About Grayson

For Passionate & Experienced Criminal Defense Call Attorney Grayson H. Cheek Today 910-210-0797!

I grew up in coastal Brunswick County, just over the river from Wilmington, where I currently live with my wife and two children. Having been a part of this community for most of my life, I feel strongly about finding solutions that work for the good of everyone. Every single day I help clients with what seems to be the biggest or scariest event in their lives. I have had the good fortune of walking with old friends in some of their darkest times and being able to help them navigate through the courts. I find my work rewarding and I hope you will see the same in my representation.

Grayson Cheek did an outstanding job on my case. He quickly met with me and instilled confidence that he would take great care of me. He kept me posted each step of the way and he certainly worked to get the best possible outcome for me. I couldn’t have been more delighted with the results and justice was truly served in my case thanks to Grayson and his firm’s great work. He is very knowledgeable and well connected. I would recommend Grayson to anyone needing an attorney in his field of expertise. Thank you Grayson!

Thank you Grayson!

Grayson Cheek made my legal matter go away. After I was falsely charged with a domestic protective order and had to appear before the Judge, Grayson was able to get it dismissed. During the process he remained confident and assured me everything would be fine which helped calm my fears. I am truly blessed for having Grayson by my side and would encourage everyone to do the same.

Grayson is by far one of the most educated lawyers in the Brunswick County/Wilmington/Myrtle Beach area. I was exceptionally pleased with the outcome of my case. Because of Grayson, I have a second chance at life. I am eternally greatful for him. I recommend Grayson for his professionalism and also his kind and understanding heart. He has a passion for what he does that shines through him. Grayson is a wonderful person and I am thankful to have found him, more than he will ever know! I hope I never have to use him again but if I'm ever in a pickle, he will be my first and only call! Thank you Grayson!

Bretts review

Grayson cheek was a person who played a pivotal role in my life. In a time where an when I couldn't get a grip on an addiction or the things I was doing to support that addiction. Which meant I had to do things that put him in my life once again. He was actually a highschool soccer teammate. The Captain of the team actually!!! But anyway he was able to get me into a year long program. An even before that on other cases was so awesome an gave me chance after chance. Probation after probation. An I kept messing up what he was able to make happen. Which was unheard of in some cases. Because if my record. Just is how good he is. But he got me in the year long program. He stuck with me. Kept telling me he knew I was stronger than what I was doing. He helped find this place. An even stayed in touch after I was there. To check up on me. But since that day. And the opportunity Grayson gave me. My life has turned over a new leaf. My life is so much better now because of the JOB Grayson did for me. An the hard work I put in. Wanna say thanks again Gray!!! Very appreciative of you and your awesome staff. An your life long friendship. An also he has helped my brother in so many ways as well.

Excellent defense work

Posted by

I had a relatively minor motor vehicle accident when I hit another vehicle from behind. However, this could have resulted in 3 points at least on my driving record but Mr.Cheek was able to get the charges completely dismissed! Now I might also be able to approach my insurance company and perhaps get a reduction in my premiums which basically doubled after this accident. Even if that doesn't happen, my driving record stays clean and that was a tremendous relief and great outcome. I would strongly advise anyone who has a vehicular related problem to consult with Mr. Cheek.

Speeding Ticket

Posted by

After contacting and hiring Mr. Cheek to take care of my speeding ticket in a school zone, everything was simple and a smooth process for me. As a young adult, I was confused about the process and did not want points going towards my license. Mr. Cheek handled everything with expertise and kept me updated with the process. I highly recommend him for future incidents.

Grayson is an awesome attorney. I met him about 8 years ago when we faced off in a Superior Court Trial. He won that trial and did it with a true aura of professionalism. He has recently started his own practice and I recommend his services. If he cannot get the job done, no one can!

I have known Grayson for many years. He is a dear friend and a respected colleague. I have referred many clients to Grayson over the years and he always does an outstanding job. Grayson travels the State and wherever he goes, the other side better be prepared, because Grayson will certainly be ready to protect his client's constitutional rights. When it comes to defending people accused of crimes, Grayson is one of the very best lawyers in the State. If you want fearless and experienced representation in the courtroom, Grayson is your guy.

Andrew Snow, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 6, 2013

Attorney Grayson Cheek is well-respected in the community, in part due to his consistent professionalism and charming demeanor. Coupling these qualities with his skills and experience, any individual in need of criminal defense should consider Grayson to represent their legal interests.

Grayson is one of the better attorneys in our areas. All of the cases I have a conflict with or where my client has a referral that I may not represent an individual, I refer to Grayson. Do not think twice in choosing him as your attorney!

I endorse Grayson. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community.
