We are experienced at litigation and are prepared to fight your case as far as neccessary and to the best of our ability. We can help you with immigration matters in any jurisdiction and at all levels. We also handle certain criminal matters in Durham, Orange, and Wake County. We may also consider criminal matters outside of those counties depending on the charges filed and whether immigration is involved.
In addition we also take on personal injury claims as well as medical malpractice claims. If you have been injured or lost a loved one due to the negligence of another please visit our personal injury page to learn more. If the injury or death was the result of a hospital, hospital staff, nurse, doctor or other care provider you may be eligible for just compensation for their actions. Our medical malpractice section can help you understand your rights.

We are currently offering low cost consultations. Our consultation fee will be deducted from our attorney’s fee should you retain us. We will take appointments outside of our normal business hours, if you call during office hours and schedule an appointment. We also handle emergency ICE detention matters.
Our fee’s are reasonable and we have payment plans to help you meet your budget. Personal Injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, and worker’s compensation claims are all handled on a contingency basis, so we don’t get paid until you get paid.
