From the earliest stages of your case, we focus on protecting your rights and building a defense designed to address your specific circumstances.
Types of Criminal Cases We Handle
Our legal team is experienced in a wide range of criminal matters, including:
- Traffic Offenses – speeding tickets, reckless driving, and license suspension issues
- Driving While Impaired (DWI) – defending against alcohol- and drug-related driving charges
- Drug Crimes – possession, distribution, and related offenses
- Theft and Property Crimes – shoplifting, burglary, larceny, and embezzlement
- Violent Crimes – assault, robbery, and homicide charges

By taking the time to investigate every angle, we can identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, challenge questionable evidence, and highlight factors that may lead to a more favorable resolution.
Our Step-by-Step Defense Process
We believe an informed client is an empowered client. When you choose to work with us, we guide you through each stage of the process:
Initial Consultation
We discuss your situation in detail and explain your legal options.
Case Investigation
We review police reports, witness statements, and any physical or digital evidence.
Strategic Planning
We develop a defense tailored to your goals and the specific facts of your case.
Pre-Trial Preparation
We file motions to challenge evidence, suppress statements, or dismiss charges where possible.

Protect Your Rights from the Start
If you’ve been arrested, charged, or are under investigation, it is important not to speak to law enforcement without legal counsel present. Anything you say can be used against you and may limit your defense options.
The earlier you contact us, the more effectively we can protect your rights and develop a defense that serves your best interests. Our Fayetteville traffic & criminal defense attorneys are here to listen, to advise, and to stand up for you every step of the way.
