Former Prosecutor Handling Criminal Defense For Asheville And Surrounding Communities Since 1999
If you have been arrested or are under investigation for alleged criminal activity, there are two very important things to keep in mind:
​
-
Do not panic.
-
Do not speak to police investigators before consulting with your own defense lawyer. REGARDLESS of what they tell you, if you are under arrest or under investigation, they are not your friend, and they are not there to help you but will often say that they are.
​
At the Messer Law Firm, in Asheville, North Carolina, we can provide you with the experienced criminal defense representation you need.
Hands-On Trial Experience With First-Degree Murder, Sex Offenses, DWI, Assault And More
