Assault and battery is a crime that can be penalized severely, even when no harm results. Many people in Mecklenburg County are surprised to learn how a small act can be treated as assault under the law. In addition to the potential criminal penalties, a conviction for assault creates a criminal record that can interfere with employment, cause problems with housing applications, and result in embarrassment and lost opportunities.
Drug crimes in Mecklenburg County run the gamut from simple possession misdemeanors to serious felonies. Those accused of drug crimes need to make sure they act to protect their legal rights, or they risk forfeiting those rights.

In Mecklenburg County, it is fairly common for people to drive while under the influence of a small amount of alcohol or drugs. However, driving while intoxicated is like playing Russian roulette. If you are caught, you are in serious trouble. Law enforcement officials may stop drivers suspected of intoxicated driving with very little pretense, and they may issue charges where they are not warranted.
A criminal conviction is likely to impact your future well beyond any jail or prison time that you may serve. Following a conviction for any criminal offense, your permanent criminal record likely will appear on background checks by employers, landlords, and even if you try to volunteer at school for your child.

Michael Hartley helped me with a traffic issue in Virginia. Since it was during the height of COVID (plus I live in FL), I never met him face-to-face. Even so, he made me feel comfortable, answered every single question I could think of, was responsive, represented me well, was honest, was professional, knew good info about the specific jurisdiction my case was in, and made sure everything was crystal clear on my end. I can’t recommend him enough! I was scared during the process and he gave me much needed assurance that all would be fine - it ended very favorably just like he said it would.

I obtained Ms. Hicks services 3 days prior to my court date for allegedly going 87 in a 70 zone in VA. Due to an emergency, I could not appear. She responded to my inquiry the same day. She was very knowledgeable and confident; and any worries I had she definitely assuaged. She answered all of my questions and gave me the possible outcomes so that I knew what to expect.
In the end she was able to have my case dismissed entirely, and that is definitely well worth the fee. Although I hope I never have to go through another experience like this again, Ms. Hicks definitely made it pleasant and less

I was stopped on 95 in Va going south. I was cited for 89 in a 70 mph zone. Upon research of Va laws I found this offense to be strict. I contacted Ms Hicks for advice. She asked me to supply her with all information about my self and the ticket and she would represent me at hearing without me attending. At the hearing which I could not attend I was represented by Ms. Hicks with very good results, I was required to do Community service, plus defensive driving course and fines and court cost.
thanks for your services.

Mrs. Hicks really understood the law concerning traffic cases in the state of Virginia. She has several years of experience and it shows. She also knew the court system and how best to go about getting the right deal made with the judge. She asked very specific, to-the-point questions. She gave us options for getting things into place prior to the court date that truly helped. I would recommend her to anyone who is dealing with a traffic case in Virginia.

Vanessa was so helpful in resolving a citation I received in Virginia. I had never been in the state and was unfamiliar with the laws and penalties for a driving offense.
She went out of her way to provide solutions and guidance to ensure that the matter was resolved in the most positive manner possible.
I would highly recommend Vanessa but hope I do not need her for a traffic citation ever again.
