Facing a criminal charge is one of the most stressful things a person can go through. Your freedom, your reputation, and your future are all on the line. That is exactly why having the right attorney matters so much. At Clifford and Harris Trial Lawyers, the team understands the threat a criminal investigation or arrest poses to your freedom and your livelihood, and that is why they advocate so aggressively to protect your clients' rights and pursue the best possible outcome. By focusing exclusively on criminal defense, the attorneys have honed their skills in this complex, demanding area of law, representing thousands of business and individual clients in both state and federal courts. The firm has helped defendants across nearly all aspects of criminal law, including felonies and misdemeanors, assault, domestic violence, weapons charges, white collar crimes, and traffic violations. Because Locke and Andrew Clifford each served as assistant district attorneys in Guilford County, the team brings a deep understanding of how prosecutors build their cases, and how to take them apart. The firm works to examine every case individually and tailor the best possible strategy, with goals ranging from dismissed charges and acquittals to reduced charges or reduced sentences when other outcomes are not realistic. Whether you are dealing with a state misdemeanor or a serious federal felony, Clifford and Harris offers a free consultation in most situations, accepts credit cards, and can work out a payment plan to make the process easier on you and your family.
