Birmingham Legal Services: Apex Law Appointments and Case Preparation

Apex Law’s Birmingham office is at 420 20th Street North, Birmingham, AL 35203. Office visits are by appointment only. Call (256) 203-4290 to arrange an appointment and confirm arrival instructions before visiting.

Start with your case and its next deadline

When contacting the firm, identify the type of matter, the county where a case is pending, any case number, and the next hearing or response deadline. Birmingham clients can begin with a telephone consultation or the appropriate online intake form. The firm also serves clients elsewhere in Alabama.

Divorce and family matters

For a contested divorce, custody dispute, support question, or issue with an existing order, review our divorce and custody services. Have current orders, proposed agreements, income information, and a short list of priorities ready.

When both spouses have agreed on every term, the uncontested divorce page explains eligibility and scope. Qualifying attorney fees are $1,000 without minor children and without post-judgment issues, or $1,300 with minor children, plus court filing fees. Up to two minor revisions are included.

Request a free paper evaluation for an agreed divorce, or book a $200, 30-minute telephone consultation. The consultation fee is credited toward your balance if you hire the firm.

Landlord and tenant cases

Landlords and property managers should prepare the lease, rent ledger, notices, delivery records, and any court papers. Identify whether the goal is possession, money recovery, or both.

Tenants facing eviction should send the notice, summons, complaint, and hearing date promptly, along with the lease, payment records, and relevant communications. The tenant resource collection and landlord resource collection provide more focused preparation guides.

Jefferson County: confirm the court and division

Jefferson County court information distinguishes the Birmingham and Bessemer divisions. Confirm the proper court and division with counsel and follow the location in the court notice for any hearing. The law firm’s office is not the courthouse.

Use the Jefferson County court website for official information and the Bessemer Division website when relevant. Confirm current fees and filing instructions with the appropriate clerk. The office you choose for a consultation does not determine where a case must be filed.

Injury and estate-planning appointments

Apex Law also handles personal injury matters and estate planning. Injury consultations are free. For an injury matter, identify the incident date, location, treatment, and any insurer correspondence. For estate planning, prepare your goals and the people you want to name as decision-makers.

Request an appointment

Contact Apex Law about your Birmingham matter or call (256) 203-4290. Requesting an appointment does not extend a court deadline. Ongoing representation begins after the firm accepts the matter and the engagement terms are agreed.
