Story

Kevin L. Barnett Criminal Defense Attorneys in Charlotte NC 704-899-5574.

Kevin Barnett, Charlotte NC: Criminal and traffic cases can be more complex than they seem, and if you are in the hands of an inexperienced attorney who does not know what he or she is doing, you can end up with awful results. You don't have to worry about that with me. I've been practicing in Charlotte for over 30 years. My practice is focused entirely on traffic violations, misdemeanors, and felony charges. Some attorneys try to practice in several areas of the law, but I concentrate on one area only so that I can maintain the highest level of expertise in my field.

Every case is different, but my approach to every case is the same. I want to get the best result for each and every client. I am well-known among prosecutors, judges, and courtroom personnel, and that familiarity and experience, I believe, gives me an edge when I work on your case. When you hire an attorney, you want to feel confident that you're in good hands and that you have somebody working hard for you and giving your case the attention it deserves. I'll give you that confidence.

Call our office and come in for a free initial consultation. When you leave, I guarantee you'll know exactly where you are in the court process, and either I or my staff will answer any questions you may have about what to expect next.

If you are interested a little background about me, I am a North Carolina native. I attended Charlotte Country Day, and then Duke University, where I proudly was the mascot for the Blue Devils. I received a scholarship to attend law school at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. I have two wonderful kids. I am, and have been, extremely active in their schools (South Mecklenburg and Quail Hollow) and sports activities, both as a volunteer for the schools and as a softball/baseball coach for many years.
