- Biography
I have represented clients with diverse legal needs, ranging from those who are accused of serious crimes including Driving While Impaired (DWI) to more serious felonies and who face the loss of liberty if convicted. A large part of my practice focuses on the defense of those who have been accused of committing crimes, especially those accused of DWI/DUI and I have been recognized in this industry by both peers and clients as achieving great results for my clients. I zealously fight to protect his clients’ statutory and Constitutional rights and try to ensure that they do not get railroaded by a system that is supposed to stand for innocence until proven guilty. The daily mission at my Charlotte, North Carolina based law firm of SeiferFlatow, PLLC and that of myself is to help level the playing field for their clients by combining a high level of customer service with aggressive advocacy on their client’s behalf. I believe that no two clients’ legal needs are exactly the same, and I tailor myplan of action to the specific needs of my client.
