Criminal Defense
When you are charged with a crime, the most critical decision you can make is who to hire as your criminal defense attorney. Even seemingly minor misdemeanors can have major impact on your career and reputation. With this in mind, if you are charged with a criminal offense, you need someone who you can trust to aggressively defend your interests and effectively evaluate all defense options. We offer the highest caliber of criminal defense representation with respect to the following offenses, as well as several others.
DWI / Traffic Violations
related offenses. We have over thirty years of combined experience defending every aspect of these charges. The implications of even a single DWI charge can be life changing. Think of what you stand to lose – your driver’s license, your car, your job, your reputation, even your freedom. Our lawyers understand and specialize in defending clients charged with DWI. We are well-equipped to defend every aspect of these charges, from challenging probable cause with respect to the initial traffic stop to successfully appealing the administrative suspension of driver’s licenses.
Family Law
At Levinson & Axford, we understand that family law issues are often highly emotional. Domestic proceedings can have a profound impact on your finances, interpersonal relationships, and everyday life. Unlike most law firms, we approach each domestic case with an eye toward counseling, negotiation, and settlement so as to avoid the costly and public nature of court proceedings. With such sensitive issues at play, we understand that it is usually in the best interest of all parties to settle domestic matters amicably without resorting to litigation.
Transactional/Corporate
At Levinson & Axford, we shine both inside and outside the courtroom. To that end, our attorneys are ready and willing to assist you with your transactional corporate needs. We have several years’ experience assisting clients with nearly every phase of the corporate life cycle. Our attorneys have the experience, attention to detail, and foresight to enable you to make your business flourish. Give us a call to find out more about how we can help you accomplish your corporate objectives.
Personal Injury
We handle all personal injury or wrongful death cases, including automobile and other motor vehicle accidents, injuries on unsafe premises, and the harm caused by insurance companies acting in bad faith. When you are injured due to another’s negligence or wrongful conduct, you need an attorney who is skillful at negotiating but who knows if and when it’s time to get tough. At Levinson & Axford, we have decades of experience in both fields: negotiating settlements that fully and fairly compensate our clients and seeing cases through to jury verdicts or appeals in the event that negotiations are unsuccessful. If you hire us to litigate your personal injury claim, you can rest assured that we will do everything in our power to get you the compensation you deserve.
Civil Litigation
Levinson Law’s team of attorneys is well-versed in all aspects of civil litigation. We will guide you through every step of the process, from filing or answering an initial complaint all the way to appearing in court before a judge or jury. We have represented clients in nearly every sort of civil dispute imaginable, and unlike many firms, each one of our attorneys has courtroom experience. Even so, our primary goal for our civil clients is to keep them out of the courtroom through alternative dispute resolution processes such as arbitration and mediation, striving to achieve what justice requires in each individual case.
Drug Possession
If you have been accused of a drug offense…whether possession or sales, our goal is always the complete dismissal of all charges. You will need an experienced and thorough attorney to review all aspects of the evidence against you. Depending on the type of drug and the amount of the drug the range of punishment could be anything from probation up to life in prison for possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.\
Administrative Hearings
The attorneys at Levinson Law Firm have extensive experience in administrative law matters. We have appeared on behalf of numerous clients before the North Carolina Office of Administrative Hearings, as well as numerous state licensing boards and agencies such as the North Carolina Industrial Commission, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, divisions of the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, and the North Carolina Board of Nursing, just to name a few.
