Criminal Defense Attorney Serving

Attorney Aleta Ballard

Aleta R. Ballard, Esq

Attorney at Law

After graduating from Wake Forest University School of Law in 2006, I started working in the criminal justice system as a prosecutor. It quickly became apparent that there was a real need for criminal defense attorneys who fight hard for their client's best interests. Every day, I saw people in the courtroom who needed quality defense services at a price they could afford. So I decided to open my firm and focus my practice on helping people who have been arrested and/or faced with criminal charges. My experience on both sides of the courtroom provides valuable insight into the prosecutorial argument and how the judge might view your case. If you've been charged with a crime in Smithfield or Clayton, NC, put my fiery personality, extensive legal knowledge, and strong litigation skills to work for you and your case today.

If you are facing a traffic violations charge or have an outstanding ticket, don't just pay the fine. No charge or ticket is too trivial for a strong defense.

Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) is one of the most common and severe types of traffic violations. While the plan might have been to have a designated driver or call to a friend, Uber or Lyft, you may get behind the wheel believing you are fit to drive and find yourself facing a serious DWI charge. Let me help you take care of your charge so you can have a chance at keeping it off your record, having the fine reduced, or even a dismissal.
