About Steven

I work hard for my clients, but I also spend time with my family.  I have two toddler boys and a beautiful wife.  I attend church regularly and I'm a believer in Christ.  These are the reasons I do what I do.  

 

I defend those that can't help themselves and those charged with heinous crimes with passion because that's what God has given me the ability to do.  And I fight for the rights of parents during a divorce because I know what's a stake in these matters.  

 

I am an avid Alabama Crimson Tide Fan which is really the only hobby I have time to enjoy.  The University of Alabama will always have a special place in my heart because that's where I met my wife, a beautiful sorority girl I fell in love with the moment I saw her.  We started beautiful family together and Alabama helped make that happen.  Roll Tide!

Professional misconduct


This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority.

  • Suspension
    issued in AL, 2016

    updated on 08/02/2016

    This means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

  • Reprimand
    issued in AL, 2016

    updated on 07/12/2016

    This means the attorney did something wrong, but the State did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Steven Eversole's response: Thank you very much. We try very hard for our clients and while we can't guarantee outcomes, we expect only the best results. As Bear Bryant once said after being asked how he wanted to be remembered he replied, "I’d like for people to remember me as a winner, because I ain’t never been nothing but a winner.... " Words to live by.

When you find yourself in need of a lawyer, you undoubtedly want the most qualified. Not only does Mr. Eversole have all of the credentials, but he diligently, knowledgeably, and strategically worked on my behalf to ensure that our desired outcome was obtained. Finding myself in the midst of a divorce/custody battle, I was so grateful for the representation of Steven Eversole. I would recommend him to anybody seeking nothing short of the best in the area.

Best Lawyer I have ever worked with

Posted by

Best law firm in Birmingham! I've used them for marriage related issues as well as criminal matters, and I've never had any issues. I have zero complaints about this firm. The entire staff is knowledgeable and incredibly nice. I've send several friends to them and they also have had nothing but positive experiences. Thank you, Eversole!

I am delighted with the result of my case

Posted by

Steven is a great listener, works incredibly hard, and brings an energy that is hard to match. He treated me with the utmost respect and answered all of my questions. His flat fee is also fair based on the other estimates I received. He was very detailed and took his time to make sure I understood every step of the process. Finally, he fought hard, and I am delighted with the result of my case.

Steven Douglas Eversole is a fantastic lawyer who prioritizes both winning and establishing a positive relationship with his clients. Perhaps most remarkable was his ability to design several unique, efficient and calculated actions that allowed him to develop a highly successful strategy for us. If you're looking for someone, who will fight tooth and nail for you, here you go. We are thankful to have had such a good experience and outcome.

Dedicated to client's rights!!!!!

Posted by

I don't even know where to start. Eversole Law should have been the first firm I hired in Alabama and not the last. I needed Steve to help with an appeal from the Family Court to the Court of Civil Appeals and despite the horrible decision from the Court's. (on every level in my case) Ashley, Steve and Sam worked very hard and diligent to argue for my family and tried very hard to fix things that were very wrong. Their knowledge of the law and their passion for their clients rights were always apparent to me. I felt as though I was his family and he was my big brother sticking up for me when I couldn't. Even from 700 miles away. My case was a super complex interstate UCCJEA case that originated from a Divorce in Virginia and since has returned there. If by chance I EVER need any Legal representation in Alabama in the future he will be the first person I call. Ashley was always pleasant, responsive and on top of everything. I never felt once that they didn't have time to listen to me or answer a question. I never felt that they didn't have my best interest at heart or a plan of action. Everything was filed promptly, as discussed and adressed my situation. Their communication with myself and my wife was above expectation. Some people say Lawyers don't get personal about clients or cases, or that they don't care about the outcome. I can honestly say I disagree (I could hear it in his voice he care's)! I was left with the feeling that they did absolutely everything they could have done with what they were handed. And on such short notice at that. I truly believe if I had hired him first the outcome would have been extremely different. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. Ashley, Steve and Sam if you should see this review. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you!

A cut above the rest!!

I have to say, the day we got the call from my son saying he was in serious criminal trouble in Alabama, I thought it was a no win situation and that serious jail time was ahead for him. He had class A felony charges filed against him with 10 years to 99 years sentences possible. Being from the northeast I had nowhere to turn to or anyone to help us. Well, after reading many reviews about Steven Eversole law firm and that he specializes in these types of crimes and having read how people felt comfortable with him and had great results, I decided to give him a call. From day one Steven assured me that he would fight very hard for my son and would do his best to see that the least amount of jail time would be served. That's what i wanted to hear. Through out the legal process Steven and his team walked us through the whole judicial system in an unfamiliar state. Sam Dixon who was assigned to our case couldn't have been better. The way he interacted with the judge and prosecuting attorneys was professional and done with great skill. I was amazed and quite stunned that a probation sentence was given instead of any prison time. Im not sure we would have gotten those results with anyone else. I would highly recommend hiring Steven Eversole law firm for whatever situation you find yourself in that needs attorney assistance. A heart felt thank you Steven and also to your entire team!!

Aggressive and exactly what my case needed!!

Posted by

I needed to hire an attorney for my contested divorce. I was extremely nervous to do so because there were so many to choose from and I had no idea where to start. My husband had already threatened to take everything from me and I needed the right attorney. I found Mr. Eversole online and immediately schedule an appointment to hopefully get everything started. He met with me the same day and calmed my nerves regarding the entire process. He gave me my confidence back and was extremely aggressive against the other side. We are almost over with the entire divorce proceedings and i couldn't be happier with the result. THANK YOU Mr. Eversole for believing in me and doing everything you could to fight for me case!!
