MALE VOICE: The very first day I decided to practice law, I made a commitment to myself. I just wanted to be someone people could trust to represent their interests, to fight for them and keep high ethical standards and give people faith in their legal system and their government. That's been important to my family for a long time. And it's been important to me all my life. It's the way I was raised. And it's the guiding principle behind everything that I do. As part of a survey conducted by Business North Carolina Magazine, I was among the top three percent of all criminal defense attorneys in North Carolina. Everyone talks a good game. But I live it. I'll walk the extra mile for you, however long it takes.
