Russell D. Babb

I hired Mr. Babb to represent me after being charged with DWI. This was one of the most trying experiences of my life, and I fully expected to be found guilty - and I am confident that would have been the case had I retained any attorney other than Russell. Russell was very easy to work with and di...d an outstanding job of explaining the legal process to me, which I had absolutely no experience with previously. Due to my work schedule, many of our conversations and meetings were after hours, which Russell always accommodated happily. Russell fought hard for me and realized that crucial evidence needed to convict me had been destroyed by the police. He filed a motion with the court and got my case dismissed without the need for a trial. Russell is an excellent criminal defense attorney. I was very satisfied with his work and I highly recommend him.

I was charged with misdemeanor larceny one night last summer even though I had been set up by a couple of strangers. I tried to explain the facts to the Raleigh Police but they did not believe me. I did not know where to turn, so I hired Russell Babb to represent me. Russell understood right awa...y that the charge was bogus and he got the charge dismissed before I ever had to go to court. His swift work and dedication saved me lots of stress and heartache. I’m forever grateful to Russell and would recommend his services to anyone looking for a defense lawyer.

I previously hired Russell Babb to represent me on for my second DWI charge back in late 2015. Because I'd already had a prior, would've been sentenced to at LEAST 30 days jail time. Mr. Babb helped me avoid all jail time and got me a great result in court. I would recommend him to anyone who needs ...a great criminal defense attorney.

I was charged with domestic assault against a female, my ex-wife who was leaving the state with her new husband and my two kids which was against our separation agreement. She claimed when I was informed of this news, I 'touched' her arm, as per the police report she filed. This never happened and th...ere was no physical evidence. The only 'proof' would be her testimony which Mr. Babb said in the state of North Carolina, is sufficient for conviction. His recommendation was, therefore, to plead guilty to avoid a trial. I wish I had gotten a second opinion because other attorneys said it was not that clear cut. Although charged, due to my first and only offense of any kind, the circumstances and the complete lack of any injury, the charge was expunged a year later. Nevertheless, it set the stage in motion and more than five years later, I have no contact of any kind with the children because the court did not require a new visitation agreement. In part, I blame an overly zealous DA and judge who push for convictions of everyone, regardless of the facts and especially men in domestic assault cases. This gives a wonderful opportunity for blackmail to women and is a very well known leverage point. I am torn between thinking Mr. Babb did the most expedient thing, knowing the bias of the system, to avoid jail time for me and a destruction of my career and earnings potential at the very least. However, I wish I had been told about the 'no contest' pleading option because I had to take a series of humiliating parenting and anger management classes with ex-cons. Considering my ex's new found wealth, philosophy and state of mind and considering how forceful Mr. Babb was in strongly urging me to plead guilty, I will always wonder if he was not compromised. A half million dollars could easily have been tossed his way from the other side and few, even an attorney, could pass that up.
