Criminal Defense

Protecting Your Reputation And Your Future

If you have been charged with a crime, you may be concerned about short-term consequences such as jail time, a fine or probation. However, the long-term consequences can be far more serious. A criminal conviction can affect you when you seek employment, rent an apartment, seek admission to a college or apply for a professional license. It is important to keep your record as clean as possible, since that information can be readily accessed by others.

I am attorney Rich Cassady, and I am well-known for my aggressive, strategic defense representation in the state and federal courts of North Carolina. I handle cases in Macon County, Cherokee County and beyond.
