Overall

Damon is an aggressive, thorough attorney. He's passionate about his work, and he does a good job. I am so glad I hired him to handle my case. I firmly believe I wouldn't have gotten as good of an outcome if I didn't have him on my side.

The Chetson Firm, PLLC

Child Custody and Visitation
If you’re convicted of sexual assault in a Raleigh courtroom, you may face penalties that extend beyond your sentence or probation. For example, you may be required to register as a sex offender. That will impact where you live, child custody, and your reputation within your community.
Child Abuse
Starting with an experienced criminal defense lawyer in Raleigh can help your case succeed. We’ve handled many complex, severe cases, from shootings to child abuse. If you’re concerned about your future, we’re here to help you and your family recover.

Criminal Defense
As a Board Certified Criminal Defense Lawyer, Damon Chetson also represents professionals accused of misconduct or ethical violations by the licensing agencies that regulate conduct by doctors, lawyers, psychologists, therapists, massage therapists, coaches, and trainers.
DUI/DWI
Damon Chetson and his firm are highly professional. I never had any issues with getting in touch if I had questions regarding my case and they always sent reminders for upcoming court dates. I had a bad experience with a previous attorney regarding my DWI case and felt I needed a far more professional, tenacious, and successful attorney and that is why I then hired Damon. My case was long and drawn out but Damon was on top of my case every step of the way. He at no point let me down and when it came time for my case to get tried, he was excellent, on the ball, and won my case. All of the charges were dropped and dismissed. I would highly recommend Damon Chetson to anyone and if a friend, or especially a family member, ever needed a fantastic attorney and a real heavy hitter, I would tell them to call Damon asap because I know they would be in good hands.
Sex Crimes
If you’ve been accused of sexual assault, you may need to act now to protect your future. Talk to a sexual assault lawyer in Raleigh to learn more about your options for a defense.
Fraud
One of his earliest memories is of his father, a school teacher, being called before a federal Grand Jury to testify about a former employer who had engaged in tax fraud. Mr. Chetson understands the terror that people face when confronted with criminal investigations and need to provide affordable, aggressive defense in all cases.
Robbery
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Damon Chetson graduated law school from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 2009. After a brief stint working with colleagues at the Wake County Public Defender’s office where he secured a not-guilty to robbery charges in his first trial while still a law student, Mr. Chetson founded his own firm where he has represented more than 1,200 clients in criminal cases large and small during the past decade.
Burglary
You may be facing misdemeanor or felony charges, which are punishable by jail or prison time, probation, fines, community service, and other penalties. For example, if you are convicted of first-degree murder, you could spend life in prison or even be sentenced to death. A burglary conviction could land you in prison for up to six years.
Theft
Misdemeanors
Sexual battery – Although sexual battery is the least severe of these crimes, being a Class A1 misdemeanor, if convicted, it will still greatly impact your life for years to come.
Embezzlement
For more than a decade, Damon Chetson has defended people accused of the most serious criminal offenses in state and federal criminal courtrooms in North Carolina. In the early years of his practice, he focused on misdemeanors and Driving While Impaired offenses. Since 2015, he has concentrated on the most serious criminal charges – from murder to white collar fraud and embezzlement to sex-related offenses.
Drug Crimes
In September 2021, almost nine months before the vote, Damon helped raise the issue of a Raleigh Police Detective who had arrested more than 20 black men on fake drug charges. Two months later the City of Raleigh settled the lawsuit with many of the wrongfully accused for $2 million.
Assault
Under North Carolina law, individual assault and battery charges are considered a single offense: assault. The assault is the attempt to be violent with another person without their consent and the battery is the physical act of the assault. Your Raleigh assault and battery lawyer can give you a better idea of what penalties you’re facing after reviewing the details of your case.
Murder
Having represented professionals facing sex- and financial-related offenses before criminal courts, Mr. Chetson deploys his proven skills as a winning trial advocate with more than two dozen federal and state criminal trials, including in murder cases, to ensure that his clients receive the very best defense before licensing boards that seek to deprive them of their ability to earn a livelihood.
Identity Theft
Mr. Chetson achieved a 24 day sentence followed by post-release supervision in a federal white collar wire, fraud, and identity theft case involving nearly a dozen co-conspirators.
Homicide
As a violent crime lawyer, Mr. Chetson (and co-counsel) also saved a client from the death penalty. The client had been charged with a triple homicide in Wake County, which was presented in the Wake County Superior Court.
Arson
Kidnapping
In 2017, he represented a gang member in a federal kidnapping offense involving the abduction of a prosecutor’s father orchestrated by one of the founding members of the United Blood Nations, a street gang formed in 1993 on Rikers Island in New York. The case received national attention, and involved the dramatic rescue of the victim from a closet in Atlanta shortly before he was supposed to have been killed by the abductors. The case involved millions of pages of discovery, and rare use of Special Administrative Measures by the Department of Justice. Mr. Chetson and his co-counsel were able to convince the jury that their client had not participated in the alleged abduction of a defense lawyer in the case, and the jury found that that abduction was not an object of the conspiracy.
Prostitution
Federal sexual offenses – Federal sex crimes cover more than child pornography. These charges may also include transporting a minor across state lines for sexual purposes, as well as prostitution.
