About Christopher D. Salter, P.C.
Meet Attorney Salter
Christopher D. Salter is a Foley defense lawyer with more than two decades of legal experience representing clients in Baldwin County and surrounding areas. A graduate of law school in 2000, he opened his own practice in 2006 with a focus on delivering strong, practical defense strategies for individuals facing criminal charges. Over the years, he has built a respected reputation in Foley, Fairhope, Gulf Shores, and beyond for his commitment to protecting clients' rights and guiding them through some of the most stressful moments of their lives.
Credentials & Qualifications
Attorney Salter is admitted to practice law in the state of Alabama and has appeared before courts across Baldwin, Mobile, and Escambia Counties. His education, professional training, and years in the courtroom have equipped him to handle a wide range of criminal matters-from DUI and drug charges to municipal court cases and expungements. He stays current on Alabama's criminal statutes and local court procedures, ensuring his clients receive knowledgeable and effective representation every time they step into a courtroom.
Community and Court Experience
Having practiced in Baldwin County for decades, Christopher Salter is well acquainted with the judges, prosecutors, and court staff across the region. He has represented clients in Foley Municipal Court, Fairhope Municipal Court, Gulf Shores Municipal Court, and the Baldwin County Circuit Court, among others. His familiarity with the local legal landscape gives his clients an advantage-whether they are facing charges in a small-town court or dealing with more complex proceedings at the county level.
Our Philosophy
At the heart of Attorney Salter's work is a simple belief: every person is innocent until proven guilty. His approach is client-focused, meaning he takes the time to listen, explain options, and develop a defense strategy tailored to the unique circumstances of each case. While capable of handling the most serious criminal matters, his practice now concentrates on cases that allow him to provide strong advocacy without delving into the most traumatic case types.
A Practice Built on Referrals
Roughly half of all new cases come from past clients who recommend Attorney Salter to friends, family, and colleagues. This steady flow of referrals reflects not only his success in achieving favorable outcomes, but also the trust he earns by treating clients with respect, honesty, and clear communication throughout the process.
