Hero Defense Attorney Rescues Father from False Assault on a Female Charges
Sometimes, a case walks in your door and you have almost no time to prepare in order to achieve the best outcome. That's exactly what happened to one hero defense attorney here at Dummit Fradin. With only four hours to prepare, he was able to secure a not-guilty verdict in a complicated Assault on a Female case in Guilford County. The Case: An Argument Between Dad and Daughter This case truly began a decade earlier with an escalating custody dispute between our soon-to-be client and his ex. Unfortunately, their daughter was caught in the middle feeling as though she needed to show loyalty to one parent over the other. As teens tend to do, she often sided with the more lenient parent. In this instance, the sixteen-year-old child wanted to see her boyfriend one night. Our client refused her request and a normal father-daughter argument ensued. However, [...]
Case Result: Father and Son Reunited After Contempt Motion
Case Result: Father Reunited with Son After Winning Motion for Contempt For a parent, there is nothing more painful than being forcibly kept from their child. When one parent willfully violates a court order and denies the other their rightful visitation for a prolonged period, it can feel like a hopeless situation. Our firm recently represented a father in Greensboro who had been denied all visitation with his son for over a year. This case result demonstrates how a powerful legal tool—the Motion for Contempt—can break through the stalemate, enforce a parent's rights, and reunite a family. The Challenge: Over a Year of Denied Visitation and Parental Alienation Our client was in an agonizing position. He had a legally binding North Carolina child custody order that granted him specific visitation time with his son. However, for more than a year, the child's other parent completely ignored [...]
Motion for Appropriate Relief Granted in Guilford County
Our client, like many others, got a dreaded speeding ticket in Guilford County. Unfortunately, Guilford County has a new policy that makes it difficult to get a reduction on any speeding charge where the top speed is over 90 miles per hour. So, our client hired legal counsel. Attempting a Prayer for Judgement Continued Her previous lawyer helped her get a Prayer for Judgement Continued. This is a motion unique to North Carolina that allows people with traffic violations to plead guilty to an offense and ask for a Prayer for Judgement from the judge. If the judge grants the Prayer for Judgement, the offense is not entered against the defendant. It is still documented, but points are not added to the person's driving record. However, one caveat is that there's a limit to the number of Prayers for Judgement a judge can grant per household. And, the [...]
Victory – Child Custody Modification
A Dummit Fradin family law attorney in Greensboro was successful in arguing a child custody modification/ relocation case, in which her client wanted to relocate to Florida with the parties’ five minor children. The family attorney successfully argued that due to the strong bond between the children and their mother, extended family available as support in Florida and a past history of domestic violence between the parents, it was in the best interest of the children to live in Florida with their mother rather than in North Carolina, where they have lived most of their lives.

Appeal Won for Civil Revocation of a CDL
Dummit Fradin's Greensboro DWI Team Wins Civil Revocation of CDL Appeal A Greensboro client with a commercial driver's license, or CDL, was charged with DWI in Guilford County. As a result, our client was also hit with a civil revocation of his CDL, also known as a CVR. A civil revocation of a CDL can result in disqualification from using a CDL for one year. This means that CDL holders also face potentially losing their job if the civil revocation stands. One of the biggest obstacles to handling these types of cases is that clients have exactly 10 days to appeal a civil revocation of a CDL. Otherwise, the revocation is allowed to stand and it will disqualify their CDL. Fortunately, our Greensboro client advised us of his issue with only a few days left to petition for a hearing. Criminal defense attorney Patrick [...]
