Over 48 Years of Experience

Criminal Appeals
If you've been convicted of a crime, you still have options. We handle criminal appeals throughout Western North Carolina, thoroughly reviewing trial records and developing compelling arguments to challenge wrongful convictions and seek justice on your behalf.
Criminal Defense
Our full-service criminal defense practice covers the complete spectrum of criminal charges, from misdemeanors to serious felonies. We respond promptly to your concerns and keep you informed of all important developments as your case progresses through the legal system.
Drug Trafficking and Drug Crimes
Drug charges carry severe penalties that can impact your future for years to come. Facing possession charges or allegations of drug trafficking requires a strategic defense designed to protect your rights and minimize the consequences.
DWI Defense
A DWI conviction can result in license suspension, hefty fines, and even jail time. We challenge field sobriety tests, breathalyzer results, and procedural errors to build the strongest possible defense for clients facing impaired driving charges.
Federal Criminal Defense
Federal charges involve complex procedures and aggressive prosecution that require experienced legal counsel. Our team handles federal criminal cases with the same personalized attention and thorough preparation that's made us successful in state courts throughout the region.
Murder and Homicide Defense
Homicide charges represent the most serious allegations you can face, carrying the potential for life imprisonment or worse. We provide aggressive representation in murder cases, investigating every detail and challenging the prosecution's evidence at every turn.
Serious Felonies
Felony convictions can strip away your freedom, your voting rights, and your ability to find employment. Our board-certified criminal law specialists bring decades of experience to defending clients against serious felony charges that threaten their future.
Sex Crimes
Sex crime allegations can destroy your reputation even before you're convicted. We understand the sensitivity these cases require and provide discreet, aggressive representation designed to protect both your rights and your dignity throughout the legal process.
White-Collar Crimes
Fraud, embezzlement, and other white-collar offenses often involve complex financial records and detailed investigations. We practice criminal defense and teach continuing education courses for other defense attorneys, bringing specialized knowledge to your white-collar crime case.
