When facing criminal charges, it's crucial to consult with a dedicated criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Early intervention can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case, allowing our legal team to gather critical evidence, interview witnesses, and develop a robust defense strategy to counter the prosecution's case against you.

Securing your release from custody while awaiting trial can be crucial to preparing an effective defense. Both the North Carolina Constitution and the US Constitution prohibit excessive bail. Our knowledgeable attorneys would like to represent you at bail and bond hearings, advocating for your release if possible. We believe it imperative you maintain your freedom as your case progresses, given it's important to assist counsel in locating witnesses and investigation of other possible suspects. If you're in jail, you have limited phone use and a diminished ability to communicate privately with counsel, therefore making it difficult to plan a defense strategy with your attorney.

A strong defense often begins with pre-trial motions and negotiations. Our attorneys are experienced in identifying and challenging procedural errors, violations of your constitutional rights, and weaknesses in the prosecution's case. We will work diligently to suppress evidence, dismiss charges, or negotiate favorable plea agreements on your behalf, as may be available/appropriate. Obviously, each case, like each person facing criminal charges, is different and unique. No defense attorney can ever promise a result or guarantee victory. We believe courtroom legal skills and a reputation for arguing pre-trial motions, such as a motion to dismiss or a motion to suppress, and taking cases to trial, help in the negotiation process. Representing clients in district court trials with a judge and/or a superior court jury trial helps defense lawyers develop a realistic perspective of the judicial system and the likelihood of success (or failure) at trial. In the negotiations with the prosecutor, past losses are as important as past wins. They provide context for legal opinions on the most appropriate manner in which to proceed. The decision to enter a negotiated plea rather than take a case to trial is important. If you've not tried a case to completion with a jury, that lack of experience is problematic at best. We're courtroom lawyers. Our team has substantial experience trying cases, and arguing legal matters to the finder of fact and juries.

If your case goes to trial, you can rely on our experienced criminal defense attorneys and their trial skills. Our trial-tested legal team will work hard to prepare a defense strategy and present a compelling case to the judge or jury, utilizing persuasive arguments, expert testimony (when and if appropriate), and powerful cross-examinations to fight for your acquittal.

Being accused of a crime before formal charges are filed can be an intimidating and frightening experience. Our attorneys will work with you to develop pre-charge strategies, investigate the alleged incident, and protect your rights. We provide representation in law enforcement investigations and interviews. It is advisable to consult with legal counsel before giving a statement, speaking with law enforcement, signing anything, or providing any type of assistance to a criminal investigation. Timing can be key. If you're the target of a criminal investigation or have been asked to "come in and answer a few questions," exercise your 6th Amendment legal right to counsel and 5th Amendment right to remain silent. Advise law enforcement that you wish to consult with a lawyer and contact us immediately. Remain silent. Do not answer questions or provide additional information, even if pressured to do so by the police or detectives.
