North Carolina Criminal Lawyer
All kinds of people make mistakes — when driving, when out on the town or the beach and in other areas of everyday life. Sometimes those mistakes lead to criminal charges, and when that happens in southeastern North Carolina, our lawyers are ready to step in with solid criminal defense counsel and effective representation.
As experienced criminal defense lawyers, we keep our clients' mistakes in perspective. We are also well aware that police mistakes and oversteps sometimes create big trouble for good citizens. Our entire legal team at Christina Rivenbark & Associates is dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable place to talk through what happened and a great place to get the legal help you need.
A Caring, Constructive Approach in All We Do
For many of our clients, an arrest is a one-time event that occurs during a difficult time. We will work hard to earn a favorable outcome and minimize the impact on your life going forward, whether that requires negotiation with prosecutors or taking the case through trial in district court.
We frequently represent students and young people, working-class men and women, educators and licensed professionals who need defense against criminal allegations such as:
- Drunk driving — charged as DWI, but sometimes called DUI — and arrests for other alcohol-related offenses such as underage drinking
- Simple drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia
- Shoplifting and other types of theft
- Disorderly conduct
- Simple assault, most typically resulting from a bar fight or other physical altercation
Determined, Effective Representation for Area Residents and Visitors
Our attorneys have built a reputation for integrity and determination in courts throughout New Hanover, Columbus, Sampson, Cumberland, Onslow and nearby counties — and in government offices and negotiating rooms throughout our area. We offer legal counsel in Spanish for those who understand Spanish best, and we use the latest technology to efficiently serve out-state residents with legal issues in this part of North Carolina.
