Being charged with a crime does not have to mean you’ll be found guilty.
At the Knox Law Center, our Charlotte criminal defense attorneys work to tip the scales of justice in our clients’ favor. We use innovative legal strategies to protect our clients’ rights and minimize the impact of a criminal charge.
We serve criminal defendants throughout Mecklenburg County.
Our North Carolina criminal defense attorneys have handled the full range of criminal cases, from minor infractions and misdemeanors to serious felonies, including:
DWI (DUI/impaired driving/drunk driving)
Underage possession/consumption of alcohol
Traffic offenses (speeding, reckless driving, driving while license revoked)
Drug/controlled substance offenses (possession, possession with intent to sell/deliver, trafficking, drug paraphernalia)
Assault/battery/domestic violence
Property crimes (Larceny, Breaking and Entering, Unlawful Concealment, Embezzlement, false pretenses, credit card/financial transaction fraud, forgery, theft)

We also handle Motions to Suppress Evidence due to illegal searches by police, Bond Reduction Hearings, and Probation Violation Revocation hearings. For examples of results we have achieved for our clients, visit our Verdicts and Settlements page.
Have you been stopped and charged with drunk driving or driving while impaired ( DUI/DWI)? We can help mitigate the fines and penalties associated with a DWI/DUI conviction.
Or perhaps you were boating on Lake Norman or Lake Wylie and were stopped by an officer and ticketed for Boating While Impaired (BWI). Was the officer operating within his or her legal capacity to arrest or ticket you? What were the circumstances under while you were arrested?
For questions related to alcohol related offenses, it is imperative that you contact us quickly. An arrest for DWI/BWI will automatically revoke your driver’s license for 30 days. However, with our help it can be reinstated for limited use after 10 days. In addition, we can help you fight the drunk driving charge that may increase your insurance premiums and could subject you to jail time.
Waiving your court appearance and paying a traffic ticket is never the best option; paying is the equivalent of a guilty plea, which can result in increased insurance premiums and a revocation of your driver’s license. At the Knox Law Center, we take traffic violations seriously and can help you avoid the severe penalties associated with such convictions. Our traffic ticket defense lawyers handle a variety of traffic violations from speeding tickets to reckless driving.
Our criminal defense lawyers have successfully handled hundreds of cases involving the possession, sale and distribution of all types of controlled substances, including cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and prescription medications. We have the experience and knowledge to use every available option to avoid a conviction on your record.
We have successfully represented clients charged with all types of property crimes, including:
Larceny
Breaking and entering
Unlawful concealment
Embezzlement
False pretenses
Credit card/financial transaction fraud
Forgery
Theft
We are ready to help you keep these charges off your record.
Please contact the Knox Law Center to speak with an experienced criminal defense lawyer. We work hard to keep your record clean.
