Best Attorney around

“I’m deeply grateful to Mr. Pritchett for his help with my DWI case and securing limited driving privileges. From the start, he was professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me through a difficult chapter. His knowledge of the legal process and his calm, confident approach made eve...rything feel more manageable. Thanks to his efforts, I was able to maintain some independence and continue meeting my responsibilities. I couldn’t have asked for better representation.”

Literally the best lawyer I could possibly ask for

Jan Pritchett has been an amazing blessing in my life. I got into some pretty serious trouble and have had to spend some time digging myself out. He was referred to me by another lawyer, and gave me a great rate based on that referral, and has treated me like family ever since. When I got sober last ...year, he would check up on me to see how I was doing, invited me to play basketball with him at church, always asks how my mom is doing, etc. He's also very quick to respond to any random questions I ever have and is very patient with explanations and advice. Oh, how did my court case go, you ask? Well, he basically got it dismissed. He knows all the judges and is friends with lots of people behind the scenes, and is a master of "judge shopping." He's got one more thing to represent me on, then I'm totally in the clear. I do not think another lawyer could have done it this well. He is a great lawyer and a great human being, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks Jan!!

True Super Lawyer

I hired Mr. Pritchett to handle an extremely complicated case. He was extremely knowledgeable in the area if law. He was empathetic of my situation and was always available if I had any questions or concerns abiut my case. Jan made me feel that I was important and validated my concerns by educating... me on the facts of my case to decrease my worries and anxiety. His retainer was reasonable and well worth the money. I would highly recommend him!

"I had many cases with Jan as opposing counsel for the 15 years I was a prosecutor. He was always, professional, ethical, & did excellent work for his clients. Seven years ago, I joined the defense bar & am happy to call Jan a colleague now. He does so much for our local bar & is a wonderful lawyer. And he’s definitely on my short list of who I would call if I were ever in trouble."

"I have known Jan for close to 20 years. He supervised me as an intern in the Guilford County District Attorney's office while I was still in law school. I learned a lot from him in a short period of time. I think the most valuable lesson was watching how to respectfully treat your apposing counsel while still zealously doing your job. In the years that I have been in private practice, I have referred everything that I could to Jan. He does a fantastic job and gets good results. I highly recommend him for any criminal matter."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
