A REPUTATION AS WISE, DETERMINED ADVOCATES SERVING GREENSBORO CLIENTS
Effective, skilled representation when you need it most
An arrest by federal agents may be the most frightening event you and your family ever face. Our objective at Clifford & Harris, PLLC is to guide you through this ordeal by listening carefully to your needs and tailoring our highly effective representation to meet those needs.
We are among the premier Greensboro criminal defense lawyers, though we will consider a federal case in any jurisdiction, particularly those in North Carolina.
Our experience in federal court gives our clients a distinct advantage when it comes to negotiation and trial. In our more than 50 combined years of practice, we have tried nearly every type of federal case.
Dedicated defense against serious accusations
We have distinguished ourselves as criminal defense attorneys through our commitment to integrity and proven results. This commitment has resulted in a long record of reduced charges, dismissals and successful dispositions before cases ever reach trial. We also have obtained many not-guilty verdicts in felonies and misdemeanors, as well as reduced sentences following guilty pleas or verdicts.
Sometimes, trial is not always in our client’s best interest. We pride ourselves on working very hard to craft a reasonable alternative to trial when it is appropriate for our client.
We regularly succeed in cases in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and Durham.

- Armed bank and credit union robbery
- Arson

Our attorneys regularly consult with clients who have been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury. It is critical that you understand all the ramifications of the testimony. It is always a good idea to consider consulting an attorney before talking to any law enforcement officials, before making a statement to any law enforcement official and before appearing before any grand jury — even if you are not the target.
