Defending North Carolinians Charged With Violent Crimes

If you’ve been charged with any violent crime from simple assault to capital murder, you need to know that your attorney is doing everything possible to protect you from the consequences of a conviction.

To develop and present an effective defense to serious felony charges, your lawyer should bring a variety of skills to your case – investigative resources to challenge the evidence against you while locating the witnesses who can help you, legal understanding to make an accurate assessment of your risks, negotiating techniques to help get the charges reduced or dismissed, and courtroom experience for putting your strongest arguments before a judge or jury in clear terms.
