Criminal Defense Attorney Serving
Clayton, North Carolina
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.
