Practice Area Overview

Experienced Lawyer in Shelby County

At Jim Pino & Associates, P.C. in Pelham, Alabama, we focus on the following areas of practice:

Divorce & Family Law

We provide our clients with experienced representation in all aspects of divorce and family law, including child custody and visitation, child support, alimony, paternity, adoption, prenuptial agreements, enforcement, and modifications.

Child Custody

Whether you need to establish a child custody schedule or seek to modify an order based on changing circumstances, we can help. The child's best interests are paramount to the courts and to us.

Child Support / Modification

While Alabama has uniform child support guidelines, there is room for deviations based on debts, joint custody, and a move out of state. At Jim Pino & Associates, P.C., we assist clients with obtaining a fair amount of child support and with seeking modifications as needed. Child support can also be modified when there is a substantial change in circumstances, such as a significant change in income or serious health issues.

Criminal Law

Protect your rights if you have been arrested. Criminal defense lawyer Jim Pino's experience and his knowledge of criminal law make him a powerful advocate for people charged with a crime.

DUI

When facing DUI charges and the administrative process of keeping your license, you need a strong advocate on your side. We will ensure that your rights are protected while striving for the best possible outcome.

Drug Charges

Mr. Pino represents clients charged with drug crimes at the state level. The consequences for drug possession and other drug crimes are serious and include possible jail time, probation, and loss of your driver's license.

Juvenile Cases

Our firm handles criminal defense cases for juvenile clients. We also represent juveniles, parents, and other family members in family law and domestic matters. Juveniles need their rights protected and defended in criminal matters. Parents and grandparents also have rights arising out of custody disputes, paternity issues, and dependency cases.

Personal Injury

He is an experienced litigator who will fight to get you the compensation you deserve in a serious personal injury or wrongful death action.

Workers' Comp

We can assist clients with obtaining compensation for work-related injuries under Alabama workers' compensation law. If you have been injured on the job, we can help.

Social Security
