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

Ticket
Christopher Beechler was AMAZING! I'm originally from VA and received a ticket when visiting friends in NC. Of course, I preferred to not have to drive back out there just to go to court about my ticket. I reached out to Christopher and he was very professional about the case. Not only was his profes...
M - Happy to save you some time and miles! Thank you, 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
