I graduated in 1993 at Faulkner School of Law with honors and was a member of the justice court. I have had my trial practice for 24 years which is a 2nd generation law practice and has existed in Mobile and Baldwin Counties of Alabama for over 50 years. My practice areas are Bankruptcy, Criminal, DUI, Personal Injury which includes: Maritime, Auto-Accidents,Workers Compensation and other type cases.

My name is James M. Byrd and I'm a Mobile, Alabama criminal defense attorney. I was born in Mobile and graduated from Jefferson Davis High School in Montgomery. Following that, I attended Duke University and graduated from The University of Alabama with a degree in Political Science and History. I come from a family of criminal defense lawyers and I always had a desire to become a criminal defense attorney. After my college graduation, I decided to attend The University of Alabama School of Law. In 1979 I graduated and passed the Alabama State Bar. I moved immediately to Mobile to begin my criminal practice with experienced criminal defense attorneys. I have continued that practice every day since October 1979.
