What we handle

The cases we take most, and take to trial.

Everything else we handle

All practice areas

Time matters

Some deadlines start the day you are charged or served.

Waiting can cost you choices. These are the clocks we see most often.

30days

Sued in North Carolina? An answer to a civil complaint is generally due 30 days after you are served (N.C. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(1)).

15days

Notified by DSS that your name may go on the Responsible Individuals List? You generally have 15 days after you receive the notice to ask a court to review it (N.C.G.S. 7B-323(a)).

Day 1DWI

Charged with DWI? License consequences can begin at the arrest itself, before your first court date. The early days matter.

Court in the next two business days? Call now and say so.

General information, not legal advice. Your deadline depends on your papers; bring them and we will read them with you.

What happens when you call

Three steps, and a lawyer by the third.

  1. We listen.

    Someone from our office takes your name, what happened, the county, and your court date. If someone is in custody, tell us first.

  2. We check for conflicts.

    Before any consultation, we confirm we can take your case, so you never share your story with the wrong firm.

  3. You talk with a lawyer.

    A 30-minute consultation by Zoom or at 826 N. Elm Street. You get the hard truth, and we explain our fee in writing before you hire us.

Charged with a DWI in Greensboro?

Attorney Micah E. Huggins explains what happens after a DWI charge in Greensboro. General information, not legal advice.

DWI defense

A DWI case is built on tests. We learn how those tests work.

National College for DUI Defense, Inc.

Member. Featured in January 2024 as its Member in the Spotlight.

The National College for DUI Defense is a national organization of lawyers who defend people charged with impaired driving. Membership is not a certification, and it does not promise any result. It means steady study of how DWI cases are made, so we can ask better questions about yours.

Some DWI consequences start before your first court date. If you or someone you love was charged, call us now.

  • The stop.Why the officer pulled you over, what the video shows, and whether the reason holds up under North Carolina law.
  • Field sobriety tests.The walk-and-turn, the one-leg stand, and the eye test each have rules for how they are given and scored. We compare what the officer did with those rules.
  • Breath and blood testing.Instrument records, the waiting period, the rights form, and the chain of custody. A number on a printout is only as good as the process behind it.
  • Your whole story.A DWI charge is one night. We see the whole person: your work, your family, your license, and what you need to keep moving.

General information, not legal advice. Every case is different, and past cases do not predict the outcome of yours.

How we work

Three promises we can keep.

I · INVESTIGATE

Body camera, dash camera, lab reports, the officer’s training. We find what the report leaves out.

II · TELL YOU THE TRUTH

Plain answers about where you stand, your options, and what each one costs you.

III · PREPARE FOR TRIAL

Every case is built as if a jury will hear it. That is how every option stays open.
