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, [...]

Temporary Emergency Custody Granted On the day of court, the Plaintiff failed to appear. [...]

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 [...]
Father Gets Sole Custody After Mother Goes MIA
Type of Case: Child Custody Case Result: Sole Custody - Legal and Physical Custody Awarded County: Guilford County A father in Guilford County needed to modify the child custody order for his children. The mother had been absent from the children's lives for about a year now, so he wanted to see about getting sole legal and physical custody of both minor children. He felt it didn't make sense to continue sharing legal and physical custody with the mother even though she was completely missing from the children's lives. So, he met with our Greensboro family law team to discuss his options. Challenges with Getting the Opposing Party Served A big challenge our team faced, in this case, was a procedural one -- getting the other party served. The mother was missing, and they didn't have any contact information for her. Our family law team and our client [...]
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 [...]
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. But, she was likely facing a 22-year prison sentence if convicted. Her bond was set at 1.5 million dollars. Learn how our attorney was able to get the drug trafficking charges dismissed. Getting the Drug Trafficking Charges Dismissed Upon accepting the case, our criminal defense attorney in Greensboro got to work right away.

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 [...]

Working Mother Secures Alimony for 7 Years
Greensboro Family Law Team Type of Case: Equitable Distribution, Alimony, Child Custody, and Child Support. Case Result: Consent Order resolving all issues County: Guilford County Our family attorney helped a working mother in Greensboro who separated from her husband back in 2016. Our client and her husband did not file this action in court until late 2019. Thus, there was a lot of co-mingling funds in that 3-year period of separation, which made things a bit confusing when it came time to value everything. On the date of separation, the client was making 100k more than her husband and recently started working at a job making 100k a year. But her current job is only a contracting position for 6-12 months with no guarantee of renewal. When the parties separated back in 2016, the husband moved to Boston to start a new job. Our client continued to live [...]
