Firm: Allen Stahl & Kilbourne, PLLC

20 Town Mountain Road , Asheville , North Carolina 28801

Practice Areas: Construction, Insurance, Products Liability, Real Estate

I am a litigation attorney with more than 20 years' experience. I am licensed in Washington, Hawaii and North Carolina. Recently, I have relocated to the Asheville, North Carolina area, and I am a litigation attorney with the firm Allen Stahl & Kilbourne, PLLC. Too often in legal matters, common sense and compassion are missing. After practicing law for more than 20 years, I have developed exemplary skills as an attorney; however, I always bring common sense and compassion to the table with regard to my clients' situations.. I was raised in Southeast Asia as the dependent of a CIA field officer. Shortly after returning to the United States, I attended Vassar College and graduated with a dual degree in Old and Middle English and Music, with a minor in Physics. I worked in New York City for several years, performing research related to the Stock Exchange, for Smith Barney. I was raising my three young brothers at the time, and we eventually moved to Hawaii where I lived for 13 years. There, I attended the William S. Richardson School of Law to obtain my J.D., graduating second in my class. I was invited and participated in law review, while continuing to compete in moot court competitions. I always had a strong interest in litigation and advocacy, and during law school I participated in moot court competitions around the country. I also participated as an editor on law review. My husband and I left Hawaii in 2002, to settle in the Seattle area. I started at a large Seattle firm, but find I do my best work in a smaller firm environment, where my focus can be on the client and getting results. I established my own firm so that I could offer my clients even more flexibility and where I could be available directly to them. I have now joined an up-and-coming firm of talented litigators in Asheville, North Carolina.. My practice is devoted to civil litigation with a focus on real estate, construction law, municipal law and appellate practice. However, I have experience handling a wide variety of civil cases, including employment law, property damage claims, contract disputes and land use issues. I have handled administrative and APA cases.. I am accessible to my clients and personally handle their cases. I am happy to meet with clients after work hours or on weekends to accommodate their work schedules. In the age of the COVID-19 virus, I offer zoom meetings and remote conferencing so that there is no risk to my clients' health and safety.. I am licensed and in good standing in Washington, North Carolina and Hawaii. I also have experience practicing at the appellate level, including before the Washington State Court of Appeals (Divisions I and II) and at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Amy Privette

Firm: Privette Legacy Planning

130 Iowa Lane , Cary , North Carolina 27511

Practice Areas: Estate Planning

As an estate planning attorney, my favorite part of my job is getting to know my clients and their families, talking with them about the type of legacy they want to leave, and then working with my clients to plan for their life, secure their loved ones' futures, and preserve their family story.. I began my legal career as a paralegal for a well-respected family law firm in Raleigh, North Carolina. Through my many years working as a paralegal, I was able to gain valuable insight, not only into the mechanics of working with clients during some of the worst times of their lives, but also the significant impact legal professionals can have on their clients. My compassionate and empathetic nature made me a lifeline for my clients. The skills and traits that I developed and honed over those years now serve me well in my work as an estate planning attorney.. I attended law school at Regent University School of Law in Virginia Beach. Although living in Virginia Beach was wonderful, the pull of family back home was too great. My decision to return to home was validated when my father was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia just months after I finished from law school. Building a law practice while being "on call" to help my mother care for my ailing father was not easy, but there were many precious moments with Dad during his 4-year journey with Lewy Body Dementia that I would not trade for anything. My experience with my father makes me even more passionate about helping people plan for whatever life throws their way!

Curtis Sluder

Firm: Curtis Sluder and Assoc.

260 New Leicester Highway , Asheville , North Carolina 28806

Practice Areas: Speeding Ticket, Criminal Defense, DUI & DWI, Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Criminal, Traffic, and DWI defense is the primary, if not exclusive, thrust of my practice. I grew up in Weaverville, NC, a small town just north of Asheville. As a kid, I played baseball and football, went hunting and fishing, and was fortunate to enjoy a very close family. I worked my way through college and law school, graduating from the University of North Carolina School of Law in 1998, and passing the North Carolina State Bar Exam that fall. As I attended law school while interning and volunteering with different firms and organizations, I had the opportunity to look into the legal culture of some larger firms. While I had considered making a move to the "big city", and examined many different areas of law before beginning my course of study, I was naturally drawn back to areas of law that us regular folk might find ourselves. I think I knew all along that I wanted to open my own law firm, partly because I did not like what I saw in other law firms- an impersonal service, frequently a lack of compassion for the clients, and often disdain for criminal defendants who may not have deserved such treatment.. At the Curtis Sluder Law Firm, you will not find any of that. I know what it is like to have to work hard all week to support your family, week in and week out. I know what it is like to build up a life that you are proud of and want to protect what you have built. I know what it is like to enjoy life, and know how much criminal or even traffic problems can disturb your routine and wreck your quality of life. No one plans on getting arrested. No one plans on a DWI. No one plans on getting traffic charges. I try to help my clients get their plans, and their life, back on track, with the least amount of disruption in their lives possible.

WHEN RESULTS MATTER..... Clients hire me seeking one thing: RESULTS! What that means differs from client to client. No lawyer can promise you an outcome. What I can promise you is to provide an honest assessment of your case and to turn every stone in an effort to get you the very best possible outcome. No matter how guilty or innocent a set of facts appears in the beginning, our firm works for the win in every case. I have learned over 17 years not every case can be won. But if you work a case with an eye towards winning, you're chances of winning, in even what appeared initially to be a no win situation, improve dramatically. And even when a dismissal or not guilty cannot be had, working for the win will improve our chances of winning related charges and greatly reducing your punishment. 2018 LAWYER OF THE YEAR in BEST LAWYERS!. CUTTING EDGE REPRESENTATION. Knowledge is power. That often used saying is no more true than in the practice of law. The lawyer with the experience, knowledge, technology and trained support staff is best positioned to provide the best legal representation. Beaver Holt Sternlicht & Courie, P.A., has earned a reputation for these traits in all areas of our legal practice. We stay current in breaking changes in the law, the political landscape and relevant technology. This aggressive and "stay ahead" approach to practicing law is reflected in our reported cases, both in the Courts and in the local and national news. I and my fellow law partners also speak regularly at community events and with other lawyers in an effort to share new law, ideas and developing legal issues.. FAIR FEES AND PAYMENT ARRANGMENTS. We are not the cheapest law firm in town. We don't want to be. But we are a group of high performance lawyers devoted to helping their clients. Part of that help is quoting fair fees reflective of our experience and ability as well as the seriousness and complexity of the client's case. We almost always can establish a payment plan that will work for our clients and allow us to be retained in a reasonable time frame. We want to represent the clients that wish to hire us, so we will work to make it managable for all involved. In addition to traditional payment forms of cash and check, we gladly accept Visa, Mastercard, money orders and certified funds. We can also establish allotments which are particularly helpful for our deployed military clients.. MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION. Advertising in the practice of law has changed dramatically over the past several years. A lawyer with no criminal defense experience can purchase top listing on a Google search and immediately find themselves listed above attoneys who have successfully handled hundreds of cases just like that of the potential client. It is so important to do internet research and analyze the number of years practiced, the awards and honors earned and similar information. But also ask a friend or neighbor. Go see the lawyer's office if you can. Take time to educate yourself on the person or firm you are going to trust to best handle your legal situation.. I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING AND HELPING YOU!. Don't hesitate to call now. We work to get our potential clients in on the same day of their call or whenever is best for them.

She worked with the insurance carriers early on in her career and brought an invaluable insight into their inner workings to our practice.. I am an avid skier, biker and hockey player. I work out regularly at a local Crossfit and am active in my Church and my sons' Boy Scout troop. I have also been active in the community with coaching of a local middle school football team and helping with one of our local high school Rugby programs.. If you are looking for an attorney to help you, or if you simply have a question, please give me a call. We can help. The call as well as the consultation is free!. Yours Truly,. Herb Auger
