Father’s Success in Criminal Trial Clears Path to Citizenship
Type of Case: Misdemeanor Assault on a Female, Misdemeanor Child Abuse, and Misdemeanor Destruction of Property Case Result: Dismissed, Not Guilty County: Guilford County Cross-Disciplinary Approach to Criminal Trial Maintains Custody and Path to Citizenship for One Desperate Father Many times, criminal cases can cross over and affect other areas of law such as immigration or family law. When this happens, it is beneficial to choose a law firm with varied experience to advise you while considering all these moving parts. Recently, Dummit Fradin used this cross-disciplinary approach to help a client with multiple misdemeanor charges maintain his path to citizenship. Previous Family Law Issues at Hand Initially, the client approached our Family Law division due to an impending 50-B domestic violence action taken out by his ex-wife.

Motion for Appropriate Relief Granted in Guilford County
Our client, like many others, got a dreaded speeding ticket in Guilford County. Unfortunately, Guilford County has a new policy that makes it difficult to get a reduction on any speeding charge where the top speed is over 90 miles per hour. So, our client hired legal counsel. Attempting a Prayer for Judgement Continued Her previous lawyer helped her get a Prayer for Judgement Continued. This is a motion unique to North Carolina that allows people with traffic violations to plead guilty to an offense and ask for a Prayer for Judgement from the judge. If the judge grants the Prayer for Judgement, the offense is not entered against the defendant. It is still documented, but points are not added to the person's driving record. However, one caveat is that there's a limit to the number of Prayers for Judgement a judge can grant per household. And, the [...]
Immigration Case Expedited for Urgent Humanitarian Reasons
Our bilingual immigration attorney in Greensboro, Devon Senges, helped a local woman get an expedited immigration process for “urgent humanitarian reasons”. We usually see these expedited processes granted in cases such as a dying spouse with a week to live. Except, in this case, there was no dying spouse. The woman was stuck in Mexico and separated from her husband and children. Devon Senges learned that the woman needing entry to our country was a beloved member of a large church in Pinehurst. The other members of the church were distraught to hear of the immigration roadblock faced by this family. Our Greensboro immigration attorney thought of a plan and orchestrated it beautifully. She provided the pastor of the church with a letter, and specific instructions for the interested church members to sign and provide a copy of their photo ID. Hundreds joined the cause, and the [...]
Mother Wins Primary Custody After Successful Negotiation
A mother in Guilford County wanted to fight for primary custody of her child. So, she turned to our Greensboro domestic team. Our domestic team prepared for trial thinking a settlement was not possible. [The attorney] arrived for the trial that morning and unpacked her materials, including a 3-inch binder with tabs for 15 exhibits. Shortly thereafter, opposing counsel informed her they were interested in revisiting the settlement negotiations. [She] argued consistency and stability were in the minor child's best interests. The minor child had spent the majority of the time with the mother and was comfortable in her home. The Dummit Fradin team negotiated a consent order granting primary custody to the mother. This custody order secures her rights as the primary parent. Should anything arise in the future, this custody order can be enforced by the contempt powers of the court. Our Tips for Negotiating Primary [...]

Contempt Hearings for Child Support & Custody a Success
One of our Dummit Fradin family law attorneys recently won two Contempt hearings against the same father – one in custody court and one in child support court. Child Support Contempt Hearing In the child support matter, [the attorney] won the Show Cause Motion by showing that the father had not paid any of the ordered child support while having the ability to pay it. Additionally, she asked the court to use his “bad faith” behavior at a past high-earning job to impute his income for calculating child support. [The attorney] submitted evidence to show the father had acted in a manner that would foreseeably result in his termination from employment, and embezzlement. Indeed, he was fired from the lucrative job. When he got a new job, it paid significantly less. His entirely predictable demotion showed that he acted with conscious disregard for his obligation to support his [...]

Unjust Drug Trafficking Charges To Be Dismissed
Our client was facing several felony drug charges including drug trafficking charges in heroin and opium. Under that charge alone, she was up against a mandatory 18-year minimum prison sentence.

Getting the Drug Trafficking Charges Dismissed Upon accepting the case, our criminal defense attorney in Greensboro got to work right away. After in-depth research, our attorney came across legislative updates that made it clear that our client was improperly charged with trafficking. At maximum, she should have been charged with Possession with Intent to Sell a Controlled (schedule II) Substance. Our attorney made this argument at a bond hearing and successfully reduced our client's bond from 1.5 million down to $100k. The judge even commented from the bench [...]
