Attorney Kyle Pierce is proud to have finally launched something that he's been working on in the background for quite some time: Alabama Courtroom Practice. A blog about changes to Alabama case law, case strategy, and how the practice of law in the twenty-first century really works. Hop over to Substack and give it a free subscription at https://courtroompractice.piercelegalteam.com/

The goal is to review each week's decisions from Alabama's appeals courts and provide periodic commentary with strategy & practical ideas. It will be pretty Attorney focused, but you don't have to be an attorney to get it.

Starting June 1, the court is holding Court Amnesty Month for the entire months of June and July.

If you have an outstanding Failure to Appear warrant, this is your window to come in, work it out, and move forward. No threat of immediate arrest. The court is waiving all Failure to Appear fees for anyone who shows up and takes steps to resolve their case.

Whether that means paying your original fines, setting up a payment plan, or getting back into compliance with a court-ordered program, we are giving our residents a real path to get right.
Come into the office Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 1 through July 31.
