Firm: Foster Law Offices, PLLC

409 East Blvd. , Charlotte , North Carolina 28203

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense

I have been practicing federal and state criminal defense in Charlotte for over 20 years. Since 2010, I have been a State Bar Board Certified Specialist in State and Federal Criminal Law. Since 2012, I have been selected each year as a North Carolina Super Lawyer and have received the highest peer rating (AV preeminent) from Martindale-Hubbell. I have handled every type of criminal case and have always striven to obtain the best possible results for my clients. Unlike many criminal defense lawyers, I do not run a high volume practice where the client is expected to quickly plead guilty and move on. Instead, I studiously look for weaknesses in the prosecution's case with an eye towards winning the case in front of a jury. I am not afraid to try a case, having tried over 130 jury trials during my legal career. On the other hand, if the case appears to be one which will likely result in a guilty verdict, I use the weaknesses in the prosecution's case and the positive aspects of my client's background to try to negotiate a better plea bargain than would otherwise be offered.

DWI & CRIMINAL DEFENSE "From Stop Signs to Murder". Criminal and traffic cases can be more complex than they seem, and if you are in the hands of an inexperienced attorney who does not know what he or she is doing, you can end up with awful results. You don't have to worry about that with me. I've been practicing in Charlotte for over 30 years. My practice is focused entirely on traffic violations, misdemeanors, and felony charges. Some attorneys try to practice in several areas of the law, but I concentrate on one area only so that I can maintain the highest level of expertise in my field.. If you are interested a little background about me, I am a North Carolina native. I attended Charlotte Country Day, and then Duke University, where I was proudly the mascot for the Blue Devils. I received a scholarship to attend law school at Mercer University in Georgia. I have two wonderful kids and am extremely active in their school and sports activities, both as a volunteer for the schools and as a softball/baseball coach for many years.
