Charlotte Criminal Defense Attorneys

Doing Whatever It Takes to Defend Our Clients

News about Criminal Cases

When you have been accused of a crime, you need a legal team that will stop at nothing to defend you. At Oakhurst Legal Group, we are ready to believe in you and go the extra mile to ensure your future is protected. Our Charlotte criminal defense lawyers have experience assisting clients in North Carolina’s state, county, and municipal court systems, enabling us to help you face whatever legal problem you are navigating.


Many attorneys will shy away from going to trial in criminal defense cases. Defending a client in court requires a level of skill, confidence, and dexterity that many legal professionals cannot muster, leading to a preponderance of plea deals. Some would rather quickly settle a case and move on than do what is fully necessary to advocate for what is truly best for their clients’ interest, especially if prosecutors are aggressively stacking charges.


If we can fight your charges, we are prepared to go to trial. We are more than confident in our legal abilities and have a track record of success in building robust, effective defenses. Our team has experience handling cases involving murder, drug crimes, racketeering, and more. We can work with you one-on-one to understand the intricacies of your case and help you understand what strategies we can pursue and their likelihood of success.

We offer free consultations for criminal defense cases, so do not wait to call.

    North Carolina weapons laws can be very harsh on offenders in urban counties such as Union, Gaston, Rowan, Iredell, Cabarrus, and Mecklenburg in North Carolina. Having experienced lawyers when arrested for weapons-related charges as soon as possible in the process can go a long way toward defending your rights. Our defense team focuses on handling weapon-related arrests such as concealed carry, firearm discharge, shooting incidents, illegal sales, and possession of stolen gun issues.

You can face criminal charges and civil lawsuits through RICO regulations. North Carolina also has its own set of similar racketeering laws. Any type of racketeering case will require a strong legal defense.

Why You Should Always Hire a Lawyer to Fight Criminal Charges

Too often defendants are bullied or coerced into plea deals by law enforcement or inadequate representation. If you are accused of any kind of crime, no matter how big or small, you have a right to due process. In many situations, that includes a trial and exhausting every potential form of legal relief available to you. Having a criminal record can limit your future opportunities and even restrict your freedoms, so it is always in your best interest to exercise every legal ability afforded to you.

At Oakhurst Legal Group, we are not only passionate about winning cases: We are also invested in your long-term future. Our Charlotte criminal defense lawyers treat clients like friends and family and will leave no stone unturned in finding the best way to defend you.
