Highly recommend this law firm to anyone! Devlin and Catherine were there for me and got me the money I deserved from my injury. They communicate well and kept me informed throughout the process. They took on a mega corporation and won! Results speak for themselves.

Working with Matthew was a seamless experience, and I would not hesitate to work with him again. He is efficient, organized, and, above all, empathetic. His calm and respectful demeanor fosters a reassuring environment. Matthew’s well-crafted defense ultimately led to my vindication and the restoration of my livelihood. I highly recommend Matthew to anyone in need of an attorney with expertise in military law or security clearance adjudication.

Matt did an amazing job for us and our son. He took an impossible situation and turned it into a second chance for our son. He was caring, down to earth, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond on many occasions. He understood the process and systems inside and out. We never felt alone through the process and we are so glad that God led us to Mr. Thomas.

Knowledge and level of effort that are worth worth 4x what he charges. The guy worked twice as hard as my last attorney that literally changed me a retainer 4x what Mr Castle charged me. I can't say enough good things about this group of professionals. I know some will read this glowing review and think it to be a shill or fake review, but I dont care. I wont give this review any less than Mr Castle gave me in court.
I consulted with several attorneys before choosing The Castle Law firm. Mr. Castle was the only one that was willing to do the extra work and go the extra mile to get all the charges before I turned myself in. So I knew what I was facing before hand, to properly be prepared. That set the tone for the kind of service I received through out the entire case. Because of his effort he got me bail so cheap I could pay the bond without even going to the atm, then he got me a really great deal from the ADA. But I was dead set on clearing my name so we went to trial. The staff was always helpful keeping me updated and were easy to deal with. When the trial started I was able to see why Castle is known as the best damn trial lawyer in 3 county's. He stayed cool under pressure when the pretrial motions started. All the while I'm losing faith in the justice system with every motion the judge gives the prosecution. And the jury selection didnt make it look any better. By the time the ADA was done presenting the first witness I felt beaten. But not Castle. He reminded me, in not so many words, that it's not the luck of the draw the matters it's the way you play your cards, that count.
Once the state rested their case, Mr Castle began to slowly present his facts. Strategically shining a light on the holes in their case. With every question he asked you started to see a whole new picture coming to light. It was not long after that, I felt the tide begin to turn in our favor. As the fact pattern developed you could see he was in total control of everyone's attention in that court room, it was like a general leading the army to battle. The closing argument brought the different pieces together the way a conductor brings together the instruments of an orchestra. He gave the jury a chance to see and hear past the smoke and mirrors presented by a prosecutor that seemed to care more about winning than he cared about truth... the only thing I remember after that is hearing the judge say "Not Guilty"

The Castle Law Firm defended me in Onslow County Family Court. Not only did we win our case, Paul Castle convinced the judge to order my ex wife to pay my legal fees. PUT the Castle Law Firm telephone number in your cellphone contacts list!

Absolutely fantastic! Super easy to work with and very reassuring. After speaking with her, I gave her a few documents from my insurance company. She left no questions or worries as I waited for my court date where she would appear for me. Nikol got my traffic ticket dismissed outright so I had no court costs or fines to pay. She kept me updated on what to expect and was prompt in letting me know the outcome of court. Without her I would have had to take a vacation day to appear in court and pay a sizeable fine while battling my insurance rates skyrocketing. Could not be happier and thankful for all her work.

Never having been in the situation of having a serious injury and still wanting/needing to both work and see a doctor, I was very baffled and frustrated by the workmans' compensation system. Mr. Peterman and his staff understood my concerns and supported me throughout the process. They took me seriously which I sincerely needed and appreciated.

We have had to call upon Vickie numerous times in order to fight the public school system to provide what is required by law for our two boys with learning disabilities. Vickie was driven, empathetic to our situation and persistent with the school staff and county attorney, so much so that the school board had to call an attorney from the NC State Board of Education. This attorney conceded that the county was egregiously non compliant and ruling in our favor. Our oldest son eventually received a full academic scholarship to college years later and we credit this success to Vickie for her steadfast determination! She is unbelievable.

Mr. Paramore did everything he could as an attorney for my case. Even after prior felony convictions, he got me a very good plea deal, and I wasn't convicted of any more felonies in Onslow county. He answered my collect calls and went above and beyond my expectations. I would very much recommend.

I was involved in a auto accident in 2021..The driver that I hit was at fault, but my insurance company and their insurance company refused to cover anything....I was told about the law offices of John Warlic that handle auto accidents....I called the office and I was later contacted by Davidson Meyers attorney at law ....It was a long and arduous journey, but thanks to Mr Meyers he was able to help me win the battle...I can't thank him enough because if it had not been for him I would have been at a loss.....

I do not recommend this law firm if you are involved with DSS and want a chance of getting your kids back here they go and have a process and they go through the process never changing the process always the same results in order to be a good attorney you must be willing to change The process challenged the judge object often clarify every detail anytime Dss presents a new report or new allegations or allegations. You’re at court for my appeal went south because they did not object enough and often enough clarify and clear the air with opinions and hearsay. There is so much triple hearsay in my case it’s unbelievable, I often do not get response back immediately. I’m currently waiting two weeks that I requested my attorney to call me. I won’t point any names but it is this firm challenge from here on out. Do you want to fight for me and my kids? that’s not what happened so far Dss has run this thing , and nothing has been done this time to change the process to again. I have not had great success with this law firm lotta disappointments a lot of letdowns. This is my personal experience speaking from the heart. There is no privacy in Dss court. Everyone hears your case that’s in the court room. These are children. People should never hear other peoples issues. It should be case case a lot of these laws and Dss court along with hearsay double hearsay triple hearsay should all be taken off the table not any other criminal court or superior court or any court, other than Dss allows, hearsay of any kind , they will condemn me for hearsay and hearsay. That’s all I have to say strongly search for an attorney that will stand by you fight for you and give it there all.

I can’t recommend Attorney Granger Benson enough for helping me with my divorce. He was there every step of the way. He continually went above and beyond to put my mind at ease throughout the whole process. It was new territory for me but with his help and knowledge he was able to help me protect my assets and get my case closed so I could have peace which is priceless! So if you want an amazing Attorney look no further.

I couldn’t be happier with the service and respect I received from Larry. I had no idea how to handle the situation I was in and Larry provided the highest quality of support and service. He fought to make sure I was represented to the highest degree and that the outcome was fair. Overall if you are looking for a family Lawyer in the Onslow area Larry is the best choice!

Highly recommend Attorney Sholar for your real estate needs!
I am a repeat buyer of rentals/investment properties. I have used his services for more than 1 year.
His staff have always been professional, the attorney has always been punctual, and I can tell he was prepared for the closings. Our deeds were normally recorded same day.

Well....I wish I had the experience to rate it 5 stars!! I closed on a property late on Thursday as the seller. As anyone would expect, Friday came around with the expectation that my funds were going to be wired the following day (Friday). It was noon (Friday) and haven't seen anything so I called and was told that it was wired already by an employee and should get it later in the day. Later that day at 5pm, still nothing. To make shorten this story a bit, the lawyer was not able to send me the wire on Friday and didn't execute until Monday! I don't know about you or any other seller, but when we close on a house we expect the money same day or the NEXT! If the lawyer himself is the only that can send money in his office , it should be his responsibility to call his client and inform him of any delays. Don't ever assume that your client is not in need of the funds!!!

Ms Johnson did everything I asked her to do and kept my ego in check. She tenaciously fought for me and did not allow me to be my worst enemy. Her and I disagreed, but in the end she explained and I understood why she did the things she did and it worked perfectly. I hope I never need an attorney ever again, but if you’re in the Jacksonville NC area and need some civil service or litigation, I feel like she’s the fighter you want standing in your corner. I’d give her ten stars if I could.

Mr. Silva took my concerns about a traffic citation seriously, understood the circumstances, and had it reduced to an equipment violation. I cannot express how pleased I am with the responsiveness and service that was provided me. I know in the grand scheme of things my case was extremely minor BUT it was a MAJOR CASE to ME. I highly recommend Mr. Silva and all of the staff at SKA Lawyers – Great service at a reasonable cost.

Mr. Bolton did a more than fantastic job on my case! I had a hefty ticket that ended up causing my license to get suspended because of a failure to appear and I was out of state, and not only did he make it so I did not have to go all the way to the state to handle the ticket, he managed to get the case completely dismissed!! While I can’t specifically speak to HOW he managed to get this case completely dismissed, I don’t think that part matters to be honest it’s gone, and it’s all thanks to him. He also is working to refund my court cost which I paid in advance for the ticket that didn’t need to be used since the case got dismissed. He made the process incredibly smooth and simple, I’d recommend him to anyone handling this type of situation! He outperformed my expectations in every single way! Incredibly satisfied!

Competency, creativeness and flexibility. Responsiveness. Utterly reliable.
Mr Castle and Mr Wolf took on an intense case with no notice for a family member of mine. By the time I arrived in town, they had an action plan in place and had already made the appropriate contacts. Planning took care of the immediate actions needed and set up a framework for the larger picture.
During the following week, with the legal environment changing sometimes hourly, they remained in full control and were unflappable. Their knowledge of involved staff and the system itself was invaluable. There are not enough adjectives to describe the forcefulness and competence of this team.
I recommend this team and office without reservation.

Mr. Avery represented my (young adult) son recently, and I would give a 0 star if possible. My son received 0% counseling for his offence after paying thousands of dollars in fees. Mr. Avery drug his case out nearly 3 years. During this time my son would request zoom meetings to receive counseling for his offense and to ask questions and Mr. Avery would leave him sitting on the phone waiting, and was almost ALWAYS a no show. Mr. Avery NEVER returned phone calls or emails. Between myself and my son we drove 9 hours to appear in court after being told his case would finally be heard, Mr. Avery arrived hours late, continued his case (again) and told my son and myself "if you pay more money I can help you" in front of the entire courtroom. When his case was finally heard, Mr. Avery poorly represented him. I honestly think his case would have had a better outcome if he had represented himself. Afterwards, he received his plea in the mail and has not been able to receive any kind of explanation even weeks later. If you want to pay someone to waste your time and money Mr. Avery is the one for you.

Mr. Avery is an attorney you can count on. The clerical staff are polite and thorough. Honestly, he will take the time and listen to your situation, your concerns, and offer feedback that explores every scenario. An attorney cannot represent you to the best of their ability, without us as clients, putting them in the best possible situation to succeed. Trevor makes sure that everyone knows their roles. If your in a bad situation, the best decision you can make is to consult with Mr.Avery!

I received a speeding ticket for going 71 in a 55, totally my fault for zoning out on the infamous 17. I heard about popkin law firm and I reached out to have the ticket reduced. My ticket was issued in May and my appearance was in August. Well, June 5, I received a letter from the law firm stating the speeding charge was reduced to an improper equipment charge. For $360 I can’t complain at all. I didn’t have to go to court, my ticket was reduced and I’m not getting points on my insurance.
This firm is extremely professional and quick with results.

Lee Britt was appointed as my court appointed attorney on January 11, 2022. Unfortunately he wasn't able to represent me due to a conflict of interest. He withdrew from my case on February 3, 2022. I was never able to meet with him or talk him at all but he was still was willing to do 6 hours of labor for me even though it was a conflict of interest. A judgment was entered against me on May 19, 2022 for the 6 hours of labor performed by Lee Britt. Unfortunately I was never given a copy of the judgment and can't obtain a copy of the judgment from the courthouse. Today Lee Britt assured me that it was easy to get a copy of the judgment. I only give him 4 stars instead of 5 because it has been 13 months since the judgment was entered and I still don't have a copy of that judgment. Hopefully, Lee Britt can get a copy of this document for me.

There’s many things wrong with my current discovery. I learn things from any other source’s (family friend that studied NC law) i share it with him it’s always wrong. I’ve had two other lawyers look at my discovery and say it’s positively fightable and one turned me away all together lol. Or more or less he’ll hint if I actually paid him I wouldn’t be used as a pawn and sent back to prison for a drug I’ve never had. He says “Money talks” lmao I’m being offered 35-51 months as the first plea to take a trafficking LSD charge and a selling meth charge. I’ve never seen 100 tabs alone together. I used meth and bought as much as I could afford from the CRI. so how am I going to be charged for that? Lee Britt is a good lawyer according to my family in family court. While I was incarcerated he wouldn’t print me anything to study in law and other lawyers such as Paul castle, Nathan sweets, Matt Silva, etc are making sure their clients, retained or appointed, had paper copies to sit, study, and learn in their cells. I haven’t been indicted on the trafficking charges and he said that’s the only deal he’ll get that I should pay a lawyer if I want better results. I’ve missed my daughters birth, and first birthday I don’t want to miss anymore of her precious life unless it’s for something I actually did. The officers arrest statement is completely wrong and the camera at my place of arrest would show and then JPD would get scrutinized regardless because of how they did me. Of course Mr. Britt hasn’t asked for that lol. Zero, nada, No drugs where found on me, near me, in my car, or in my home. DO NOT HIRE MR. BRITT for criminal court. I’m trying to figure out how to get him to step down from my case. He doesn’t return phone calls. He’s yet to let me, the defendant see some alleged tape they’ve got. He’s neglectful. I’m writing to the Bar of Associated again on him.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
