Father Wins in Child Custody Modification Dispute
Type of Case: Child Custody Modification - Rule 60 Motion to Set Aside Case Result: Successfully Defended Against Rule 60 Motion and Preserved the Standing Custody Order County: Guilford County One of our Greensboro family law attorneys represented a father in a child custody modification trial in Guilford County. The mother's visitation at the time was limited to every other week. In an attempt to change this, she filed a Rule 60 Motion with the court.

Thus, it was not in the best interest of the child to spend half his time there. Analyzing the Opposing Party's Rule 60 Motion [...]

Victory – Fathers’ Visitation Restored
Case Result: Father's Visitation Restored After Motion for Contempt A child custody order is not a suggestion; it is a legally binding directive from a judge that must be followed.

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. our legal team filed [...]
