You should take a firm’s track record into consideration when choosing legal representation. Experience is essential and, while it highlights time spent in the legal arena, it would mean next to nothing without the results to back it up.

Attorney Brenden Kennedy and Paralegal Val are the total package - competent, proactive, communicative, and compassionate! I am so grateful to have been referred to this team… in dealing with an already traumatic/high-stress situation, it was a blessing to be at peace (both mind and heart) knowing they were fighting on my behalf! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
We contacted ( Brenden with NC Law Team ) earlier this year, during a very difficult time, and were quick to touch base with us. Their team was very professional, and were always quick to respond to any of my questions and concerns. The only major concern I had in the beginning was cost wise, but they managed to work with both me and my husband, which was a huge relief. Thank you for helping us with our case! If you find yourself in need of a latte am, this is definitely the team to go with.
Brenden Kennedy made me feel very confident and reassured that I would receive the best possible outcome. Things were handled promptly, and every possible detailed was covered by Mr. Kennedy. The client advocacy was outstanding and the only thing I had to do for court was show up.
Attorney Marcilliat was timely and very professional during our consultation about a Medicaid issue. He was eager to learn and listen and offered sound advice with compassion. I highly recommend this firm.
I highly recommend this law firm. The service was rendered with such professionalism and in a courteous manner. Thank you Gage Reitz for representing me.
I was recently defended by Jason St. Albans of Marcilliat & Mills. I wanted to genuinely express my appreciation to him and the firm . I had a situation that was difficult for me to deal with. Jason was both extremely knowledgable and understanding in helping me prepare . He made time to understand not only my case but how I can personally deal with everything. Without Jason this would have been allot more difficult than anticipated. I am so grateful for all his help and support. Also wanted to thank Gage for always being there when I called and needed someone. He was extremely helpful and reliable. And didn't want to forget all he did as well. Anthony G.
I messaged this office on Sunday, thinking I wouldn't hear back from them until Monday. Mr. Marcilliat called us Sunday evening. We couldn't afford their prices. If I could, I would have hired him on the spot. One of the reasons our quote was high is that we are about 3 hrs away from their offices. I would highly recommend him if you can afford him. During the initial consultation with me, he covered every detail with me professionally, patiently, and kindly. You could tell right away that he is very well-versed in criminal law. Could you do yourself a favor and call his office?
Miranda Mills and Jason St. Aubin represented me in a criminal case that took almost six years to finally get justice. The knowledge and experience of the team was exceptional, the truth was put on display to the jurors, and within three hours of deliberation they came back with a verdict of not guilty on all three charges. If it wasn't for Miranda's tenacity and Jason's expertise, I may have not seen my wife and daughter ever again. My family and I are grateful to have had this team fight for the truth.
Had a fantastic experience retaining Jason from the Charlotte office. I Had an outstanding warrant of 3 years, and Jason was able to get it dismissed before my first court date. Very thankful for his help and expertise!! Highly recommend this firm and attorney..
Jason St Aubin and his paralegal Gage were both wonderful in handling my son's felony case. Jason was especially helpful in the whole bonding out process as we were unfamiliar with how it all worked. We felt confident that we were in good hands. We were kept informed as the case progressed and then got the good news that it was dismssed! The fees were also reasonable. I never felt taken advantage of because we were not familiar with the process. Thank you Jason and Gage!
Jason St. Aubin did an amazing job on getting my case dismissed. He kept his word and there was no extra fees. Felt I was in good hands. Affordable (won’t leave your pockets dry)
Attorney Guyton helped me resolve an old case in another county. He was able to get a plea negotiated where the two felonies were dismissed! No jail time, no probation! Even the judge seemed impressed. Would definitely recommend this firm to anyone needing quality lawyer services.
Jason St. Aubin is an exceptional attorney! My family and I are beyond grateful for the incredible work he did in helping us through a First Degree Attempted Murder charge. From the beginning, Jason demonstrated patience, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to justice. He guided us through every step of the process, ensuring we understood everything and felt supported the entire way.
While other lawyers suggested plea deals, Jason believed in the innocence of my family member and fought tirelessly to prove it. Thanks to his expertise, honesty, and dedication, we achieved the best possible outcome: not guilty on all charges.
Jason is not just an outstanding lawyer; he’s also an amazing person who respected us as both clients and family. His honesty and forthrightness set him apart, and we truly felt he had our best interests at heart every step of the way.
I cannot thank Jason enough for his hard work and commitment, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation. Thank you, Jason, for everything you’ve done for us. Wishing you continued success—you deserve it!
I had the privilege of working with Trevor Guyton as my attorney, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the way he handled my case. From day one, Trevor was professional, attentive, and truly committed to achieving the best possible outcome. He took the time to explain every step of the process in a way I could understand, always made sure my questions were answered, and kept me informed throughout the entire case.
Trevor’s dedication and skill were clear in everything he did. He worked tirelessly and never made me feel like just another client he genuinely cared about my situation. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, my case was successfully closed, and I feel an enormous sense of relief and gratitude.
If you’re looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond for his clients, I highly recommend Trevor Guyton. He exceeded my expectations in every way.
I had an excellent experience working with Atty. Trevor Guyton and his team on my DUI case. From start to finish, the entire process went smoothly and ultimately in my favor.
Atty. Guyton was professional, clear, and patient in explaining every step of the process. He made sure I understood both the best and worst possible outcomes, and that gave me confidence throughout the case. The communication from his office was outstanding — they always responded in a timely manner and kept me informed on what was happening.
I’m very thankful for Atty. Guyton’s professionalism, honesty, and dedication. I highly recommend him and his team to anyone who needs strong legal representation. Would you like me to make a compact version (3–4 sentences) too — something short and smooth for quick Google posting on your phone?
We really appreciate the job Trevor did in handling & fighting our case. He was very responsive and kept us in-the-know on everything, and guided us through the process every step of the way. Hopefully we won’t have the need again, but if so - we would definitely contact and work with Trevor again. Thanks Trevor & Mikaela!
My expectations were not supported by the law, however my lawyer went the extra mile to bring my case as close as the law allowed him to my expected outcome.

Why Hire Kevin Marcilliat?
Attorney Kevin Marcilliat comes from a family of lawyers and has been defending people in North Carolina since law school, where – still just a student – he won his first not-guilty verdicts.
In his early years as a law student, he took on two criminal cases and secured not-guilty verdicts for both, a remarkable achievement. His dedication to becoming a criminal defense attorney was evident from the beginning.
The pivotal factor in Kevin’s journey as a successful advocate for clients was the invaluable guidance provided by mentors. By the time Kevin graduated from law school, he had interned at the largest public defender’s office in North Carolina, the Mecklenburg County Public Defender’s Office, and later at the Federal Public Defender for the Eastern District of North Carolina in Raleigh. Upon entering private practice, Kevin was assigned to defend his first felony case within the first week on the job.
