You should never face a criminal charge without speaking to an attorney.

At the law firm of Bain, Buzzard & McRae in Lillington, North Carolina, we offer a free initial attorney consultation to people who have been arrested in Harnett, Johnston, and Lee counties.

Our criminal defense lawyers represent people who have been charged with criminal offenses, including:

• DWI/DUI
• Simple assault
• Domestic violence

• Burglary and robbery
• Possession of marijuana, cocaine or meth and other drug charges

Many people who are arrested on charges such as domestic assault plead guilty simply because that is the easiest thing to do. However, if the victim doesn't want to pursue the case, a lawyer can often have the charges dismissed.

There are many things a criminal defense lawyer can do to help you if you have been charged with a crime. In addition to trying to have the charges dismissed, our lawyers can defend you in court, assist you with plea negotiations to a lesser charge, or seek to minimize penalties during sentencing.
