The Greensboro Criminal Law Attorneys of The Clifford Division
Locke T. Clifford and Andrew C. Clifford of The Clifford Division of Clifford Clendenin & O’Hale, LLP proudly represent the tradition of legal excellence begun by Locke and his colleague 38 years ago in Greensboro, North Carolina. Our lawyers focus on criminal law and defend both individuals and businesses in their criminal cases.
How important is any particular lawyer in criminal defense? Your attorney certainly needs to be knowledgeable on matters of law, and that knowledge comes from schooling, experience, and mentoring under lawyers with accumulated case experience over many years. Your criminal law attorney should also be able to discuss his or her experience working with prosecutors, both local and federal, as well as familiarity with the court systems at different levels.
Your Greensboro criminal law attorney should be someone you can trust on a personal level. That means your attorney should be committed to each of the following:
- Investing time to discuss your case
- Conducting private investigation to uncover evidence that prosecutors or regulators ignored, or overlooked
- Being competent at arguing and negotiating your case with those who accuse you
- Explaining and outlining progress on your case, and explaining options for moving forward; e.g., when to take a plea bargain and when to go to trial
Qualified criminal law attorneys develop these skills over time. The Clifford Division offers two generations of criminal defense lawyers with an extensive case history that demonstrates not only a track record of cases, but also a legacy of successful outcomes.
