Best lawyer in all of NC

I strongly recommend David Teddy and his assistant Angela to anyone and everyone. If you need a law firm with lawyers thats going to fight for you they are the only choice to make. I consider them the best in cleveland county maybe the best in all of NC. They will fight for you. They will keep you up...dated on all your court dates and anything going on with your case. They will put the time and energy into you that no other law firm would. They care about what happens to you and your family! After your court case is handled in court they will still be there for all of your questions and legal needs. I had a probation violation for absconding in 2018 my case went to court in 2021 they were able to fight for me to allow me to stay at home on house arrest with my disabled son instead of serving my sentence out in prison. I am truelly greatful for them! I still have 1 pending felony that hasn't went to court yet but I am extremely confident that they will fight for me just like they did for my probation violation. David Teddy and his assistant treat you like family they are there anytime you need them. Rain shine sleet or snow they will show up for you. Hire them you won't regret it. They went above and beyond for me they will do the same thing for you! From a very satisfied client Kristina Cavenaugh

A truly dedicated and comitted Attorney

After I found myself with a charge of DUI that could've ended my career if convicted, I called David Teddy for legal representation. David and his assistant Lorie were efficient in every detail of my case and provided genuine compassion and concern which reassured me that I was in good hands. Mr. Ted...dy devoted his knowledge and expertise to my case which resulted in a dismissal of my DUI charge. I will be forever grateful to Mr. Teddy for endless encouragement and dedication in getting a dismissal as well as saving my career. I highly recommend David Teddy for exceptional services of legal representation!

Best in North Carolina

My name is Mark. I retained the Legal Services of David Teddy in October of 2014. I had just been jailed on a Probation Violation and facing a new charge for the same offense. If convicted, I was going to be sentenced as a Level 6 Felon in Cleveland County Superior Court. I didn't think that the...re was much that could have been done to keep me from serving a lengthy Prison Sentence. At this point I was also facing Habitual Felon status. Mr. Teddy was highly recommended, with "Just Cause" I might add. In the Courtroom he mounted an Awesome Defense! With his legal wrangling, negotiations, and overall Courtroom Presence, he was able to secure me a Misdemeanor plea. Out of a possible 42 months, I was given a 120 day sentence that was suspended to 90 days and I was given credit for time already served. That being said, I am now serving a 65 day sentence, on weekends, which allows me the ability to pursue my Associates Degree in Electrical Systems Technology at Cleveland Community College. My Life today would be very much different if it were not for Mr. Teddy and his team. Paralegal Ramona Toney along with Legal Assistant Lorie Absher assisted with my case, offered their Prayers, and always had words of encouragement , Great Job Guys! I always knew who had My Back. It is my opinion that David Teddy is the Best Attorney in North Carolina!!

I highly recomend Mr. David Teddy for DWI cases

By far, Mr. Teddy is the best Lawyer I ever had! (Not that I get into trouble that much, lol) He was knowledgeable, courteous, professional and knows his way around the court room! I was arrested in Shelby, NC for a DWI and after all of his hard work by him and his staff, he got my case dismissed. I... highly recommend Mr. David Teddy

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
