We contacted the law office of John Fitzgerald to get advice on how to handle a charge of misdemeanor shoplifting at a local store levied against our daughter, a student at a local college. We believed in our daughter's innocence and felt the evidence was supportive of her innocence as well. Mr. Fitzgerald was very accommodating during our initial consultation and sagely explained the nuances of the North Carolina judicial system in terms we clearly understood. He provided us with a surefire option that would enable resolution of the case in an expeditious manner while preserving my daughter's integrity and removing any potential hindrances to her future aspirations.

It was obvious in the courtroom that Mr. Fitzgerald is a well-respected member of the Winston-Salem legal community with the reputation of being thorough and well prepared as acknowledged by the judge. Our daughter's court appearance went exactly as had been explained to us by Mr. Fitzgerald and his staff and that provided immense satisfaction for us. This was our first (and prayerfully last) foray into the criminal court world and having the John Fitzgerald Law firm navigate us through it proved to be the best choice under what we felt were the worst of circumstances at the time.

Professional, honest and caring are just a few of the attributes we would use to describe the law firm of John Fitzgerald. We hope to never have to use legal services for criminal accusations again, but if we found ourselves needing legal representation again, we would undoubtedly make the call to the Fitzgerald law firm! Highly recommended for those who may find themselves in unfortunate legal circumstances. Thanks for everything.

I hired John Fitzgerald for my DWI case and was extremely pleased with my experience. He and his staff were helpful, kind, and compassionate, and pleasant during a very scary, and stressful time. Perhaps more importantly, Mr. Fitzgerald's experience, professionalism, and expertise was apparent at every turn. I was found not guilty, and would highly recommend Mr. Fitzgerald to anybody who wants to give themselves the best chance possible in court.

Mr. Fitzgerald is a realistic lawyer. He constantly reassures you with his confidence and I appreciated him not sugar coating anything about my case. I would highly recommend Mr. Fitzgerald to anyone who needs representation in the future.

"I want to thank John for his professionalism, integrity, and knowledge of law. He handled my case with dignity, treating me as a person, not a criminal. I would highly recommend John if anyone should feel the need for representation. Thank you. Chris S."

When my husband and I received that 3am phone call from our 19 year old son saying he had been arrested for driving while consuming, we were at a total loss as to what to do to help him navigate the complicated and expensive legal system without destroying his future! We had no experience with this situation before and had no idea who to turn to. After searching the internet for local representation, we chose Attorney John Fitzgerald. All you have to do is read any of the many reviews on his website to immediately know that John is a professional specialist in this area of the law.

It was a very scary process with a huge learning curve for our family. John supported us by explaining all the detailed caveats of the law at our first consultation. He explained that the actual charges included Driving While Consuming Under Age 21, Speeding and DWI! He laid out all of our son's options and made professional recommendations based on years of experience.

While we felt prepared for even the worst possible outcome, we can very happily say that the outcome of our son's case was the best possible scenario. The DWI and Speeding were dismissed and the Driving While Consuming resulted in a Prayer for Judgement. He didn't even lose his driver's license! I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that without representation from Attorney John Fitzgerald, our son's case would not have ended on this positive note! John even caught and corrected a clerical error by the court which could have had unwarranted future negative repercussions.

John represented our son with genuine concern for his future and worked very hard to ensure that his lack of good judgement on that fateful evening would not destroy his future collegiate and professional life. If you find yourself in need of a second chance, I highly recommend contacting Attorney John Fitzgerald!

I recently needed a good attorney to handle a couple of serious legal matters. It is interesting how I came to choose John Fitzgerald. My case had been in continuance for over a year and I was at that time using another attorney, with whom I was not happy. While having to appear in court every three months for these continuances I was able to observe very many attorneys at work during court sessions. I was so impressed watching how John dealt with his clients in court that I hired him to take over my case. This turned out to be a truly wonderful decision. He and his staff were absolutely amazing. Going into court is a very scary and intimidating experience, but John's expertise, personality, and professionalism really made a difference. I can't thank him enough.

Dear Mr. Fitzgerald,
Thank you and your staff for the excellent manner in which you represented my daughter, Lindsey. It is difficult to find an attorney who will provide the expertise needed to give their clients the best possible opportunities within the law to maintain their innocence. My daughter's case was complicated and made more difficult by her responsiveness. You and your staff went the extra mile in order help her reach a verdict which was the best possible outcome.
Often overlooked is the organization of a law practice. I was very impressed with the individuals who support your efforts and the team effort approach. Renee seemed to always be available to add another set of ears but more importantly she was always covering the unexpected complications and providing exceptional follow up. But the team effort went beyond this as the rest of your staff was organized to help the client feel secure that their every need was their top priority. The infrastructure in your office is outstanding and the dedication of each individual puts your office far above your competitors.
The bottom line is this, you and your staff provided service which is unparalleled. My only question is, why would anyone not choose your firm when a legal need is presented? Your firm gives their clients through, dedicated and quality service. Thanks to you and each member of your staff.
Sincerely,
TWB

I recently contacted John concerning a legal matter and after talking to over 15 other lawers over the past year I found John to be very knowledgeable, careing, and an attitude of wanting to help. No other lawyer has shown these qualities with just a phone call. He has helped me without compensation and because of that he showes me he truely cares and If In the future I have need of representation I will most definately call John Fitzgerald.

"Life will take you down many roads, and some of those experiences leave you with regrets, heartaches, good memories and opportunities for growth. I recently had an opportunity to revisit some of my previous life experiences and I needed to right some wrongs. I was searching for an affordable attorney to help me on my quest and in my Google search I came across Attorney John E. Fitzgerald.

I contacted the firm and Renee, the receptionist, greeted me with such warmth and friendliness and I felt comfortable elaborating about my situation. She listened and gave me options on how Attorney Fitzgerald could assist me in getting my driver's license reinstated. I gave Renee all the pertinent information and shortly thereafter I received a call from Attorney Fitzgerald. He was equally as professional and courteous and he answered all my questions and concerns. Due to the numerous driving offenses I needed to contact another attorney in another county and Attorney Fitzgerald referred me to his attorney friend Attorney Wilson Alexander.

Attorney Fitzgerald and Attorney Alexander were able to get my driving offenses dropped to a lesser charge and as of February 21, 2013 I am officially a legal driver of the state of North Carolina.

Attorney Fitzgerald and his practice helped me put my life back on track and because of their work ethic and urgency to help me realign my life I would refer them to anyone with any type of legal problem.

Thank you Attorney John Fitzgerald, Renee and the entire staff at John E. Fitzgerald, Attorney at Law for all your help and commitment to helping the community."
