Highly Recommended

When our family needed legal help Chris Fialko and Taylor Goodnight of Fialko Law were counselors in the truest sense of the word.. They helped us navigate the legal system with knowledge and experience, kept us up to date on any changes in our case and advised us as to what they felt were the best ...options for us and these things made them remarkable lawyers. But the fact that they were there for moral and emotional support, more than once, makes then remarkable people. I would recommend them to anyone.

Simply..........THE BEST!

If you are facing ANY criminal proceedings you MUST hire Chris Fialko. This guy is honest and smart. He is a fair man. 99% of attorneys are douche bag, money hungry, get over artists. Not this guy! He earned every penny and was worth more than he asked for. He's the type of dude to chasrge youa f...lat rate and even if he has to travel 4 or 5 times in the 2 to 3 years your case takes to fight he wont charge you more and inflate his travels. He doesnt even ask for money. Its all in one pricing with him. Not to mention he obsesses over every little detail in each motion he puts out. Thats the quality you need when dealing with a high stressful situation like facing prison time. He is a negotiator and will never claim to get you off scott free. Thats why Fialko will always be my attorney. Hopefully i wont need him again. lol

Confidence and Peace of Mind knowing you are represented by the Best. Mr. Fialko is well respected and client focused.

Mr. Fialko is not your typical attorney. This man came to visit me in jail without me having even paying him yet. Throughout the whole process and post sentencing he was extremely thorough in everything he did. His professionalism and reputation are the most important things to him. When it came down... to my sentencing the judge listened to his argument because he knows Mr. Fialko speaks the truth. Mr. Fialko made it a point to never get my hopes up and set my expectations so that when my judgement came down I was so relieved and gracious. His entire staff treated me with dignity and respect, making me feel like a human being at the lowest point of my life. Mr. Fialko and his team responded to my needs promptly and made sure I was prepared for every next step. Myself and my husband have been represented in previous criminal cases by quite a few brilliant lawyers in the past. My experience with Mr. Fialko was unique because he is not only a genius but he never fills you with false hope. His attention to detail and experience makes him by far the absolute best criminal attorney in Charlotte NC. I truly believe that God put him in my life for a reason. Mr. Fialko's up most concerns are getting his clients the best outcome while doing everything by the books. Mr. Fialko not only dramatically minimized my incarceration time, but he also negotiated a deal in my best financial interest in the asset forfeiture portion of my case. I can not thank this man enough for everything he has done for me.
