About Blake

Learn Blake’s areas of practice.

I am a North Carolina native who was born in Marion, but grew up in Rutherfordton.  While I was truly blessed to be raised in a loving, caring, and stable home, I realized at a young age that not everyone had that opportunity and always had a heart to help my friends who were hurting.  Upon graduating high school, I began working with my father who has a real estate office in Bat Cave, North Carolina, while at the same time, attending Gardner-Webb University.

I was seeking what direction to go with my career.  At the time, the most reasonable thing appeared to be to join my father in his real estate practice. But putting aside the financial aspect and given my passion to help people, I wanted to do something that would allow me to take that passion to a whole other level. That's when I found the practice of law.

Upon graduating from GWU with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting, I was accepted to Elon Law School and was a recipient of a Presidential Scholarship.  After completing my first year of law school at Elon, I transferred to Charlotte School of Law to be closer to home and my wife.

As an attorney, I genuinely care about each individual client.  My first and foremost goal is to help every client achieve the best possible outcome in their case and I strive to make a difference in their lives.  I practice in the areas of personal injury, criminal defense, family law, civil litigation, and estate planning.

While attending law school, I acquired significant legal experience in multiple practice areas by interning with both the law firm of Tomblin, Farmer and Morris, PLLC and the legal department of Family Dollar.  In addition, I defended clients in criminal cases through Charlotte School of Law's Criminal Justice Clinic and provided legal services to individuals who were starting businesses through the school's Entrepreneurship Clinic. 

When I'm not practicing law, I love being involved in the community, participating in the local prison ministry and community service opportunities.  I am very grateful to have a wonderful wife, Daniella, and we were blessed with our first child, Coleman Blake Caulder, in January 2015.

Simply The Best!
I was in a very bad situation which could have literally ended my career and many valued relationships. After reviewing several attorneys, I asked Mr. Caulder to take my case. I was very nervous and frightened of the outcome, but his assurance set me at ease through the whole process. I wouldn't have gotten a better result with another attorney, this I know! His communication is impeccable, his patience is insurmountable, and his knowledge exceeds his years. I'm grateful that he chose to take my case. I had two, potential, severe felonies brought down to one misdemeanor as a first time offender.

Honest and Trustworthy
I have had the opportunity to work with Blake Caulder in several occasions. Recently, Blake helped me get some legal issues straightened out. It was amazing the job that Caulder & Valentine Law Firm performed. I did not have to worry about anything. They were quick, efficient and did a great job in following up with me in the case. In addition, it was unquestionable the integrity and honesty of Blake and his team mates at the Law Firm. I would definitely recommend him as an attorney for anyone in need of legal counseling and assistance.

Amazed
I've never had anything on my criminal record, I've never had to deal with the justice system at all. From the first time I talked to Mr. Caulder on the phone I felt a weight lift off my shoulder. He gave me great advice on how I should move forward with my case. I was worried about not being able to see my family but he reassured me that everything will work out and after my first appearance I started to see the light. With me being an individual that's never had a criminal record, I'm proud to say hes my lawyer. I recommend everyone to give him a try because he is on your side! He will make sure that justice is served and that it is fair.

Blake Caulder
I asked Blake how to handle a speeding ticket that I thought would probably cost me my license. He was very calm, even though I wasn't, and gave me step by step directions what to do. I was really concerned about how all this would affect me since the trooper told me this would be a mandatory court appearance. Blake followed up with me every step of the way, and it was all taken care of without a court appearance and no effect on my insurance. He made it so simple and had all the right information. The lawyers at Caulder & Valentine are fabulous, so polite, respectful, and helpful plus incredibly knowledgeable of the law. I would never hesitate to use them for legal issues.

True professionalism and client oriented.
This is to say thank you so much for what you did for me in my case. The professionalism and integrity was way beyond my expectation. I went into this case anxious and unable to comprehend the results. Blake kept me informed from the very beginning to the last minute. He went over and beyond to insure me that everything will work out fine and it did to meet my needs! Blake was compassionate and caring all the way through and always guided me and kept in touch with me to the end in a way that I was actually at ease on the stand, and that is an accomplishment. I highly recommend this firm and will definitely use them again.

very great attorney
I was currently charged with 5 bogus charges from a neighbor. Mr. Caulder was reappointed to my case. Mr.caulder reviewed my case spent quality time with me, subpoena witnesses on my behalf, he brought my case to DA and all charges were dismissed. Mr.caulder is very good at what he does. He treats his clients with the upmost respect and backs his clients all the way. Very good attorney!!!
