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.

Review
Chris represented me about 11 years ago. Recently the laws changed and Chris has the foresight to contact me and tell me that he could now help me even further with my case. He didn’t have to do that but he had genuine concern for me as a client, even years later. This is a difference maker in my min...
Tim - Even though the past situation didn't prevent you from impressive professional success, I'm glad we could close it out forever. Sometimes changes to criminal laws is actually a good thing! I'm sure I'll see you at some event in the near future. Call my with any concerns. Thank you, Chris

Excellent attorney.
Chris advised me strongly and in my best interest from day one. I couldn't have made it through without his knowledge, wisdom and guidance. I have a completely different view of a criminal defense lawyer after walking through the most horrible time in my life. He was very organized when I was interv...
