I have practiced criminal defense law since 2001. I am a board certified specialist in state and federal criminal law (by the NC State Bar Board of Legal Specialization). I represent clients in all types of criminal matters around the state. I have tried over 60 jury trials in 10 NC counties and the NC federal district courts. I also represent clients on appeal in the NC appellate courts and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. I love practicing law, and I'm always prepared to take on new cases.

Highly recommend Mr. Beechler
My case was unusual. I had a 4.5 year old pending charge on my record that had never been served to me. I needed the charge gone almost immediately so that I could start a new job due to the charge showing as pending on my background check. I contacted upwards of 30 lawyers and Chris Beechler got bac...
Thank you Morgan! I hope the new position is just what you hoped it would be. I'm glad I could step in and deliver for you on a pretty tight deadline! All my best, Chris

My brief but impressionable experience
I recieved a very upsetting phone call and found Mr Beechler thru Google search. He was not in office so I left a message. I did not have high hope of getting a return call since I am not (hopefully) and never have been a client. However much to my surprise, he did call. He had a confident and r...
Thanks, Charlene! I'm glad that brief situation died a quick death! I'm always available if you need anything. Chris

The real deal!
Chris was quick to respond, listen to and evaluate my situation. He advised me of my options and put everything in motion immediately. He was able to get me the best possible outcome for my case and communicated with me every step of the way. I highly recommend.
Thank you - I'm glad it was relatively painless! I'm here if anything new pops up. Chris

Transparent, polite, with a true desire to help.
If you told me last year I'd be writing a review for a lawyer that helped me with a criminal case I would have laughed at you. It wasn't funny when it happened though, it was terrifying. I had never been in trouble before. That's when Chris Beechler showed up to his firm on a Saturday that he had sch...
DD - Wow. I know I'll be accused of paying you for that incredibly thoughtful review! Thank you for taking the time to write it; it's humbling and very much appreciated. I enjoyed working with you and meeting a special member of your family. I wanted to deliver for you from the time I heard the allegations. I'm so glad this bump in the road is gone - forever! Please call me anytime if you need anything in my specialty area or any other. Again, you just reminded me of why I love what I do. Chris

great result
Chris and his team were fantastic! They were able to completely resolve a traffic citation for my daughter. I could not be happier with their professionalism, communication and helpfulness.
Thank you - Please call us anytime if we can help in the future! Chris
