Madison County, Alabama – Court Records

Even attempting to search for court records in much of Alabama can be tremendously difficult: ancient websites, archaic laws, even nonexistent telephone support lines. Just figuring out who to call can be a multiple-hour effort using an internet search engine.
Thankfully, this is not the case for court records in Madison County, Alabama – thanks in part to a wide set of well-designed, official websites. Their homepage on the web, found at http://www.madisoncountyal.gov/, serves as a portal for the rest of the services that they offer online. But if you’ve come to this page, then you will be primarily interested in the http://madisoncountycircuitclerk.org/ This page details all of the various court structures throughout Madison County, and can be a useful starting point.

We will repeat this information here, although the page can be found at http://madisoncountycircuitclerk.org/records.htm.
