About

Former Wake County Asst District Attorney I grew up in Raleigh, graduating from Ravenscroft School in 1990 and from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1994.In 1995, I enrolled in The Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University. Following my first year and during my second year at Campbell, I worked as a law clerk at DeMent, Askew, Gammon and Dement. During my third year, I interned at the Wake County District Attorney's office.Upon graduation and admission to the North Carolina State Bar in 1998, I worked as an associate for a brief period at DeMent, Askew, Gammon & DeMent, opting to become an Assistant District Attorney in Durham County. When a position at the Wake County District Attorney's office came open approximately 3 months later, I jumped at the chance to "come home" to Raleigh as an Assistant District Attorney.During my tenure at the District Attorney's Office in Raleigh, I prosecuted felonies, misdemeanors, DWI's, and other criminal offenses.In 2000, I was approached by Rick Gammon to work with Rick at DeMent, Askew. I readily accepted the offer, rapidly building my own criminal defense practice as Rick and I worked closely together on a large number of high profile homicide, sex offense and narcotics cases in both state and federal court. Upon Rick's retirement, I remained a partner at DeMent, Askew until moving and becoming a partner at Sandman, Finn & Fitzhugh in July, 2008.Member: Member of Bar of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, North Carolina Bar Association, North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers, American Bar Association, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

Berryman "Trey" Fitzhugh assisted me in the receipt of a report that was important to me personally. He was polite and professional and treated me with respect. I cannot say enough about his courtesy and understanding of my request. I can fully appreciate why he only receives the highest level reviews as he earns these through his positive interaction with his clients and also those needed in the court system.

Trey is a passionate attorney who works super hard to win your case. I hired him for a DUI case which was dismissed, thanks to his amazing skills as an attorney. Also, he is kind and funny, very easy to get along with. His prices are reasonable also.

I hired Mr. Fitzhugh for a DUI matter and was found not-guilty. This attorney was highly recommended to me by a friend, and I am so pleased with the outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend to any one of my family or friends.

Mr. Fitzhugh was very informative, he and his staff kept me up to date with all court dates, and what to expect on said court date. I would highly recommend Mr. Fitzhugh to anyone who has been charged with dwi.

Trey is an outstanding attorney and an asset to anyone needing representation in a criminal court. I could not have asked for a better attorney. He and his assistant Jennifer returned all my calls and were there for any questions that I could come up with. He was forthright with me from initial contact to the end. Very professional and he does what he says.....he fights for his clients.

Fitzhugh has now represented me two times. He has gone out of his way to call me and speak to me one on one! Our conversations have been fantastic and have completely put me at ease! Both times he has represented me he has "won" the case! I always recommend him to anyone that needs a reliable, personable, and superb lawyer! His staff have been wonderful and extremely patient with my 101 questions!

Mr. Fitzhugh was very supportive throughout the court process, he explained all procedures of the courts thoroughly. He understood my situation and was a staunch advocate for my case. After the charges were dismissed Mr. Fitzhugh promptly informed me of the expungement procedure and his assistant, Jennifer immediately contacted me to resolve my case and get my life back.
