Attorneys Serving Asheboro, NC

The team of North Carolina attorneys at Greenwood Law brings dedication and experience to help individuals in Asheboro and throughout Randolph County. We make it our mission to treat each one of our clients with the respect they deserve as they face what are often some of the most challenging moments in their lives.

Below is a list of the various practice areas we work in and the ways in which our team can help you:

Criminal Defense

Being charged with a misdemeanor or felony can leave you overwhelmed, seeing as you may face serious fines, time in prison, and many other consequences if you’re convicted.

Thankfully, our Asheboro criminal defense lawyers can help individuals of all ages understand what the charges are while putting together a powerful defense to fight the accusations. We represent people who are being charged with any of the following:

Theft and other property crimes
Sexual crimes
White-collar crimes
Federal drug crimes
Violent crimes
Child pornography crimes
Gun violations
Domestic violence

Our team will thoroughly investigate the claims levied against you, and we’ll do everything possible to bring doubt into every aspect of the prosecution’s case and show that you couldn’t have committed the crime.

We’ll focus on whether the Asheboro Police Department followed protocol when they arrested you and collected evidence. For instance, if there’s DNA evidence being used against you, we’ll take a close look at whether the lab that conducted the tests is reliable or not.

DWI Defense

Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is a serious crime that can result in the suspension of your driving privileges as well as jail time and substantial fines. In North Carolina, there are specific levels of DWI misdemeanors you can be charged with.

Level 5 is the least serious, but it still carries the potential of spending time in jail. Levels 1 and 2, on the other hand, are the most serious, involving mandatory minimum sentences. Repeat offenders, those who were transporting minors in the vehicle at the time of the arrest, and those with other aggravating factors can be charged with these high-level misdemeanors.

Having our Asheboro DWI attorneys on your side gives you a chance to beat your charges. We offer aggressive defenses that can call the results of any field sobriety tests into question, as well as whether the officer had real cause to stop you in the first place.

Family Law and Divorce

Greenwood Law also offers assistance to those struggling through some of the most emotionally difficult moments in their private lives. We understand the high stakes at play in things like divorce proceedings, custody battles, and spousal support claims, which is why we’ll offer the personalized care that you and your family deserve.

Our Asheboro family law attorneys have experience with the most straightforward divorces (those involving marriages that last fewer than five years and include no children), as well as with complex, high-asset divorces that involve children, businesses, investments, and a variety of other complications.

Furthermore, we represent legal separations and child custody cases, and all subjects surrounding them. We can help you with paternity claims, legal and physical custody arrangements, and grandparents’ rights. If you want to make changes to your custody agreements, we can also facilitate the process.

Spousal support is another of our focuses with family law. We help with both post-separation support as well as alimony, helping you come up with a plan that takes everything into account, from your assets to your ability to provide.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence refers to crimes that occur between people who have a personal relationship. These include the following:

Sexual battery
Stalking
Assault
Assault with a deadly weapon
Harassment
Threats of bodily harm

Violating a protective order is another issue that clients don’t realize the severity of. Something as simple as posting on social media can violate such an order and have serious repercussions.

In any case, being charged with a domestic violence misdemeanor or felony can affect your reputation as well as any custody arrangements you have and could even cost you your freedom.

Our team will bring forth a powerful defense to ensure that your side of the story is heard. We have experience with criminal law while also understanding the intricacies of interpersonal relationships. And that makes for a unique approach that allows us to help you navigate the challenges of domestic violence accusations.

Immigration

Immigration laws are in constant flux, which means it’s essential to know about changes as they occur to ensure that you are aware of all of your options. Whether you’re seeking permanent residency or citizenship, having lawyers with experience handling immigration cases can help you avoid common pitfalls that could prevent you from staying legally in the country.

At Greenwood Law, we assist with employment-based immigration. The visa process is complex, but we can help you with the paperwork as well as with ensuring that you have all of the necessary materials to present to immigration services.

Family-based immigration similarly appears simple, but it’s not. Nevertheless, if you’d like to bring close family members to the United States, we can help make the process a bit less overwhelming.

Additionally, our Asheboro immigration lawyers have experience with the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Its eligibility requirements aren’t always clear, so we can help you understand whether you or a family member can apply and begin the process right there in our office.

Lastly, if you’ve been charged with a crime, you may not even realize that the conviction could affect your immigration status. Having lawyers by your side with ample experience in both criminal defense and immigration laws is essential, and it’s what you’ll get when partnering with Greenwood Law.

Traffic

Many people shrug off traffic tickets, but they could have a significant impact depending on the infraction you’re accused of committing. It’s important to understand that paying a ticket is akin to admitting guilt. As such, with a ticket citing reckless driving violations, paying it would essentially mean pleading guilty to a Class 2 misdemeanor.

With a lawyer helping you, it’s possible to fight traffic tickets while also avoiding the hefty fees attached to them. Contacting our lawyers is one of the first things you should do if you get a ticket.

Wills and Trusts

At Greenwood Law, we offer estate planning services. Most people think of estate planning as something only people with lots of properties and other high-value assets should do, but that’s not the case. Everyone can benefit from proper estate planning, as it can help ensure their loved ones are protected when the individual is no longer there.

By having wills and trusts set up, you can ensure that your loved ones don’t have to deal with the delay of a lengthy probate process during such an emotionally taxing time. In addition, wills and trusts can minimize the chances of challenges and disputes as well as death taxes.
