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.

Excellent
He reacted very quick to my case. I was charged with a felony which he was able to get a plea deal and ultimately have expunged. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone in need of a criminal lawyer in the Winston Salem Area.
E - that was a ridiculous situation. I'm so happy it's over and expunged! Good luck with everything - call me if I can ever help. Thank you, Chris
