Over that time he gained an unparalleled level of experience handling thousands of cases ranging from DUI and traffic matters to murder. He approaches his trial practice with focused consistency and is a dedicated and fearless advocate for his clients. Alex says, “People accused of crimes often need someone to walk through a journey with them that may feel shameful or frightening who can provide a different perspective on that self view. They need to know someone is in their corner that they believe will fight for them when they need it most .”The son of ministers, Alex, too, is a licensed minister drawn to service through gratitude. He lives in Durham with his wife and kids, and their tightly knit family group all close by.
