Civil Rights
Everyone should be treated equally under the law. The U.S. and NC Constitutions, along with several federal and state statutes protect you from discrimination and unequal treatment by government officials. If you’ve experienced discrimination, police misconduct, or violations of your constitutional rights, we’re here to stand with you and fight for justice. You don’t have to face injustice alone, we’re in your corner. ●Protester Defense ●Employment Discrimination ●False Arrest ●False Imprisonment ●Excessive or Deadly Use of Force by Law Enforcement Our litigation fees are designed to provide transparency and align our interests with yours. Typically, the fee arrangement involves two components: ●An initial upfront retainer fee to cover the early phases of case preparation and legal work. ●A contingency fee based on a percentage of the recovery or settlement if your case is successful. This split fee structure means you pay a portion of the legal fees upfront, which helps us dedicate immediate resources to your case. The remaining balance is contingent on achieving a positive outcome, helping to reduce your financial risk.
Criminal Defense/Traffic Tickets
If you are facing criminal charges, you need an attorney who will focus on protecting your rights—not judging your situation. In the criminal justice system, it is your constitutional rights and freedom that are at stake. The earlier you have an experienced defense lawyer on your side, the more effectively they can step in to protect you—whether that means challenging how evidence was collected, making sure law enforcement respects your rights, or ensuring prosecutors play by the rules. Our role is not to dwell on guilt or innocence, but to stand between you and the power of the state, making sure your voice is heard and your rights are defended at every stage of the process. Even if you have a warrant for your arrest, we can advise you on the safest, smartest next steps to protect yourself. Don’t make the mistake of just paying your traffic ticket—it is the same as pleading guilty. A guilty plea to many traffic violations can add points to your driver’s license, raise your insurance premiums, and even lead to a suspension of your license depending on your record. What may seem like a quick fix can have long-term and costly consequences. With the help of an experienced traffic defense attorney, you may be able to avoid these penalties. In many cases, we can negotiate to have charges reduced, protecting your insurance rates and your driving privileges. Even more importantly, we can often prevent a traffic ticket from becoming a criminal matter that could put your driver’s license at risk of suspension or revocation. Protect your license, your record, and your peace of mind by letting us advocate for the best possible outcome.
