Mr. Tidwell represented me and handled everything perfectly and with professionalism. He went above and beyond and truly cares about his clients. I would highly recommend him!
I was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana 1, a felony! I was so scared, and thought I was going to prison. I was told I could go to prison for 10 years! I contacted Mr. Tidwell, and after talking with him, I knew he was the best attorney for me. He and his staff were incredible. They guided me through the legal process explaining everything to me. Anytime I have a question, he was there to answer it. We ended up going to trial and the jury found me not guilty. I highly recommend Mr. Tidwell.
First and Foremost, I am an aggressive skilled negotiator and trial attorney who will fight for you. I have handled hundreds of cases with great success, and I would be glad to talk with you about your case.

Failed at everything !!!
After meeting with Jay he developed a game plan along with a reasonable timeline for these events to occur and 4k of his asking fee,s of 7500 were paid in cash at that meeting.After five months I was contacted by Jay only to be billed for the balance of his fee,s although Jay hadnt even signed up as my legal representative at that time to start working for me [ the first order of business].As a result of Jays [FAILURE TO PERFORM] I was incarsarated for eight months and now have a felony on my record along with losing my investment that I intrusted into Jays care !!! I an now in the legal process of dealing with Jay through the Alabama Bar Association !!!

"Jay Tidwell is known in the greater Birmingham-area for aggressive representation in criminal defense matters. He would be my first phone call if I needed a criminal defense lawyer (which is saying something because I am an attorney with a number of criminal defense contacts).
Jay's attention to detail, relentless preparation of his cases for trial, charisma with jurors, his relationships with district attorneys, and his credibility with judges make him an excellent choice for legal representation."
