Erin Valentine-Fitzgerald Legal Assistant

I was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. I graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice.
In 2008, I became a police officer and later advanced to the rank of Detective. During my law enforcement career, I earned my Juris Doctorate from Miles Law School. In 2025, I was blessed with a promotion to the rank of Lieutenant.
My experiences in policing have sharpened my ability to communicate effectively, investigate cases, and organize information.
The quote I live by is:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV
Truman Fitzgerald Attorney at Law

Like my wife, I was also born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. I also graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice.
In 2010, I fell in love with Law after taking my first Law course at UAB, Introduction to the Judicial Process in America. I became a police officer in 2011, which was a dream come true for me. My love for Criminal Defense and the United States Constitution inspired me to complete law school at Birmingham School of Law and become an attorney (2021).
My experience as a police officer has blessed me with firsthand knowledge of the American criminal justice system. What I love most about being a criminal defense attorney is practicing in an area of Law that impacts people's lives. I enjoy telling my clients' stories while fighting for them against the powerful criminal justice system.
