Where he started
Attorney Huggins began as a public defender. That work puts a lawyer beside frightened people with little time, and it teaches a lawyer to read the whole file, to ask what the paperwork leaves out, and to tell the client the truth about what it means.
He built Huggins Law Firm, P.C. on that habit. Today the firm works from 826 N. Elm Street in downtown Greensboro.
How we work
His rule for the firm is simple: “We investigate rather than process. We don’t accept the police report as fact and we don’t use templates. We tell clients the hard truth and prepare every case as though it’s going to trial.”
That means the video gets watched, the reports get read against each other, and you hear the strengths and weaknesses of your case before you decide anything.
The cases he handles
Criminal defense is the core of the practice, from DWI to drug trafficking. He defends people charged with traffic offenses, misdemeanors, and felonies, including fraud, homicide, sex offenses, weapons charges, and probation violations. He also handles federal drug conspiracy and firearms cases, expungements, and appeals.
The firm also handles family and DSS matters, personal injury, business and civil cases, and estates.
He appears in Guilford County District and Superior Court in Greensboro and High Point, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, and in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
DWI study
A DWI case is built on tests: the stop, the field sobriety tests, and the breath or blood result. Attorney Huggins has studied how those tests are supposed to be given, in the same national courses officers take and in programs for defense lawyers.
He is a member of the National College for DUI Defense, Inc. In January 2024, the NCDD featured him as its Member in the Spotlight. His training includes:
- Completed the NHTSA DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Student Course, Impaired Driving Specialists, LLC, 2022
- Completed the NHTSA Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) course, Impaired Driving Specialists, LLC, 2022

- Completed the Winter Session, “Lessons from Legends Part One: Breathe Life Into Your Case,” National College for DUI Defense, 2024

Membership and course completion are not a certification, and they do not promise any result. Every case is different.
