Criminal Defense Attorney Catherine E. Peebles
Since July 2016, I have been a practicing attorney in North Carolina, representing clients in thousands of cases all over NC, including Raleigh, Durham, Orange County, Johnston County, and Alamance County.
After graduating from North Carolina State University and earning a B.S. in English, I moved to North Carolina Central School of Law for my J.D. Throughout law school, I worked as a support for other criminal defense attorneys in NCCU Law School’s Criminal Defense Clinic. I was one of the first to intern with Legal Aid’s Second Chance Initiative in Wilson, Durham, and Wake County. This program opens access to legal services in low-income communities who have no access to legal help when facing complicated legal issues.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy travelling, weight lifting, and spending time with my family
My practice specializes in criminal law (domestic abuse, traffic violations, DWI, child custody, and license restoration) inside of North Carolina. In addition, I am a member of the George H. White Bar association, 10th District Bar, Wake County Bar, and affiliated with the Black Lawyers Association. I have assisted in thousands of criminal cases in NC.
If you are facing criminal charges, give our office a call to schedule an appointment and discuss your case. An experienced criminal attorney can dramatically change the outcome of your case and ensure that your rights are protected.
Experience as a Public Defender in NC
Prior to my own practice, I worked in the Durham County Public Defender’s Office for three and a half years, gaining extensive trial experience. I primarily handled DWI charges, traffic violations, and probation violations, assisting my clients in both District and Superior Criminal Court.
Public defenders work for the people and defend the accused. Everyone has the right to zealous representation to protect them and their interest in every case. In addition, we uphold and ensure that North Carolina’s legal system treats individuals fairly and preserves their rights.
MISSION STATEMENT
Our philosophy that everyone deserves top-notch defense and aggressive advocates to protect your interests. We will keep you well-informed of your constitutional rights, as well as ensure that those rights are not violated.
Facing criminal charges can be stressful, while dealing with court and police can be even more confusing. We will ensure that criminal charges have the least possible impact on your life and handle your case with precision and diligence.
Process for new clients
After calling and speaking with our front desk, we begin the process of making notice of appearances and scheduling follow-ups to gather information about your case. This notice of appearance is a formal document submitted to notify the court that you are now represented by an attorney.
Later, we schedule in-person or Zoom appointments to meet and discuss the details of your case. If you later find that you have a schedule conflict, you may call and reschedule this meeting.
Give us a call (919-926-0673) to speak with our front desk, and we can schedule a time to talk about your case.
Proper Representation Improves Your Outcomes
Hiring a criminal attorney to represent your interests in a case is important and can vastly change the outcome of charges.
Not Guilty of DWI
In 2022, I worked with a Spanish-speaking client charged with a DWI. The police officers in charge of the case, and who conducted the stop, took advantage of my client’s language skills in order to escalate the charges. My client was later found not guilty.
Probation Possession of Firearm
A client of mine with prior convictions was charged with two counts of Possession of a Firearm by Felon and was offered 2 years in prison. After working with my office and speaking to the court, we were able to reduce this sentence to Supervised Probation.
Fighting Domestic Violence Protective Orders (DVPOs)
In 2024, a client was charged with domestic violence and issued a Domestic Violence Protective Orders (DVPOs). Her charges were serious, and she faced the prospect of completely losing custody of her minor child, but we were able to dismiss the DVPO and return custody on a temporary basis.
