  • Hunting and Fishing Violations

    Defense for Alabama Game and Fish Violations

    If you've been cited for a hunting or fishing violation in Alabama, you need an attorney who understands both the law and the outdoor lifestyle. We represent hunters, fishermen, and outdoor enthusiasts facing charges under Alabama's game and fish laws.

    Game and fish violations can result in serious consequences beyond fines—including loss of hunting and fishing privileges, forfeiture of equipment, potential jail time, and a criminal record that can affect your employment and future opportunities. Whether you're facing charges for hunting without a license, over-limit violations, trespassing while hunting, hunting out of season, baiting violations, or other wildlife infractions, we provide knowledgeable defense representation.

    We understand that violations sometimes result from honest mistakes, confusion about regulations, or disputed facts about what actually occurred. Our firm thoroughly investigates each case, examines the evidence, and challenges improper citations. We work to protect your privileges, minimize penalties, and preserve your ability to enjoy Alabama's rich hunting and fishing traditions.

    Don't let a game and fish violation jeopardize your outdoor privileges or result in an unnecessary criminal record. Contact us today for a consultation to discuss your case and learn how we can help protect your rights.
