Moulton Defense Attorney
If you have been charged with a crime in Alabama, don't be rude to the police officer, don't talk smart — and don't talk, period. Police officers receive more training in interrogation than in almost any other area of law enforcement. Once a police officer has decided to arrest you for a crime, there is nothing you can say to change his mind. At best, you won't help your case. At worst, what you tell the police officer might not be what gets written down in his report.
I am attorney John E. Mays. My entire law practice consists of defending those accused of committing crimes. From my office in Decatur, I represent criminal defendants throughout northern Alabama, including Huntsville, Decatur, Athens and Madison.
I have more than 34 years of criminal defense experience. I am board certified in criminal trial advocacy by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. Board certification for an attorney is similar to what a doctor could do to become a specialist rather than a general practitioner. Only a lawyer who is board-certified has the right to call himself a specialist in an area of law.
I have been listed as an Alabama Super Lawyer since 2008 and as one of the top lawyers in Alabama in 2009 and 2010. In 2008 I received the Roderick Beddow Award, the Alabama Criminal Defense Lawyer's Association's highest honor, for lifelong contributions to the practice of criminal law. I received the ACDLA's President's Award on four separate occasions.
