Most people live their lives hoping to never become entangled with the legal system. However, if you do find yourself dealing with unexpected legal issues, the most important thing you can do for yourself and your family is to work with an experienced attorney.
At Greenwood Law, our uniquely wide base of practice areas makes us well-equipped to help you navigate whatever legal issues come your way. If you need legal help, please call our office or get in touch online to book a confidential consultation.
Our attorneys bring together decades of combined experience across a number of different practice areas. Here’s a closer look at how our team may be able to help you.
Facing criminal charges can be alarming and even embarrassing. If you’ve been arrested, the most important thing to do is to retain a Mocksville criminal defense attorney. At Greenwood Law, we’ve defended clients against nearly every type of charge:
If you’ve been charged, perhaps by Davie County Sheriff’s Office, with a crime you don’t see listed here, please don’t hesitate to reach out — there’s a good chance we can help.
North Carolina and Mocksville have a reputation for being tough on DWI offenders, so if you’ve been charged with DWI, you need a tough defense. Even so-called “minor” DWIs come with serious penalties; the least severe conviction (level 5) still carries a possible sentence of 60 days in jail, and DWI arrests come with license suspensions that can make it difficult or impossible to get to work or complete everyday tasks like grocery shopping.
Even if you’re found guilty of DWI, an attorney can still argue for reduced penalties like suspended sentences. In some cases, they can even arrange for you to receive a limited driving privilege while your license is suspended. Choose a Mocksville DWI lawyer who understands this area and can defend your rights.
Divorce is often complex and emotionally difficult. An attorney can help make the process as seamless as possible.
At Greenwood Law, our Mocksville divorce attorneys recognize that every divorce is different, and our team can help you develop the right plan for your family. If necessary, we can represent you in court, but we also help clients create separation agreements and equitably divide marital property without having to set foot in a courtroom.
Whether they’re part of a divorce or not, child custody disputes are incredibly challenging. The outcome of a custody case doesn’t impact only your life — it fundamentally changes the lives of the children involved. No doubt you love your children, and have lived in Mocksville enjoying the vibrant town as a family. We want for you to continue doing this.
Our Mocksville child custody attorneys have supported countless clients through child custody and support cases, and we’re prepared to help you negotiate with the child’s other parent or seek custody through the courts.
Family law cases in Mocksville are usually handled by the Davie County District Court. And while our attorneys often assist clients going through divorce or navigating child custody disputes, there are many other areas of family law where we can help:
Matters of family law are almost always intensely personal and emotionally fraught. At Greenwood Law, our team of Mocksville family lawyers will treat you with the sensitivity and compassion you deserve while fiercely advocating for your rights in the courtroom.
Everyone makes mistakes. If you’ve committed a crime in the past and have since changed your life, you deserve a clean slate. North Carolina allows you to expunge many kinds of criminal convictions after a waiting period.
However, the process of expungement can be a long and complex one. In many cases, you need to file notarized statements from people who can vouch for your good character. Sometimes, a judge will call a hearing before the expungement is granted to verify that you’re an upstanding citizen.
While you can technically file for an expungement yourself, it’s best to have an attorney by your side. A Mocksville expungement attorney can help you determine your eligibility for an expungement. If you’re eligible, they can walk you through the steps, make sure everything is filed correctly, and represent you in hearings if needed.
Each year, thousands of people immigrate to America in hopes of starting a better life. However, immigration isn’t nearly as straightforward as it seems from the outside. The Greenwood Law team has helped countless clients successfully navigate many different immigration processes:
Our Mocksville immigration lawyers also handle cases that happen at the intersection of immigration law and criminal law. Criminal charges can jeopardize an existing immigration case — and a charge certainly has serious ramifications of its own.
Often, charges of domestic violence involve complications that few other criminal accusations do. For instance, if you live with a significant other who has accused you of domestic violence, you may be ordered to leave the home. Sometimes, your significant other may obtain an order of protection that forbids you from seeing your children.
In our justice system, those accused of crimes are considered to be innocent until proven guilty — but if you’ve been charged with domestic violence, you already know that it often seems to be the other way around.
If you’ve been charged with domestic violence, you don’t only need an attorney to defend you against criminal charges. You also need a Mocksville domestic violence attorney lawyer who will fight for your rights leading up to trial.
Mocksville had 10 fatalities from car accidents in 2022. Mocksville conveniently sits amid the crossroads of U.S. Route 64 and U.S. Route 158 – also known as Lexington Rd. and S Main Street. Even the most careful drivers can make mistakes on the road — especially when they get caught in confusing traffic patterns like the roundabouts on each side of Interstate 40 & Farmington Rd. Other surrounding congested roads include:
Traffic violations might seem minor, but if you pay off a traffic ticket, you’re essentially admitting you’re guilty of a traffic offense. Each offense adds points to your driver’s license, and if you accumulate enough points, your license may be suspended.
In North Carolina, first-time suspensions last 60 days. If your license is suspended again, it will be taken away for six months. Any suspensions after that are one year each.
License suspensions aren’t the only potential consequences. As you add points to your license, your insurance premiums will generally go up. When you hire a Mocksville traffic ticket attorney to help you fight a traffic ticket, you’re often saving yourself money, time, and hassle in the long run.
Estate planning can be uncomfortable to think about. However, planning for the future can give you and your family unmatched peace of mind.
Many people think estate planning is simply about how your assets are divided after your death, but often, a customized estate plan has benefits for the present as well. Some kinds of trusts can minimize your current tax liability. And if you have children, creating a will gives you the opportunity to name a guardian for them in case you and the other parent become incapacitated.
Estate planning can be a complex process, but with the help of a Mocksville estate planning attorney, you can efficiently create a plan to support your family and protect your legacy.
Whether you’ve been charged with a crime, handed a traffic ticket, or confronted with divorce papers, dealing with the legal system can be daunting. At Greenwood Law, we aim to help each client thoroughly understand their case and their options. Once you have a grasp of your situation, we’ll work toward the solution that’s best for you.
