Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  “Attorney Baskerville has the knowledge and experience it takes to get results. Over the years he has earned a reputation for zealous advocacy coupled with professionalism.” – Thomas Clifton, Criminal defense Attorney.
• DUI/DWI
  Therefore, there are two different ways that DWI is defined in North Carolina. Either have an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or above or being appreciably impaired, based on the officer applying his training and experience.
• Traffic Violations
  If someone cannot afford to pay the fine for a traffic violation, it can certainly become a vicious cycle. This is close to home for me because our firm is in a rural area and we don’t have a subway system, or any public transportation. Folks have to work and attend church, pick their kids up from school and run errands. They’re going to drive whether or not they have a valid license. The way the statute was previously written punished poverty.
• Misdemeanors
  Whether someone is charged with a felony or a misdemeanor depends on two factors. It depends on the classification and amount of the controlled substance. For example, marijuana can be a misdemeanor if it is less than an ounce and a half.  Anything above an ounce and a half of marijuana is a felony. However, for other substances such as perhaps cocaine, there is never a misdemeanor charge. Any amount of cocaine is going to be a felony. In addition, any amount of heroin is also going to be a felony. Thus, it depends on the amount, and the schedule classification of the drug.
• Drug Crimes
  The most frequently charged drug crime is possession of marijuana, possession of heroin, and possession of cocaine. When it comes to possession, it can be strictly be possession, or it can be possession with the intent to manufacture, sell, deliver, or traffic.
• Murder
  The same concept applies to felonies on a larger scale. However, with felonies, you will be sentence within the range between a minimum and maximum sentence. With felonies, you have a minimum number of months up to a maximum number of months depending on your prior criminal record and the severity of the crime. For example, the most serious felony classification is a class A felony. Class A felonies cover first degree murder. Even if someone has no prior criminal record, if they commit a first degree murder, they’re getting life in prison without parole. If not, the death penalty. Class A felonies are the most serious; in North Carolina a class I felony is the lowest.

Property Law

• Real Estate Transactions
  In addition to a will, a proper estate plan includes a power of attorney.  A power of attorney is the letter that outlines the person allowed to manage various aspects of your life in the case that you are no longer able to make decisions on your own. The responsibilities may include real estate transactions, banking transactions, insurance transactions, IRS transactions, social security administration and more.
