If you’re facing allegations of criminal charges in Wake County, we want you to understand the process, how courts work, and the best-case and worst-case scenarios.  Even with all the information out there online, and maybe because of how overwhelming that can be, we strongly recommend you talk to an experienced lawyer after being arrested.

Facing criminal charges can be a stressful, worrisome time.  In some measure, the anxiety you may be experiencing (especially if someone you love has been arrested) is likely related to not knowing what to expect.  You may have questions and that’s entirely normal.  Our Raleigh defense lawyers are available to address inquiries such as:
