About J. Pressly
Biography
I grew up in Statesville, NC, attended UNC-Chapel Hill and then, because I knew that I wanted to return to Statesville to practice law, I spent three years in Los Angles, CA while attending Pepperdine University School of Law. I believe this experience broadened my horizons.
I have practiced law in Statesville since 1983. I have helped thousands of people with traffic and criminal offenses, including DWI's. I represent people injured in auto accidents and at work against big insurance companies as well.
While I do not handle contested domestic cases, I do handle uncontested divorces. I also handle wills and estate matters and basic incorporation work.
I am married to April E. Mattox and I have three children, Marett, Taylor and Davidson Pressly. My athletic interests through the years included high school football (Go Greyhounds!!), bicycle racing and ice hockey. Currently, I enjoy resistance training, yoga and I am an avid golfer.

Mr. Mattox welcomed me into the office with no waiting, was open early in the morning so I could come by to see him. Cleared my traffic ticket the next day for less than the surrounding attorneys.

Traffic Ticket Charge
Pressly Mattox was excellent in communication and effective in dropping a traffic charge for me this summer/fall. He was easy to contact, followed through in a timely manner, friendly, and effective. I would not hesitate to use him again in the future.
