FAQs

Practice Areas- NORTH CAROLINA AND SOUTH CAROLINA

If you have been charged with a crime, you need a knowledgeable and experienced criminal attorney on your side who will aggressively fight to protect your rights. I have devoted my entire legal career to defending people accused of crimes and have built a reputation as an aggressive trial attorney. My experience in the Carolina criminal justice system ensures you receive a competent and zealous defense from arraignment through trial.
When you are hurt, you deserve the same high-quality legal representation as large insurance companies, and I am committed to that principle. I represent people injured in auto accidents, slip and falls, wrongful deaths, and similar cases—always fighting to secure the maximum compensation available. With a contingency fee basis, you owe nothing unless I successfully recover funds on your behalf, eliminating the risk for you.
I have handled a wide variety of criminal cases, from misdemeanor and felony DUIs to more serious charges like three strikes cases. My reputation as an aggressive criminal trial attorney is built on years of experience and a dedication to upholding every client’s constitutional right to be presumed innocent. I am well-versed in challenging police procedures and have a strong track record of securing dismissals when constitutional rights have been violated.
I represent clients in a range of personal injury cases, including auto accidents, slip and falls, wrongful death, and medical malpractice. My approach is centered on aggressively negotiating with insurance companies and, when necessary, taking cases to litigation to exhaust policy limits for the maximum recovery. I handle each case with a personalized touch, ensuring that every detail is thoroughly investigated to build a strong claim on your behalf.
Car accident claims can be complex, with many factors influencing the outcome and the compensation you might recover, including medical bills, lost wages, and more. I work diligently to gather all available evidence—speaking with eyewitnesses, reviewing accident details, and handling all communication with insurance companies—to ensure no detail is overlooked. While I cannot guarantee a specific outcome, my aggressive settlement negotiations and proven litigation tactics are designed to secure the maximum compensation you deserve.
