Juvenile Law

Sam Dixon and Meader Harriss represent young people in trouble with the law. Teens caught fighting at school or with alcohol or marijuana at a teenage party often face serious charges. Born and raised in Eastern North Carolina, our criminal defense lawyers understand local customs and traditions. As attorneys  practicing in the region for a number of years, they also know the criminal justice system and the courts of the area. If Sam Dixon could give young people and their parents just one piece of advice when dealing with law enforcement, it would be, "You must come talk to me before talking to anyone else."
