The First Judicial Circuit
The First Circuit District Attorney’s Office represents the state of Alabama and prosecutes the felony, misdemeanor, and juvenile cases that occur in Choctaw, Clarke, and Washington counties. Duties include screening patients, their presentation to the Grand Jury, trial preparation, and presentation of evidence in Circuit and District Courts.
In close, cooperative partnership with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, we represent crime victims and the citizens of Choctaw, Clarke, and Washington counties while taking a proactive stand in preventing and reporting drug offenses, domestic violence, sexual assaults, and child abuse.
Stephen K Winters
The First Judicial Circuit has a new district attorney. Stephen Winters was appointed this week by Gov. Kay Ivey to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Spencer Walker. Winters, who practices law in Butler, served as a full-time assistant DA in the early 2000s and has since served part-time. See a story in this week’s Clarke County papers. The First Circuit is composed of Choctaw, Clarke and Washington counties.
