Winner, skill, knowledge, integrity and honesty. Best of the best

John Floyd There are many things I could say ,all positive. This man is such a genius and when he's in the court room it's as if a silence comes while John absolutely captures EVERYONE in the courtroom and whatever he suggest the DA and the judge seem to go forward with what John suggests. I ...know im forever grateful for his skill, knowledge, and his way to bring a girl a light where before she had none. Thank you John and office staff. Forever you are my hero!

Don't hire this crook

This guy is a crook. He tried to leave me in jail and put my court date off for 4 months when I was due to get out of jail hoping my family would pay him.... The judge let me out after he said he wanted to get me put off. My time was up and all the judge had to do was call my name to look at my mi...nimum sentence date and see I was due for release. I had 2 other cases pending and John was trying to get my family to pay him for the 2 court dates that were over a year away. What a crook. Never hire an attorney with more pending felonies that you have. Google his name.

WINNER!!!

John has represented me since I was 24yr old. Unfortunately all my cases were felony drug charges UPCS,UDCS, CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT DRUG TRAFFICKING. John Floyd is such genius so powerful that when he enters a court room its as if he absoulty has a spell upon everyone and His skill, knowledge and His p...resentation is GROUNDBREAKING, EARTHSHATTERING. He does his job with such composure and excellence. Never have I witnessed anything like it before. Everyone respects him as well as his law firm & family. I'm forever grateful for him, his knowledge and his ability to take a cloudy day and turn but into sunshine. Trust me if you need the #1 criminal defense attorney Floyd Law Firm. John is my hero . I'm grateful that today I can go visit his office and its not about a case. My life is great, I finally grew up and can be grateful for my consequenses . Without any there's in lesson, thank you John your absoulty the greatest.

Top Shelf

I hired John twenty four years ago on a DR case convoluted with Intervenors (grand-parents) and DHR. The case lasted several years and John prevailed every hearing--except one the judge erred, but was not about to be so informed by an almost thirty year old attorney, so naturally he appealed the orde...r. The order was remanded and reversed in part; the grounds John appealed . This is not an Attalla Country Club lawyer. The Floyd's are a Professional Law Firm. Do not let the smile and confident attitude fool you this guy is good at his skill. Trust John Floyd, he knows what he is doing,

Interimly suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice during a disciplinary investigation. The suspension typically expires when the investigation is resolved.

Stayed Suspension/Probation issued in AL, 2002

updated on 01/30/2013

Stayed suspension/probation means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. This type of suspension means the attorney has been suspended, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements. In this case the State also monitors the lawyer's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
