Our criminal defense practice focuses on all types of misdemeanor and felony offenses, including DWI and traffic violation
If you are charged with a criminal offense, we urge you to seek the advice of a competent and qualified High Point criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. A single conviction can lead to severe penalties, including financial hardship, incarceration and a criminal record that could impact you for the rest of your life.
DUI/DWI
DWI charges: Drunk driving charges can happen to anyone and the potential consequences are severe. We will examine all aspects of your traffic stop and arrest in an effort to attack the prosecution's case.
Wrongful Death
In many cases of wrongful death and accidental death, North Carolina law allows only monetary awards as a means of justice and accountability. While legal wins will not bring a loved one back, they are the avenue provided to you to hold responsible parties accountable for their negligence, which has cost you so dearly.
Traffic Violations
Traffic violations: From speeding tickets to driving with a revoked license, we are committed to helping you protect your driving privileges and minimizing the consequences of traffic-related criminal charges.
Misdemeanors
At Schoch & Schoch we defend clients throughout the Piedmont Triad against any kind of felony or misdemeanor charge. We thoroughly explore all available defenses in your case, investigate how to prove your version of the facts, search for flaws in the prosecution's case and seize any opportunity to have your charges dismissed.
Drug Crimes
Drug charges: From minor possession charges to more serious drug distribution charges, we will protect your rights and make every effort to help reach a favorable outcome.
Assault
Violent criminal charges: Assault charges are serious and a conviction can follow you for the rest of your life. If you have been charged with a violent crime, it is important to seek legal counsel as soon as possible.
Our High Point lawyers represent clients on all sides of business disputes. Our clients have included business owners, partners, shareholders, employees, contractors, competitors and many others.
If you are hurt on the job while working for a small company, you may not be eligible for workers' compensation through traditional avenues. We can help you recover the damages you deserve. We will work to find alternate insurance coverage of the employer or company that can apply to cover your injury. These policies can range from building coverage to auto insurance or a stacking of multiple policies.
Dangerous property conditions: Property owners have a legal duty to keep their land free from hazards. If you were hurt in a slip-and-fall accident or have suffered an injury due to property neglect, we can help you pursue a premises liability claim.
Eminent Domain
At Schoch & Schoch our practice in land condemnation is focused on helping individuals and businesses involved in property disputes. Whether you are a business owner or shareholder in the midst of a dispute, or a landowner caught in the middle of an eminent domain issue, it is important that you have an experienced attorney who can help you navigate these complex legal issues.
