About

DWI & CRIMINAL DEFENSE "From Stop Signs to Murder"Criminal and traffic cases can be more complex than they seem, and if you are in the hands of an inexperienced attorney who does not know what he or she is doing, you can end up with awful results. You don't have to worry about that with me. I've been practicing in Charlotte for over 30 years. My practice is focused entirely on traffic violations, misdemeanors, and felony charges. Some attorneys try to practice in several areas of the law, but I concentrate on one area only so that I can maintain the highest level of expertise in my field. If you are interested a little background about me, I am a North Carolina native. I attended Charlotte Country Day, and then Duke University, where I was proudly the mascot for the Blue Devils. I received a scholarship to attend law school at Mercer University in Georgia. I have two wonderful kids and am extremely active in their school and sports activities, both as a volunteer for the schools and as a softball/baseball coach for many years.

I was charged with speeding and was very nervous and confused about the court process and my options. I was leaving for College on the scheduled court date. Attorney Barnett handled my case from start to finish. My charges were reduced from speeding which will not impact my insurance and some court cost/fines were waived. This College Student is very Thankful for Attorney Barnett’s expertise!

I was recommended Kevin Barnett from a friend who had hired him previously, saying he always gets the job done. My friend was right. Kevin made me feel comfortable and confident when talking to him about my case. I had a speeding ticket (going over 80) in Mecklenburg county, and he got everything reduced as much as possible as well as waiving the court cost. Kevin is definitely someone you can turn to.

Kevin and his legal team headed by Tammy helped me resolve a speeding ticket. My work schedule is demanding and he was able to take care of everything over the phone. Kevin had my ticket reduced significantly and avoided the potentially excessive court fees.

I have known and hired Kevin for several years now. I was referred to him by my fiancé for traffic violations but have also had to use him with minor criminal charges. Kevin is extremely good at what he does, he knows and has good relations with the judges and DA's which helps when you have a difficult case. Most of the time you don't even have to appear at court because he can get the issue resolved with the DA before hand. I have referred him to anyone who has had a legal issue in Mecklenburg County and I will continue to as long as Kevin stays in practice.

Kevin Barnett will handle your case with professionalism. He will work his hardest to defend your case. He helped me personally and he is great guy with a good personality. Though all the adversity, he won my case. I wouldn't choose any other attorney over him.

I contacted Kevin in regards to a tough legal situation I was facing. I had 7 Felonies and 6 Misdemeanors pending. Kevin had me booked for the charges and immediately released. When I went to court for my final appearance Kevin started the day talking with the Judge and DA working far more than any other lawyer in the court room. When it was all said and done I received one Misdemeanor with a prayer for judgment, which is basically no fines, no conviction, no punishment. Kevin is amazing! He knows what he is doing and he gives 100%!!! I highly recommend him, he is easy to work with and will do a great job. Also his entire staff is humble and kind.
