Clayton Criminal Defense Attorney

Fighting for your rights and freedom throughout North Carolina

If you have been accused of a state or federal crime, I can provide you with an aggressive defense. I know that a criminal conviction, no matter how small, can greatly affect your family, career, reputation, freedoms and even your immigration status. If you are convicted, there is a lot at stake — and the consequences can include:

Jail time Large fines

Probation Restitution to crime victims

Preparing clients as if every case is going to trial

I am Robert S. Pleasant, a Clayton criminal defense attorney who prepares every case as if it is going to trial. My thorough preparation and experience allows me to build a strong defense for you whether you are charged with a misdemeanor or a felony. I understand North Carolina’s statutes regarding these crimes and will protect your rights. If you are arrested, I provide you with the defense you deserve. I determine if the charges against you can be dismissed, reduced or expunged to keep your record clean.  I know the results I achieve for you may have a lasting impact on your life.

I prepare the aggressive defense you deserve on the following matters:

Felonies Misdemeanors DWI Traffic violations

Sex crimes and rape Drug offenses White collar crimes Juvenile crimes

North Carolina DWI and traffic violations

North Carolina has strict laws and penalties regarding driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. I can navigate you through the complex drunk driving laws.

In addition to DWI charges, I handle all traffic matters, including:

Speeding tickets Reckless driving Driving with a suspended license

Driving with a revoked license Road rage
