Chris did a great job!!!

He was very professional, educated in the charges I was up against and thorough with his investigation with my case. He got my DWI dismissed in a trial. I HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone with a serious case such as mine was.

AMAZING

The Powers law firm team, Chris, Bill and Melissa were amazing. They represented my daughter in a serious charge. This was a very detailed team ( follow their lead) and ultimately were able to get this dismissed. They were extremely Kind, responsive and most importantly extremely empathetic and h...elped us each step of the way with any questions and always made me feel comfortable and at some peace with what was happening and I am forever grateful for that in itself.. Thank you all again . Most importantly through this dark experience there is light as it helped my daughter get the help she needed for a past trauma she had experienced in her life .. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN

DMV Hearing

I lost my license permanently after a 3rd DUI in NC. I hired Carolina attorneys to represent me for my DMV hearing after a the 3 year waiting period required by the DMV. Chris Beddow was assigned to my case. His knowledge and expertise lead me through the long process of getting my license back. The ...DMV has numerous requirements that must be completed before they will even consider granting a hearing for possible driving privilege reinstatement and when they finally do grant an opportunity for a hearing there is no guarantee they will approve driving privileges. Without Chris's knowledge of how to maximize my chances of restoring my driving privileges I would of most likely been denied. Instead, I did everything he and the firm suggested to me and the DMV hearing officer restored my driver's license. This is a game changer for me and my family. I highly recommend Chris and Carolina Attorneys. Thank you Chris!
