North Carolina Drug Charges Attorney
Misdemeanor criminal charges may seem like a trivial matter. A common mindset when facing misdemeanor charges is to simply pay the fine and move on. But, paying that fine often means an admission of guilt and a conviction on the count. The fact of the matter is that, while the fine may seem inconsequential, the conviction can have ramifications for your future.
At Christopher A. Beechler, P.C., our Winston-Salem misdemeanor defense lawyer is certified in state criminal law by the North Carolina State Board of Legal Specialization. This distinction is held by only a handful of attorneys in the Winston-Salem area. Further, it can only be earned after an attorney has demonstrated exceptional knowledge within the field coupled with sufficient experience in a range of legal actions including trials and appellate experience.
