Welsh and Avery handled a speeding ticket for me. I'm all through the process communication was excellent. Consistently under-promised and over-delivered

Mr. Welch was able to have my felony case dropped in court, without me even being there. This man can work magic.

When my son was 21 yrs. old he was arrested for being involved in a stupid fight. Charges were dropped...but unfortunately we later found out charges stay on your record even if not prosecuted. Chris Welch's Law Office was swift in action to get an Expunction Order processed through the court system. We were very happy with the whole process from start to finish. He took our information, explained the process & what our options were and handled it for us at an extremely reasonable fee. Thank you for all your hard work!! You are appreciated!!

He was able to get my ticket dismissed. All interactions were done via phone or email. Which I loved. Only hiccup was one payment wasn't annotated on my file properly which postponed my case from being closed by 2 months, not a big deal. Great service and his legal assistant was very pleasant and super helpful.

He did exactly what we had discussed, though I do not wish to discuss in much detail, and for this me and mine cannot thank his Firm and him directly enough. If your past and circumstances seem to try and darken a day, and all you have been doing is try to move forward for your family, be honest with him and he will do what he can but he will also not lie to you. They kept me very up to date with their plans and are friendly people.

We hired Mr. Welch to represent us at literally the last moment possible before our court case the following morning. His staff was helpful and facilitated our meeting with no hesitation. Although the timing wasn't ideal, Mr. Welch took our case, went over scenarios, and assured us he would be there for us. We felt relieved and ready! He handled the case professionally and was able to get it dismissed, which was all that we were hoping for. Truly a blessing to meet him and we will definitely utilize his services if ever needed in the future.

I hired Mr. Welch to represent me on several occasions for speeding tickets that I received. He has always represented me professionally and had my tickets reduced to improper equipment. The cost for his representation was very reasonable. His office staff were always professional and friendly as well.

I received a speeding ticket two months ago. Being incredibly paranoid about insurance premiums skyrocketing and getting points on my license, I reached out to Mr. Welch. His paralegal, Sarah, was incredibly helpful, professional, and responded to any questions in a timely manner. I had my ticket reduced to an non-moving 'Improper Equipment' violation without any points being added to my license or my insurance going up. I hope I don't need legal services again, but if I do, I will absolutely hire Mr. Welch.

I highly recommend Mr. Christopher Welch and his firm. Everything was handled in a very professional and timely manner and everyone was very polite. That is not an experience I have seen others have with attorneys in my own town. This is the first time I have ever had the need for an attorney and hopefully the last but even under these circumstances Mr. Welch and the office staff made it a very pleasant experience. I'm happy to report that my case was dismissed.

I have hired Mr. Welch on two separate occasions for offenses that were about 10 years apart. Mr. Welch law firm has always delivered and makes things better. He is an awesome attorney, and his paralegal Ms. Sarah is wonderful. Thank you Mr. Welch for clearing dry bones that were buried in Jacksonville, NC. You are a true professional and I appreciate it.
