Federal Criminal Defense Attorneys

Federal Criminal Defense

Federal Drug Crimes · Federal Fraud · Firearms · Conspiracy

Federal cases move differently and are far more aggressive than state prosecutions. By the time charges are filed, investigators have often spent years building evidence. We provide an elite defense against large-scale narcotics investigations, bank/wire fraud, weapons violations, and complex federal conspiracy allegations.

White Collar & Financial Crimes

White Collar & Financial Crimes

Embezzlement · Money Laundering · Bank Fraud · Cybercrime

In Charlotte’s professional environment, a financial allegation can end a career overnight. We defend executives and professionals against complex financial investigations, mail/bank fraud, and tax fraud. We focus on protecting your reputation and resolving matters discreetly through early intervention.


North Carolina State Felonies

North Carolina State Felonies

Violent Crimes · Drug Trafficking · Sex Crime Allegations

A state felony conviction in North Carolina carries life-altering penalties, from prison time to a permanent criminal record. Whether you are facing assault with a deadly weapon, robbery, or serious drug charges, we aggressively challenge evidence and fight to protect your freedom in state court.

Healthcare Fraud Defense

Healthcare Fraud Defense

Medicare/Medicaid Fraud · False Claims Act · Anti-Kickback Statute

Physicians, practice owners, and healthcare executives in North Carolina face unique federal scrutiny. We defend clients in OIG and DOJ investigations involving billing compliance, FCA whistleblower defense, and opioid-related prescribing allegations, protecting both your liberty and your professional license.
