Successful Negotiation for Dismissal of Felony Charges

Our client was accused of Felony Breaking and/or Entering and Simple Assault after a dispute with his neighbor occurred at their apartment complex. The client was facing up to 32 months in prison as a result of the charges. After a lengthy back and forth negotiation with the DA’s Office, we were able to secure a dismissal of all charges filed against our client.

Federal Drug Conspiracy Charges Reduced

Our client was charged in Federal Court with Conspiracy to Possess with the Intent to Distribute more than 500 grams of Methamphetamine and Distribution of Methamphetamine. The client was facing a mandatory minimum of not less than 10 years up to life. We successfully negotiated a plea to lesser offenses and our client ultimately received a drastically reduced sentence of 48 months.

Airport Concealed Carry Violation Dismissed; TSA Fine Reduced

A client was charged with Concealed Gun Permit Violation when they failed to properly check their carry-on bag before going through a TSA checkpoint at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. The client was facing up to 60 days in jail. We were able to get all charges dismissed on behalf of the client without them having to appear in court and obtained a significant reduction in the client’s TSA fine.

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.
