunity to share their story, defend their rights, and live in the peace they are owed as American citizens. We uphold your rights through effective legal counsel and advocacy in Alabama criminal defense, personal injury, and family legal matters.
Defending Your Rights in Alabama Criminal Cases
Representing the people of Alabama in criminal cases requires careful attention to detail and a keen understanding of not just what the law says but how it is applied. There’s a key notion in there—what the laws and how the courts apply it are sometimes two different things. Your defense needs to be focused on the reality we live in and not just throwing “the law” at the prosecution.
We craft a personalized criminal defense strategy in cases including:
- DUI
- Drug Charges
- Domestic Violence/Assault
- Property Crimes
- Probation/Bond Issues
- Expungement
From defending your rights to helping you get back on your feet through the expungement process, we’re here to help every step of the way.
Supporting the People of Alabama After Personal Injuries
When you’re injured in Alabama, you shouldn’t have to focus on the legal case you’ve been forced to pursue. You need time to recover and focus on healing mentally and physically while a competent personal injury attorney focuses on helping you recover financially. Having an advocate who knows the ins and outs of pursuing insurance litigation against bad-faith insurance tactics in our state is critical.
We are equipped to handle a wide variety of personal injury cases, including but not limited to:
- Car & Truck Accidents
- Nursing Home Abuse
- Construction Injuries
- Slip and Fall
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Wrongful Death
- On the Job Accidents
- Animal/Dog Bites
- Social Security Disability
- Insurance Claims
- Medical Malpractice
Your first call after an Alabama personal injury accident should be to seek medical help. Your second should be to talk to your attorney and get on the road to physical, mental, and financial recovery.
Standing Up for Alabama Families
Last but certainly not least is our devotion to representing Alabama families. Family law cases are a sensitive area that requires the careful and considerate attention of an experienced attorney. The Power of Representation owed to families includes helping them through divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, division of assets, family law modifications, and more.
Whether you need help protecting your family, recovering after a personal injury, or defending your rights in criminal court, contact John M. Totten, P.C. today to get the true Power of Representation.
