Our client and his wife also had a younger son together who's custody schedule would come into question later in his case. The husband explained to our family law team that the autistic son often had violent outbursts. And, because he was a teenager, it could be difficult to calm him down and keep him from hurting himself or others. Because our client is undocumented and currently in the process of gaining United States citizenship, this could have had a significantly negative impact on the outcome of his citizenship. Additionally, his wife had also taken [...]

Father Wins in Child Custody Modification Dispute
Type of Case: Child Custody Modification - Rule 60 Motion to Set Aside Case Result: Successfully Defended Against Rule 60 Motion and Preserved the Standing Custody Order County: Guilford County One of our Greensboro family law attorneys represented a father in a child custody modification trial in Guilford County. The mother's visitation at the time was limited to every other week. In an attempt to change this, she filed a Rule 60 Motion with the court. This Rule 60 motion would ask the court to set aside the custody order and restore her 50/50 custody rights. With this motion, the father risked losing Primary Custody and would have had to accept 50/50 custody. Not to mention, the conditions at the mother's house were unfavorable. Thus, it was not in the best interest of the child to spend half his time there. Analyzing the Opposing Party's Rule 60 Motion [...]
Father Wins Joint Legal Custody, Physical Custody
Type of Case: Child Custody Case Result: Joint Legal Custody and Physical Custody Awarded County: Randolph and Buncombe A young family was torn apart when the mother packed up and moved across the state with the youngest child in tow. [The Attorney] figured she could quickly get a custody order if she made up false allegations about domestic violence against the father. Understandably, the father was devastated after not seeing his child for weeks, and now he had to face a heart-wrenching child custody case. If the judge ruled in favor of the mother and granted her requests, he would have restricted rights to his child. This ruling would mean he'd have supervised visitation or extremely limited visitation. Additionally, he faced potentially losing the right to participate in major decisions, such as educational, religious, and medical decisions. He knew he would need someone competent and experienced to represent [...]
Hero Defense Attorney Rescues Father from False Assault on a Female Charges
Sometimes, a case walks in your door and you have almost no time to prepare in order to achieve the best outcome. That's exactly what happened to one hero defense attorney here at Dummit Fradin. With only four hours to prepare, he was able to secure a not-guilty verdict in a complicated Assault on a Female case in Guilford County. The Case: An Argument Between Dad and Daughter This case truly began a decade earlier with an escalating custody dispute between our soon-to-be client and his ex. Unfortunately, their daughter was caught in the middle feeling as though she needed to show loyalty to one parent over the other. As teens tend to do, she often sided with the more lenient parent. In this instance, the sixteen-year-old child wanted to see her boyfriend one night. Our client refused her request and a normal father-daughter argument ensued. However, [...]

Unfortunately, these hearings can be tough to win without proper representation. Our client lost the hearing and his licensed continued to be permanently revoked. Restoring a Permanently Revoked License Requires a Solid Strategy With a permanently revoked license, our client's independence and job were on the line. So, attorney Clarke Dummit stepped. "When I take on a DMV case, I work with the client and his witnesses to collect and present the evidence needed to win the hearing after he had suffered a loss on his own." - Clarke Dummit Truthfully, it was an uphill battle since the evidence was presented poorly at the previous DMV hearing. Clarke Dummit needed to present a new perspective on the evidence. So, he called new witnesses, [...]

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 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.
