I highly recommended Matthew Davenport and his office for criminal defense.
I doubt you will find a better Lawyer or office to deal with than with the Davenport office. Professional, courteous and genuinely works towards getting the best possible outcome for your case. I was very worried about my case in the beginning, but he assured me that he would work to make the entire...

Matthew Davenport review for two cases

Matt Davenport is the way to go!

He guided me in all the right directions in preparing myself to come before the judge. My parents knew right away that th...

"Matt Davenport excels in the practice of criminal law. He is highly respected throughout the state and beyond. An excellent advocate who works hard for every client."
"I have had the pleasure of teaching with Mr. Davenport many continuing education classes to DWI attorneys around the State. I continue to learn from Matt each time we teach together. Matt is not only a great attorney, but a great litigator and teacher. I look forward to our next seminar together."

Whether he helps you negotiate a plea or you decide to take your case to trial, you can know you have one of the best with Matt as your attorney."

Court of Appeals reversed, ruling that a driver who crosses painted lines at an intersection has violated a "traffic control device" and this constitutes reasonable suspicion to justify a stop.
Statute upheld by N.C. Court of Appeals as constitutional, but with explanation that finder of fact (judge or jury) can depart from the state's test restuls. U.S. Supreme Court denied cert.
