After graduating from Auburn, Seth attended the Jones School of Law at Faulkner University where he obtained his J.D.

Seth has tried approximately 60 jury trials, prepared over 4,500 cases on trial dockets, and been involved in close to 10,000 cases at various points.

I could have gone into private practice at any point in my legal career but my heart has always been in serving the people of Houston and Henry County and that’s why I am running for this position. My heart is in this service to my community and I think I am more than equipped to continue serving in the capacity of a Judge.

Seth then returned home to Dothan in 2014 where he has served the people of Henry and Houston counties as an Assistant District Attorney. His duties have included prosecuting traffic tickets all the way to capital murders and everything in between. If there is one thing he has, it is experienced in the courtroom. He also handles Rule 32 petitions, and habeas corpus petitions, and has handled the forfeitures of canines and other animals in two different cases. Along with his duties of prosecuting cases, Seth has spoken to local business owners about the issues they face with corruption and fraud in the workplace at a seminar hosted by Troy University – Dothan and has helped prepare a new Dothan Police Department recruits with testifying in the courtroom.

Seth is married to fellow Dothan attorney, Jordan Reeves Brooks, and they have three children Janie Reeves and twins Sullivan Monroe and Smith Roland. Jordan is the daughter of Tim and Wendy Reeves, owners of Hunt’s Restaurant. They are members of Covenant United Methodist Church. When not at work Seth enjoys Auburn football, hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family and their two dogs. He is a member of the Dothan and Taylor Masonic Lodges, the Krewe of Kolosse Mardi Gras Society, the Dothan Area Young Professionals, Houston County Fraternal Order of Police, Wiregrass Alcazar Shriner’s Club, VFW Auxiliary, and the Houston County Bar Association where he is a part of the philanthropy committee.
