This is one Attorney that people should steer away from. He also serves as a Public Defender for Mecklenburg County which consumes most of his time as he is in court every day all day in most cases. This means less time for his retained clients that have actually paid him. Expect your case to be drag...ged along and be billed for everything. From what I have been able to also find most of his public defender clients that have gone to trial have all been sentenced to prison for an extensive time. The North Carolina Bar has recently had to Reprimand him on multiple ethical and professional standards violations. If the Attorney feels he does not owe an explanation to the State Bar that regulates his ability to practice Law, then what outcome can you expect in your case. This is all public records on the state Bar website: https://portal.ncbar.gov/verification/search.aspx search bar ID: 40481 and all the public records for his discipline will populate after you click his name.
