PRACTICING FOR OVER 35 YEARS WITH A FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION


I am a life-long resident of High Point, NC, graduating from T. Wingate Andrews High School in 1979. I then enrolled at Appalachian State University, graduating in 1983 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration, majoring in Economics. I then enrolled in law school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, graduating in 1987, subsequently starting my own law practice. I was admitted to practice in Federal Court in me Board Certified in State and Federal Criminal Law by the North Carolina State Bar in 1996. In addition to being Board Certified, I am also a former Assistant District Attorney.

Although a large part of my practice is devoted to DWI cases, I regularly handle cases from speeding tickets all the way up to murder cases. To date I have handled 78 First-Degree Murder cases, with many involving the death penalty, which are the most complex and stressful cases an attorney can handle. I have tried capital murder trials, during my 34 years of practice, in High Point, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Asheboro, and Lexington. As you can see, although I handle all types of criminal cases such as speeding tickets, DWI and driving revoked cases, shoplifting and theft cases, drug offenses, assaults, robberies; I will not hesitate to take the most complicated and difficult case a lawyer can handle, a First- Degree Capital Murder case, and "put 12 jurors in the box” and try the case to verdict.

Great Lawyer!!
Mr. Causey is a great lawyer. After consulting with a few around the area, I found he was the best fit for me and my DUI case. He was able to tell me everything I should expect after just one consultation. Overall, he was able to give me peace that everything would be handled without me ever having to stress the details. Would recommend for anybody in need of a lawyer! Everything went smoothly and ended up better than I expected, thanks to Mr. Causey.

Highly recommend
I really needed help; I had never been in trouble. Mr. Causey not only cared for me as his client, but as a person. He was always professional, on-time, and courteous. He is also very good about preparing his clients for what to expect, what comes next, and how he can help. At my first consultation with Mr. Causey he had already done his research on my charge and determined the best defense that he thought would work. After that meeting my stress level was considerably reduced. He explained the legal process in a manner easily understood by someone who is not a lawyer and was not at all condescending. He gave me hope at a time when options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. He went above and beyond to help me get the outcome that was best for me. I am extremely grateful for his help and I would highly recommend Mr. Causey.

Wholeheartedly recommend this attorney!
Mr. Causey recently represented me on a traffic offense charge and did an outstanding job. From the beginning he was very honest, set fair expectations, was reasonable with costs and communicated in a timely and thorough manner. The outcome was an even better than expected result. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to him and how much I recommend his expertise. He is a true advocate!

Highly Recommend
At my first consultation with Mr. Causey he had already done his “homework” on my situation and determined the best defense approach. After that meeting my stress level was considerably reduced. He had the felony insurance fraud charge dismissed and expunged from my record without my having to attend court. He is confident and calm in his approach and his lengthy experience with the legal system is highly beneficial.

Excellent Service
I hired Attorney Causey to handle an FTA and traffic ticket. He was absolutely amazing! It didn't even take him a week to resolve both. The FTA was dropped along with the charges. Attorney Causey answered my emails promptly and provided excellent customer service. I highly recommend him and would use him in a second.

Handled everything within 24 hours
While trying to get my vehicle to pass inspection, I received a ticket for an expired tag. I had rectified the tag situation, and thought I was home free. I missed my court date! I did not realize I had a warrant for my arrest concerning my missed date. I was terrified! My phone call was answered immediately. Atty. Causey, Jr. took all of my information, and cleared everything up! I cannot recommend this attorney enough!

Best Decision I Ever Made
Mr. Causey is a wonderful attorney. I hit a rough patch in my life back in December 2017 and I really needed help. I had never been in trouble. Mr. Causey not only cared for me as his client, but as a person. He was always professional, on-time, and courteous. He is excellent with communicating with his clients in a timely manner. He is also wonderful about preparing his clients for what to expect, what comes next, and how he can help. I would highly recommend Mr. Causey. He truly knows that he's doing.

Speeding Ticket
I got a speeding ticket while passing through NC--I am not a resident of the state and the ticket would have required me to return for court, rather than resolve online. I found Bill's info online and called him; he was very clear, helpful, and friendly in the initial consultation and was able to resolve my ticket without requiring me to return to the state, and for much lower cost and effect to my driving record than I expected. I am incredibly pleased by the aid that Bill provided and would definitely recommend him to others who need to resolve traffic tickets in his area.

Excellent Attorney
I hired Attorney Causey, since I was arrested for a misdemeanor-larceny charge, which is bogus. I explained the entire situation in full, the arresting officer believes me to this day. Attorney Causey is always there for you, he answers your calls promptly, well versed in his field and very knowledgeable. He makes you feel at ease and explains things for you to understand I recommend him highly! I thank him for all he has done thus far.

Speeding Ticket
Mr. Causey is awesome! Got pulled over for the first time in my life going 59 in a 35 and he was able to get it reduced to a non moving violation, improper equipment. I was also charged with failing to pull over in a reasonable amount of time which he was able to get dismissed. Bill will fight for you and deliver the best outcome which for me were court costs and no points on my license!

Obtained a quick, favorable resolution of my case for a reasonable fee
Bill Causey, Jr. is a true professional, and exactly the kind of lawyer you want on your side. While traveling in North Carolina from out of state, I received a somewhat serious speeding ticket. The officer alleged that I was traveling 20 mph over the speed limit on the interstate, and charged me with misdemeanor speeding (G.S. 20-141(J1)) and reckless driving (G.S. 20-140(B)). I was given a court date. I consulted with several law firms in the Greensboro area before deciding to go with Bill. Bill stood out for a number of reasons: First, he personally answered the phone when I called him. Every other firm I called insisted that I speak with a paralegal or other gatekeeper rather than an attorney. Second, when I called, Bill immediately gave me his full attention and did my consultation on the spot. Most other firms insisted on calling me back and doing the consultation later. At least one firm never ended up calling me back! Third, Bill laid out specifically what I needed to do to deal with the charges, and what he would do to help me. The other firms I spoke with tended to be much less specific about how they would handle my case. Fourth, Bill offered the most competitive fee of any firm I spoke with. These factors led me to hire Bill. I am very glad to have done so. As an attorney myself, I had a lot of questions. Even though my case might have been fairly routine to Bill, it was not routine to me; I am not a criminal lawyer, I do not practice in North Carolina, and I had never been charged with anything more serious than an infraction. Bill was extremely patient with my questions and amazingly responsive. He was always quick to respond to my emails and text messages, even on nights and weekends. Bill laid out the steps I should take to help mitigate the offenses, and advised me each step of the way. When my court date came, Bill was able to get the reckless driving charge dismissed and the misdemeanor speeding charge reduced to a minor infraction. He let me know the outcome of the case as soon as he wrapped up in court. I wholeheartedly recommend Bill Causey Jr. to anyone facing legal problems in North Carolina.

Miracle worker
We hired Bill Causey after he came highly recommended by a friend. You will not find a more qualified and professional attorney. What sets Bill apart is that he makes himself available to any questions you may have and keeps you informed as to what to expect and how the case is proceeding. With Bill, he takes the time to get to know you and treats you like more than just a client. Bill was able to get us a settlement that far exceeded anything we had dared to hope for. We will always be indebted to Bill for ending our nightmare and letting us resume our lives. Thanks Bill !

Professional, Trustworthy and Prepared
When our family was seeking legal advising, we began asking around for recommendations. We repeated kept hearing the same name, Bill Causey. It was truly a blessing that we hired Mr. Causey to help us with our case. We have nothing but wonderful comments to say about Mr. Causey and the professional job he did representing us. He was very prepared and left no stone unturned while keeping us well informed throughout this entire procedure. The outcome of this case could have been a life altering impact for our family member. Mr. Causey was simply a phone call away at any time and frequently assured us he would do the very best he could. The outcome he provided for our case far exceeded our greatest expectation. If you are in search of an attorney who is caring, seeks to know you and all the details of your case, an example of Christian character, while being professional and thorough, then Mr. Bill Causey is the man for you. We cannot thank you enough for all your help, Mr. Causey!! Sincerely, Dawn K.

The absolute best!
I hired Bill Causey to handle my DWLR with the revocation for a previous DWI charge. I had a long history of driving offenses and was finally on verge of a hearing to reinstate before this charge. He was very clear in communicating what can be done. He was able to achieve the absolute best outcome and I received a prayer for judgement on my case leaving me still eligible for my upcoming hearing without me even needing to miss work for court. I was more than impressed with his work and communication during the process. He has a wonderful staff and will work hard for you! If you need a great lawyer he is the man to hire!

Excellent on all accounts
I hired Mr. Causey because I was faced with a number of misdemeanors in Greensboro. His legal assistant Candace was extremely courteous and informative. She was able to accurately estimate what the outcome would be, and in fact, the final resolution to my case was even better than what she had predicted. Bottom line: Mr. Causey was able to get all of my charges dismissed. Professional, courteous, understanding, and effective. Excellent.
