A: In response to your question, I would need additional facts. Therefore, my response at this time is that depends on the state. Alabama is a one party state, which means that when one person in the conversation chooses to record the conversation, the other person is not required to be informed. There are some special circumstances that may require you to notify the other person there is a recording in progress. Therefore, before you do this you should come in for a consultation and discuss the situation and facts in detail.
