Legal help rooted in Birmingham

Built here, fighting for this community

Birmingham is home for Maxwell Tillman Firm LLC. We live the reality of this city, from the courthouse downtown to the neighborhoods where families keep pushing forward through pressure. People here deserve lawyers who understand local courts and who are not afraid to challenge power when it harms the community.


We represent Birmingham clients in personal injury cases, civil rights litigation, criminal defense, criminal appeals, and employment law disputes, with a trial-first approach that keeps pressure where it belongs.

Proud to serve Birmingham and give back

Maxwell Tillman was built for Alabama communities that are too often expected to accept less. Our attorneys are rooted in Birmingham and committed to showing up for people who need powerhouse representation in personal injury, civil rights, criminal defense, and employment cases. We bring trial-ready preparation to every matter because real justice takes real work.


That commitment does not stop at the courthouse doors. We stay active in the neighborhoods and counties we serve, from Jefferson County to the Black Belt. Through community events, outreach, and our inmate hotline program, we keep a direct line to the people who rely on us. Serving Birmingham, Selma, Demopolis, Camden, Greensboro, Marion, and the communities in between is not a marketing line for us. It is the reason the firm exists.
