Do You Know Your Rights?
Many people do not fully understand their legal rights or the serious consequences that can follow a criminal charge. For example, after a DWI arrest in North Carolina, failing to act quickly could result in the suspension of your driver’s license. In other situations, additional charges — such as weapons offenses discovered during a search — can significantly increase potential penalties. Domestic violence allegations may also affect child custody, visitation rights, and even your ability to legally possess a firearm in the future.
At Harris & Associates, Attorneys at Law, PLLC, Attorney Robert J. Harris is committed to helping clients understand their rights and options at every stage of the legal process. He takes the time to clearly explain the charges you face, your constitutional protections, and the possible outcomes of your case. Each defense strategy is carefully tailored to the specific facts involved, with the goal of minimizing penalties, protecting your record, and pursuing alternative sentencing when available.
In addition to trial defense, our firm also assists with post-conviction matters and appeals. This may include reviewing prior convictions, addressing probation or parole issues, seeking expungements, or evaluating whether constitutional violations or ineffective assistance of counsel affected the outcome of a case. Our priority is to safeguard your rights and protect your future.
