Their office was great to work with. They were extremely professional and produced great results. They handled my case in a timely manner and at an affordable price. Brittany Starnes was great to work with as well. She kept me informed and guided me through the process. I hope I never need a lawyer again but if I do I will definitely seek their assistance again. Would highly recommend their services!

This guy is so good that he got my DUI and resisting arrest double-trouble case dropped despite an extremely high breathalyzer reading and the existence of a bodycam video of me legging it away from the police towards the safety of my house for a few seconds before being tackled. Robert DiDomenico isnothing short of a legal black belt, a true professional who can turn the dark power of bureaucracy against itself and allow you to escape unfair permanent consequences, all for a reasonable price. He is a wizard who works with legal databases in place of ancient scrolls. In court I could hear him behind the wall arguing with the prosecutor, obviously fired up about getting me the best result in my case, and it's that kind of dedication that ensured I actually did beat the charges. Of course, your results may vary based on the details of your own case, and he did tell me that it would be difficult and unlikely to get this kind of ideal result. If I remember correctly, what happened is that when they pulled me over they had shaky probable cause to actually get me out of the car and/or breathalyze me or whatever, and he threatened to take my case to trial on this basis. The prosecutor wanted to avoid this because it would make her look bad to not convict immediately with a plea deal, clogging the jury trial system with a case that's much less important than, for example, a murder or something legitimately horrible like that. I am no longer an (active) alcoholic and no longer drive drunk, and I thank Robert for my currently bright career prospects as an engineer, saved from the possibility of background checks coming up dirty.

As a woman emerging from an abusive relationship, my trust in others, especially men, was at an all-time low. Trevor Guyton exceeded my expectations as both an attorney and a person. From the beginning, he was intentional about earning my trust, and I found myself able to be completely transparent with him—not just about my criminal history, but about who I was as a whole. Trevor provided a safe, non-judgmental space and treated me as if I deserved nothing less than the best possible defense. His respect, compassion, and dedication were evident from start to finish.
Trevor made it his mission to ensure I got home to my children, but he didn’t stop there. He went above and beyond by putting protections in place to safeguard me from any future legal challenges that could threaten my freedom. His commitment to my case was unwavering. He made me feel like I was his top priority, and he demonstrated this not only by being incredibly responsive and visiting me with updates, but also by regularly communicating with my family. I never felt like just another case to him.
Despite being a young attorney, Trevor showed a level of skill, empathy, and dedication that far surpassed my expectations. I initially worried that his career ambitions might hold him back from pushing boundaries in court, but those fears were completely unfounded. Trevor fought for me with everything he had—he defended me not only with the law, but also with an understanding of my humanity and worth.
While securing my release was a priority, Trevor's foresight in protecting me from potential future legal vulnerabilities was truly remarkable. He made sure that I was not left vulnerable to any challenges that might arise down the road, ensuring my long-term safety and legal security. His attention to detail and deep sense of responsibility made me feel protected in every sense of the word.
Trevor Guyton at Marcilliat & Mills PLLC is not just an excellent attorney—he is a genuine, compassionate human being who takes his clients' well-being to heart. If you need legal representation, look no further. With Trevor by your side, you can rest assured that you are in the best possible hands.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Trevor Guyton from Marcillat & Mills, and I can confidently say that my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From our very first meeting, Mr.Guyton took the time to listen to my concerns and clearly explained the legal process I was facing.
Their expertise and professionalism were evident throughout the entire process. Mikalea Torres (Trevor Guyton's paralegal) provided prompt responses to all my questions and kept me informed at every stage of my case. What truly impressed me was their ability to simplify complex legal jargon, making everything easy to understand.
Thanks to Trevor Guyton's hard work and dedication, I achieved a favorable outcome in my case. I genuinely felt supported and valued as a client, which is rare to find. I highly recommend Marcilliat & Mills to anyone seeking knowledgeable and compassionate legal representation. Thank you for making a stressful situation much more manageable!

I recently hired A. Patrick Roberts as my lawyer, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of my case. He represented me in a domestic violence accusation, and thanks to his exceptional skills, my case was dismissed.
From our first meeting, Patrick impressed me with his thorough understanding of the law and his strategic approach to my case. He not only provided clear and practical legal advice but also employed smart strategies that were beyond my expectations. His attention to detail and dedication to my defense made all the difference.
If you're looking for a lawyer who truly cares about his clients and knows how to navigate complex legal situations, I highly recommend A. Patrick Roberts. He is an outstanding lawyer, and I am incredibly grateful for his support.

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr.Patrick Roberts, from the moment we connected via the telephone he demonstrated, confidence, support, and a great analytical mind, which provided my family with much-needed support during one of the most difficult periods in our lives.
Mr. Roberts, took the time to understand our situation, he ran through various scenarios on how he thought he could win our case, which he did!
What sets Mr. Roberts apart is his legal expertise, in-depth knowledge of the judicial procedure, and genuine compassion and commitment to you as a client.
He truly cares about his clients, he goes above and beyond to ensure your needs are met,
I am incredibly grateful for Mr. Roberts and highly recommend his service to anyone needing legal representation. Thank you for being you and doing the outstanding work you do.

As someone who does not know their way around the legal system, I am certainly glad that I hired Andy. Not only was he very responsive, but he was so kind and considerate of my situation. It was nice to have a lawyer who was so willing to help and assist me wherever possible - whether it be questionsregarding how the court system works/my specific case or even just checking in on me anytime he saw me in the courtroom for a separate matter.
If I could hire him for anything in the future, I definitely would. He knows the law and the possible defenses the other party may have and will absolutely fight for his clients to ensure the best outcome for them.

Attorney Benjamin Waldman provided exceptional legal counsel for a matter my family faced. He is an outstanding criminal defense attorney with extensive knowledge of the law and excellent negotiation skills. What truly sets him apart from others are his common sense, reliable insights, and strong interpersonal skills, which earn him the respect of clients, district attorneys, and judges alike.
I also appreciated that he never dismissed our concerns; instead, he was always willing to explore all options. Ben genuinely cared about our needs and worked diligently to achieve a favorable outcome. After witnessing his passion and dedication, I have recommended him to all my friends and family, and I will continue to refer Attorney Benjamin Waldman at King Law to anyone seeking legal advice or services. Thank you, Ben, for delivering outstanding results!

I called to schedule a consultation and the behavior was truly unprofessional and absolutely unacceptable. The party answering asked about the charge I was calling in reference to. I began attempting to explain there were originally more charges before explaining the charge remaining. The answering party cut me before I could answer and inquired when the person I was calling on behalf of was arrested. I stated what month I believe it was and attempted to explain there was a prior situation from another county that impacted my ability to decipher the exact month the party went to Vance County. The party started telling me this was information I needed before speaking with Mr. Baskerville. Any other firm would have scheduled the consult and politely explained what information I needed for the consultation instead the answering party displayed clear annoyance. The call was disconnected. (I believe on purpose.) I called back and he immediately started telling me once again I needed the answers to these questions before speaking with the attorney then goes on to say he is Mr. Baskerville. I tried again to give him the answers to the questions he’d asked. He began talking over me, telling me how irrelevant the little I had the chance to explain was to his original question. I politely began to try to explain the complexity of the situation. Once again Mr. Baskerville rudely cut me off. I began to become upset, but continued to remain polite attempting to keep my voice even, and once again tried to explain the situation where he was needed. He started speaking over me again and advised me he could not assist me because I seemingly was not answering his questions fast enough or in the manner he wanted. He could be rude, loud, speak over me, not give me a viable opportunity to answer his question before cutting me off with another question; and I was just supposed to sit there and allow it. The moment I became assertive he couldn’t assist me. Anyone considering working with this person I advise you to look elsewhere. This man is disrespectful and rude for absolutely no reason. I pray he hears the voicemail I left specifically for him. He has an attitude because he has to listen to details which is what an attorney needs most to do their job accurately. I’m trying to ensure he knew the totality of the situation and that made him upset. Needing him means people are in situations where they don’t need his nasty attitude and truly who wants an attorney that hates details. This man is truly in the incorrect field and anyone considering someone with this mindset representing them needs to run!

Mr. Edwards is a consummate professional with deep expertise in defense litigation. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case. Accused of false assault and disorderly conduct charges I needed a lawyer that would help me to reveal all of the facts and the truth. Mr. Edwards effectively cross-examined and asked the right questions to reach our desired outcome of an acquittal and dismissal of both charges. He is caring, compassionate and excellent to work with, I highly recommend him and his firm, Dummit Fraden.

If I could give 6 stars, I would!

I hired Mr Byers to represent me in a Civil Litigation where I was sued for payments on a vehicle were not being made by the person suing me. She wanted me to pay her back payments she never made plus some. Mr Byers was very confident he presented evidence that he dugged up. I didnt have to do nothing but sit there and watch him work. He asked her questions and she just stumbled over the lies she was trying to keep up with. He made her attorney look like a fool. Needless to say we won. She lost. I am a person that panics over everything but he made me feel confident and relaxed while he handled everything. I would definately hire Garland Byers Jr for any case I was involved in. He is wonderful.

I was referred to Jon Kurtz by my estate attorney. Jon enlisted partner Elise Whitley for perspective and backup. While no one enjoys a divorce, Jon and Elise made it understandable for me, a first timer. As we worked through the process, I gained confidence in their knowledge and capabilities. While researching divorce opinions, I found case law that Jon had argued (successfully). Good to have that experience in your corner. Not to mention an adjunct professor at Wake Forest and a Legal Elite.
We were stymied by foot-dragging opposing counsel, and the added burden of ending Covid, but Jon keep the momentum going, with steady reminders and requests for responses, getting commitments.
Ultimately we did get a settlement I felt was reasonable.
My take-away is that the Kurtz firm brings a sense of dignity and respect for the law, exceptional experience and knowledge, and the competency needed for successful family practice.
I have no hesitation recommending Jon and company, without question one will receive services of the highest order.

I contacted this number for help with a DMV hearing. I was told it was going to be 200$ to get started with pulling records and going over them. All pretty standard except how little I actually got for the 200$. Spent maybe an hour on the phone for 3 minutes of information. Then I was quoted 2k for the hearing help. I would look down the street.

The law office of Beyer & Lippert are a poor excuse as defense attorneys! Michell Lippert and David DiMaggio were hired for my niece's defense about a year and a half ago and they didn't do anything for their clients. They didn't communicate with their clients other than assume they were guilty and offer them plea deals. They didn't ever have a plan of defense, line up any witnesses on my niece's behalf, and they bullied them, therefore they had to be fired. I don't recommend the law office of Beyer and Lippert PLLC, Attorneys at Law in Burke County, Morganton, NC to anyone. Beware, they don't work for their clients, they work for the State!

What a Drug Crime Lawyer Can Do for You
A drug crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals accused of offenses involving controlled substances. These offenses can range from simple possession to more serious charges like distribution, trafficking, manufacturing, or possession with intent to distribute. Drug crimes can involve illegal substances such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, as well as the unauthorized use or distribution of prescription medications.
A drug crime lawyer has in-depth knowledge of federal and state drug laws and can navigate the complexities of the legal system to protect your rights. They can challenge the prosecution's evidence, negotiate plea deals, and represent you in court to potentially reduce charges, dismiss the case, or minimize penalties.
When Should I Hire a Drug Crime Lawyer?

- Complex Cases: Cases involving multiple charges, conspiracy, trafficking across state or national borders, or allegations of involvement with organized crime require specialized legal expertise.
