Relentless Defense for Assault, Battery, and Violent Crime Charges in Charlotte, Kinston, and Throughout North Carolina
Being accused of assault or a violent crime in North Carolina is a serious matter that can impact your freedom, future, and reputation. At The Emory Law Firm, we provide strategic and relentless legal defense for clients facing misdemeanor or felony charges in Charlotte, Kinston, and surrounding areas.

What Constitutes a Violent Crime in North Carolina?
Violent crimes are those that involve the use or threat of force. In North Carolina, these offenses often carry severe penalties, including long-term imprisonment and permanent criminal records. We represent clients facing charges such as:
- Simple assault
- Assault and battery
- Assault with a deadly weapon (AWDW)
- Domestic violence
- Sexual assault or rape
- Armed robbery
- Homicide or attempted murder
- Kidnapping or unlawful restraint
We Know What’s at Stake
When your freedom is on the line, you need a defense attorney who understands both the law and the system. Our team has extensive experience challenging evidence, negotiating with prosecutors, and defending clients in front of juries. We investigate every detail of your case, including:
- Eyewitness credibility
- Surveillance footage or police body cam evidence
- Inconsistencies in the arrest report
- Violations of your constitutional rights
Building a Strong Defense
Every violent crime case is unique. Depending on the circumstances, we may argue self-defense, defense of others, lack of intent, false accusation, or mistaken identity. Our attorneys are prepared to challenge the prosecution’s narrative and fight for a dismissal, acquittal, or reduced charges.
Domestic Violence Allegations
North Carolina takes domestic violence allegations seriously, and a simple accusation can lead to immediate arrest, restraining orders, and loss of child custody or housing. If you are facing a domestic violence-related charge, contact us immediately. Early intervention is crucial to protecting your rights.
