Relationship: Worked together on matter
Dhamian Blue is a top tier federal criminal defense attorney. If one of my loved ones were ever in trouble in N.C., Dhamian would be the first lawyer I would call. I have known Dhamian for more than 20 years. He is incredibly intelligent, yet personable and compassionate. He will work his heart out for your case. If you or a loved one are in trouble in N.C. and you are considering hiring anyone but Dhamian, you should reconsider.
