COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT CRIMINAL CHARGES IN CHARLOTTE
What should I do after getting arrested in Mecklenburg County?
Don’t speak to police or investigators without a lawyer present. Every decision you make can impact your case, so call a criminal defense attorney immediately to protect your rights.
Can federal charges be reduced or dismissed?
Yes — but it takes a strategic defense. We review the details of your case, challenge how evidence was gathered, and negotiate with federal prosecutors to get charges dropped or reduced when possible.
Will I go to jail if I’m convicted?
It depends on the charge and the circumstances of your case. In many situations, we can negotiate alternatives to jail — including probation, diversion programs, or reduced sentencing — especially if we’re involved early.
I’ve been accused of domestic violence. What happens next?
You may face protective orders, immediate arrest, and serious criminal charges. We fight to protect your freedom and reputation from the start and work to resolve the case without long-term consequences.
How soon should I hire a lawyer?
Immediately. The sooner you have legal representation, the more time we have to build your defense, protect your rights, and influence the outcome. Waiting too long can limit your options and hurt your case.
How are drug trafficking cases handled in federal court?
Federal drug cases involve strict sentencing and aggressive prosecutors. We challenge search warrants, investigate law enforcement tactics, and fight back against mandatory minimums.
What’s the difference between a misdemeanor and felony in North Carolina?
Misdemeanors usually carry less jail time, but some can still affect your job, record, or custody rights. Felonies carry longer sentences and more serious consequences. We defend against both.
How much does it cost to hire a criminal defense lawyer in Charlotte?
Every case is different, and we’ll explain our fees clearly before moving forward. We offer consultations so you can understand your options and make informed decisions.
