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
