Where your High Point case is heard
Guilford County holds court in two places: Greensboro and High Point. The High Point courthouse is the Guilford County Courthouse at 505 East Green Drive, High Point, NC 27262, according to the North Carolina Judicial Branch. Your citation, summons, release order, or court notice names the location and the date. Read it twice. Going to the wrong building can mean missing your case when it is called.
If the location is unclear, call us before court day. Our High Point courthouse guide covers what to bring, how to dress, and what the day looks like.
What happens after a charge
- Release and conditions. After an arrest, a magistrate sets the conditions of release. Some people sign a promise to appear; others have a bond. The conditions matter, and breaking them can put you back in custody.
- The first court date. Most cases do not end the first time you go to court. The first date is where the case gets its footing, and where mistakes are expensive.
- The evidence. We get the reports, the body camera and dash camera video, the lab results, and the witness statements. We do not accept the police report as fact. We test it.
- Motions and negotiation. If the stop, the search, or the statement was unlawful, we say so in a motion. Where a dismissal, a reduction, or a deferral is possible, we push for it with the facts in hand.
- Trial or resolution. You decide whether to accept an offer or go to trial. We tell you the hard truth about both, in plain words, before you choose.
- After the case. We look at what stays on your record and whether an expunction may be available later.

How we work
We investigate rather than process. Every file gets read, every video gets watched, and every case is prepared as though it is going to trial, because the cases that are ready for trial are the ones that resolve on fair terms.
We tell you the truth about your case, including the parts that are hard to hear. You will not have to wonder where things stand: after every court date, we tell you what happened and what comes next.
We see the whole person. A charge is one moment in a life, and the judge and the prosecutor should see the rest of it: your work, your family, the steps you have already taken.
