An experienced trial and appellate lawyer with bi-lingual proficiency, Domingo Soto's cases run the gamut from terrorism, major international drug conspiracies, violent street crimes, and sexual or domestic abuse, all the way down to traffic and DUI defense. He is admitted to practice in the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of Alabama, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. and Alabama Supreme Courts as well as pro hac vice in other jurisdictions. His practice is limited to criminal defense law in both federal and state venues. 

Some cases can't be negotiated and must be tried. Soto has tried the majority of Class I federal cases brought within the Southern District of Alabama and has successfully defended many cases in Alabama's state and municipal courts. In Alabama state courts he has successfully tried the complete gamut of cases, including murder, robbery, rape, kidnap, dogfighting, and assaults.
