About W. Jay
Biography
I have been practicing law on the Outer Banks for 33 years. 27 of those years were with my father as my best friend and law partner.
I am married, have two fantastic children and one incredible granddaughter. I am very blessed.
I have a tremendously professional and driven staff. These folks tend to stay with me for the long-haul which is another of life's blessings.
I have been a private pilot for 35 years (SEL and instrument rated). I do not fly as often these days, but my wife and I are drum-fishing every available weekend through the summer. I am an avid outdoorsman in all seasons. If the sun is up, I am outside.
My practice brings me a great deal of joy, but I get particular pleasure from a difficult DWI or helping good folks out of sticky situations.
If I or my firm can ever be of assistance, do not hesitate to contact us.
Jay
Experienced and trusted. I love to win.

Best of the best. Understanding and empathetic.
I am from out of state and received multiple violations in Dare County. I was extremely upset as I'd already continued on to Florida and had been told I would need to appear in court.

Speeding Charge reduced to non moving
