I grew up in Covington County and worked my way through Troy State University graduating with a degree in economics.  I worked in a local manufacturing plant for three years and was then accepted to law school at the University of Alabama.  I worked my way through law school and then opened my own law practice in Andalusia, AL.  I have always possessed a strong work ethic and this is what I will bring to my representation of you.

 

I specialize in Criminal Defense, Social Security Disability and Personal Injury cases. If you or a loved one has been arrested don’t let someone else choose your lawyer for you. Choose a lawyer that will fight to defend your rights. I can represent you in all criminal cases including possession of marijuana, driving under the influence, possession of a controlled substance, theft, robbery, assault, domestic violence, murder and all other felonies and misdemeanors. 

Are you hurt, sick or have a mental illness and are unable to work. I will guide you through the social security and disability process to get the benefits you deserve. I am able to handle social security cases and disability claims from start to finish. If you have been denied coverage, let us fight for you.

If you or a loved one has been injured and you believe someone else is at fault, it’s imperative to seek quality, personalized legal counsel. I have over 10 years of personal injury experience. I will work tirelessly on your case, handling every aspect, insuring that you will receive the compensation you deserve.

traffic ticket
Mr. Sylvester was very helpful throughout the process of dealing with a speeding ticket. He provided the best advice while determining how to handle the case and obtained a satisfactory outcome. I was an out of state client but his communication and efforts were very good.

Criminal Defense Lawyer for young college student
I was a young teenager who made an ignorant mistake and was facing a few charges. From the first day I contacted Rod, he was very personable and reassuring concerning what he thought the outcome of the case would be. Rod was very good at getting back to me immediately and never left me in the air with the status of my case. I truly believe that he gave me the time that I paid for which was well worth it. I can not express how much gratitude I have towards him for all of his help. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Great Lawyer
Mr. Sylvester handled my criminal case and was able to get all charges dismissed. I was on my way to spring break and got pulled over and arrested. I contacted Mr. Sylvester, and he handled everything. I wasn't even required to show up for court. Mr. Sylvester handled everything. I would definitely hire him again.
