When you choose Greenwood Law for your case, you get to work directly with founder Dylan Greenwood or partner Jessica Armentrout.

“Dylan Greenwood got an EXTREMELY hard expungement off of the record!! Other lawyers told me they couldn’t do it, or refused it. Mr. Greenwood assured me that he could handle it, and after speaking with him and his highly professional staff, I had all the faith in him. My family’s life is changed FOREVER because of him getting this expunged! 100/10 stars.”

OUTCOME ORIENTED

Personalized Advocacy From Experienced Winston-Salem Criminal Lawyers

At our firm, you are not a case number. You are a person with a unique life history and singular legal challenge. Our goal is to help you achieve the best possible outcome for your criminal, family, immigration, estate, or whatever legal issue you are facing. You will not be passed from associate to associate, but rather will stay with one attorney all the way through your case.

Hands-On and No Middlemen

Many law firms in Winston-Salem and throughout North Carolina follow a very different model from Greenwood Law when it comes to how they work with clients. A senior attorney brings a client in, then hands the case off to associates or junior lawyers. Those associates handle all the paperwork, phone calls, negotiations, and even courtroom appearances. Meanwhile, the person whom the client trusted with their case in the first place has little to no impact on its outcome.

This approach creates distance and confusion, and it can even result in weaker outcomes. When you come into our firm, you speak with founder Dylan Greenwood or partner Jessica Armentrout, the lawyer who will handle your case from day one to final resolution. We’re here to answer all your questions, keep you updated on your case’s status, tailor a strategy to achieve your goals, and represent you in the courtroom.
