When people come to our Charlotte law office, they are worried. They’ve made a mistake or something bad has happened. They need answers and support. Most of all, they need to know that they can overcome this difficulty and move forward with their lives.

At Powers McCartan, we are aggressive, yet caring legal advocates watching out for our clients’ best interests in court and in negotiations. Whatever criminal charges you face, you can count on knowledgeable guidance and skillful defense. We have represented clients facing a wide range of criminal charges, including:

  • Simple assault
  • Assault and battery
  • Assault with a weapon
  • Aggravated assault
  • Vehicular assault
  • Domestic assault, violation of restraining orders, harassment and stalking

Our criminal defense attorneys do their homework, reviewing all relevant background information to see what might have contributed to charges of assault or domestic violence.
