About
I joined Roberts Law Group as an associate in 2014 and was made a partner in the firm in 2016. Presently, I am the partner in charge of the firm's Wilmington office, where I focus on defending state and federal felony charges all across Eastern NC. Since being employed with Roberts Law Group, I have focused my practice on serious felony cases in both state and federal courts across North Carolina and selectively in other jurisdictions. To date, I have handled criminal cases in 63 of North Carolina's 100 counties, as well as all three of its federal districts. Just a few examples of my recent success include:(1) Securing the outright dismissal of a charge of First Degree Murder in a self defense shooting in Eastern North Carolina (which received national attention in a feature article in Concealed Carry Magazine);(2) Apearing as counsel pro hac vice in a federal fraud case in the Southern District of Florida, where I ultimately secured the release of my client from federal prison after his sentence was cut in half; (3) Clearing a client from a false rape accusation in New Hanover Couny;(3) Earning a jury verdict of not guilty in a felony drug trafficking case in Wake County Superior Court, ;(4) Securing the dismissal of a Robbery with a Dangerous Weapon charge in Richmond County Superior Court, and(5) Avoiding charges for a client in a federal fraud probe. During my time in law school, I developed a passion for zealously advocacting for the rights of those accused with crimes while serving as an intern at both the Mecklenburg County Public Defender’s Office and the Federal Public Defender for the Eastern District of North Carolina in Raleigh. Immediately following law school, I enhanced my experience and advocacy skills during my time as an associate with a small firm in the mountains of Western North Carolina, where I defended over 200 misdemeanor and felony cases in both District and Superior Court over the course of only 18 months. I firmly believe that, regardless of whether someone is charged with a minor misdemeanor or a serious felony, each client deserves to be treated with the utmost respect and an unwavering commitment to the protection of their Constitutional rights. Whether it is by avoidance, acquittal, or plea negotiation, I will continue to seek the best possible outcome in each case.

Against all odds, case was dismissed. The court room was like an episode from Law and Order. Always informed, always honest, best lawyer money could pay for. DUI charge dismissed when presented facts against the officer and case.
Kevin Marcilliat was hired to help resolve a probation/parole issue that was making it impossible to work out of state on a job that was critical to becoming financially independent from other family members. Kevin's fees were more than reasonable and he kept in constant contact with updates almost daily. He was upfront from day one as to the possibilities that may or may not occur in the case and it was easy to reach him whenever I had a concern, I never had to wait long for an answer. After sending in all the necessary documents Kevin needed concerning the case, Kevin was able to get the three year supervised probation dropped completely and very quickly too. The outcome from Kevin's representation and work on the case was more than I expected. I had initially anticipated the probation to go to three years of unsupervised probation, instead it was dropped completely. I would definitely more than recommend Kevin Marcilliat to anyone who needs an attorney that really listens to you and goes through your case thoroughly. He just showed through both his words and actions, that the case was important to him and that the client really matters.
In September I forgot I had a .380 in my backpack when going through security at the Wilmington airport. The DA has also recently taken a tougher stance on any gun charges due to a spike in gun violence in New Hanover County. Kevin was able to get my charge dropped at the first court date. He has been great with communication & with guidance in terms of what to prepare to make a strong case. I appreciate your help Kevin!!
I HIGHLY recommend Roberts Law Group! I came to them scared out of my mind because I had been arrested on a warrant, and charged with a felony regarding a crime that I did not commit. Unfortunately, we live in a time where you are guilty until proven innocent, and as person of color, it's even more terrifying especially when you didn't commit the crime., Anyway, Kevin and his paralegal Cailin were absolutely AMAZING from start to finish. They were great with communication and expectations. Kevin made sure that everything was taken care of in a timely manner and Cailin updated me every step of the way. She was always so polite and professional. The outcome was exactly what we had hoped for and I am so grateful to have been able to work with them. If you are looking for a great criminal attorney, Kevin is the right one for you.
Kevin did a great job assisting with a situation that put my professional license and career at risk. Kevin not only was able to get the charges dismissed but an expunction granted (when typically not allowed) which allowed me to maintain my career and my professional license.
our family ran into a first time scary situation we luckily found Roberts Law Firm and Matthew Marcilliat was assigned to work our case. It was a painless process. He was able to put our minds at ease and gave us instructions and explain the process so that we were able to understand each step. He was always there with us throughout the entire process. Sabina the paralegal assistant was wonderful as well. She went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We are very grateful with the service we received and recommend them if you ever need a professional friendly group to assist you.
Long story short. I moved away to Greensboro to attend college after high school in 2000. Around 2003/04 my childhood home became vacant, however my mail was still going there. Someone obtained blank checks that were mailed there and used them without my knowledge. I moved to Maryland after college in 2004. Fast forward 16 years later, I ran a background check on myself and discovered these fraudulent checks and cases against me in New Hanover County dating back to 2004. I contacted Kevin and the firm. I explained everything I knew and didn't know. Kevin sounded confident that he would be able to assist. I hired Kevin. I flew down in Feb of 2020 and appeared before the sheriff to be served on these charges. Once I left Kevin and his team handled everything. They got these charges dismissed and I also re-hired them to get them expunged. I feel they were affordable and efficient. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Kevin did an outstanding job with my case! He made me feel comfortable with what was going on in a very uncomfortable situation. Kevin would answer all my questions for the case and could explain everything to my understanding. His Paralegal, Cailin, was very persistent in getting documents and helping with the case. Kevin fought hard in defending me and was able to get my federal charges dismissed.
Kevin helped me get my sentence reduced greatly after meeting with the DA. He was very transparent from the beginning and ended up under promising and over delivering. Much appreciated!
Excellent staff !! Cailin and Kevin worked real hard quickly to get pertinent information for my case. I would always recommend Kevin for any law problems should they arise. Aaron
