- Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Whether you’re embroiled in a child custody battle, trying to immigrate to the United States, or facing a criminal charge, handling legal issues yourself is difficult — and often impossible. However, when you have the help of a committed and experienced attorney, even highly complex issues start to seem clearer.
At Greenwood Law, advocating for your rights is our passion. We’ve helped clients in Lewisville, Forsyth County, and surrounding areas navigate many different types of legal concerns. If you need legal advice or representation, please call us right now or get in touch through our online contact form.
We take pride in our team’s versatility. Our attorneys can help you with many different legal issues, particularly those in the areas of family, immigration, and criminal law. Here’s a closer look at our practice areas.
Every person accused of a crime has the right to a capable defense. All too often, people think of you as guilty as soon as you’re arrested. Sometimes, those people may even be your close friends and family.
At Greenwood Law, the belief that you are innocent until proven guilty is a central part of our legal practice. We understand how criminal charges can impact your life, your finances, your reputation, and even your sense of self.
We fight tirelessly to defend our clients against most types of criminal charges, including those that often carry an extra stigma, such as:
A good defense attorney doesn’t only focus on legal strategy — they know how to offer support, guidance, and encouragement when you need it most. When you work with us, you’ll know your attorney is on your side.
Driving while impaired (DWI) is a serious crime. North Carolina is notoriously tough on DWI offenders, and you’ve probably seen the many police cars patrolling I-40 on weekend nights.
Most DWI offenses are misdemeanors, but some — including certain repeat offenses and DWI crashes that cause serious injury or death — may be prosecuted as felonies. Even if you feel certain you’ll be convicted, you should still hire an attorney to represent you.
Your attorney can develop a robust defense that puts the prosecution’s case under a microscope. They can investigate the alcohol-detection devices used to ensure they were maintained properly, check to see if any field sobriety tests were administered correctly, and fight to have any illegally obtained evidence kept out of court.
Family law isn’t always about taking things to the courtroom. Sometimes, the best approach to a custody dispute is for both parents (and their lawyers) to privately negotiate an agreement. In a family law case, you need to be prepared for anything, and that means you should have a lawyer who knows how to both litigate and negotiate.
When you choose us, that’s exactly the kind of lawyer you get. The Greenwood Law team has helped clients successfully negotiate many different family law issues:
No two family law cases are the same, and we treat your case with the respect and individualized attention it deserves.
Child custody falls under the family law umbrella, but custody cases can be so complicated and emotionally trying that they’re often seen as a separate area of law.
In many cases, we’re able to help our clients negotiate child custody agreements without having a judge decide. However, we’ve also fought for their rights in hotly contested cases that must be decided in the courtroom.
Ultimately, child custody cases are a balancing act. The court will often take your preferences (and those of the other parent) into account, but its main goal is to find a solution that’s aligned with the child’s best interests. Our attorneys can work with you to advocate for the rights and best interests of both you and your child.
Many people think of green cards when they think of immigration. However, the immigration process involves much more than filling out an application. With many unique processes and hundreds of different forms, the immigration system is much harder to navigate than many people realize.
Our team can help you through virtually any immigration process. Here are some of the most common immigration-related situations we help with:
If you need help with another specific immigration process or aren’t sure which process best suits your situation, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us!
If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, you may have already discovered that often, the law treats people accused of domestic violence as if they’ve already been convicted of the crime.
For instance, if someone has accused you of domestic violence, a judge may grant them a Domestic Violence Protective Order (DVPO) against you even if you haven’t been arrested for domestic violence.
These orders may bar you from being in your home or seeing your children. While they don’t go on a criminal record, DVPOs are a matter of public record, so they have the potential to damage your reputation.
If you’ve been served a DVPO or arrested for domestic violence, you need an attorney who is dedicated to defending your rights. Our team regularly works with clients accused of domestic violence, and we’re committed to making sure your side of the story is told.
Traffic violations might seem minor — and compared to serious criminal offenses, they are. However, their consequences can reach farther than most people think.
If you pay for a traffic ticket (which is effectively pleading guilty to a traffic violation), you accumulate a certain number of points on your license. If you accumulate 12 points within three years, your license can be suspended.
Insurance companies also track points on your license, and the more points you have, the higher your premiums are likely to go. Paying for a ticket after getting pulled over on I-77 might not seem like a big deal. But if you work with an attorney to fight it instead, you might save yourself from higher insurance premiums.
In North Carolina, you may be eligible to have certain crimes expunged from your criminal record. Unfortunately, the process is a long and challenging one, and even making a small mistake, such as forgetting to include a docket number, can result in a rejection.
When you work with an attorney, you can save yourself hours of worry, frustration, and uncertainty. Our team takes pride in helping clients tackle even the most challenging expungements.
If you do, Greenwood Law is here for you. Our attorneys regularly assist clients with a range of different legal issues — and our case results speak for themselves.
We understand that dealing with the legal system can be confusing and overwhelming, so we take the time to help you truly understand your current situation. From there, your attorney will work with you to formulate a plan of action. No matter what kind of legal problem you’re facing, working with an experienced attorney can only increase your chances of a positive outcome. If you’re in Lewisville, Forsyth County, and need a lawyer, call Greenwood Law or get in touch online today.
