Repeat Use: DUI and others

I have used Mr. Filliben on 3 occasions. In each case, he has delivered an outstanding service that has led to the best possible expected outcomes. His knowledge of the law and his pragmatic approach and advise are invaluable. Most importantly, in the law profession, he is clearly a lawyer with ...outstanding ethics who utilizes his practice to serve his clients' best interests. I would highly recommend for a variety of services from DUI charges to help with business dealings.

You did a fantastic job, Thank You!

My experience with him was fantastic, attorney Jamie Filliben accepted my case a day before my court hearing and he was able to dismiss a restraining order - domestic violence case which is based on false allegations. He exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended!

Tremendous Lawyer

I was charged with AWS drugs - A misdemeanor charge stemming from a false accusation and I got myself a speeding ticket in a work zone that was going to get me outrageous points. I had gotten another lawyer who wasn’t fighting for me as he managed to get me 3 points on a deal when I hadn’t had but on...e dropped traffic violation in 2 years . That’s when I researched and found SeiferFlatow. I met Jamie and explained the circumstances and he was able to club together both the cases for an reasonable charge. He’s a very straight forward professional lawyer who will relate with you on a human level. He doesn’t pass any judgements and he’s got great tact in dealing with what he’s being handed to him (your case). He put in more time in one week on my case than my previous lawyer had in 3 months. If you have an issue be confident that Jamie won’t waste your time. He’ll give you the best representation possible and won’t charge you unfairly.

All charges dropped

I'm currently in a doctorate level program and any criminal charges could have vastly messed up my future and ability to pay off already acquired debt. I was accused of a felony and a misdemeanor. However, Jamie was able to help get the state to drop both charges. He was professional, supportive, ...and honest throughout the process. He works long hours for his clients. He called me past 9 PM on the evening I was turning myself in just to make sure we both understood the plan he laid out. He did not make over the top claims initially, but once the facts were on my side he made sure the charges would not follow me. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer. I hope and pray I never need to hire an attorney again, but I would be very comfortable with Jamie in my corner.

"Whenever a member of our public hires a lawyer, the determining factor on who to choose should be the attorney's trial skills.

"Mr. Filliben’s knowledge of the law and science of DWI, makes him one of the best DWI attorney’s in North Carolina. And his record proves it. I have had the benefit of mentoring under Jamie for several months, I am confident that no one grasps the complexities of DWI law better than Jamie. It is the combination of Jamie’s knowledge, intensity, and preparation that make him such an outstanding attorney. Jamie takes the time to know the facts of a client’s case better than anyone, explaining every likely outcome to the client in an effective and efficient manner. I strongly recommend Jamie Filliben."
