    “Words can’t express how relieved I am that the charges were dismissed...”

    Now that the dust has settled, I want to thank you and Roger again for your help with my son’s case. Words can’t express how relieved I am that the charges were dismissed and I know he feels the same and will use it as a positive motivator going forward. Your professionalism and expertise made that possible. I also appreciate your straightforward, clear and constant communication with us throughout a long and uncertain period which helped put our minds at ease as much as possible. He and I talked about it on the ride home and we’re extremely grateful you were in his corner.

    “You have no idea how much I appreciate all of the work”
    I was able to have the interlock restriction removed from my license and the device removed from my vehicle without issue. You have no idea how much I appreciate all of the work and effort you and Roger put forth for my case. I had a terrible lapse in judgement that evening, and the consequences could have been quite severe. The two of you made the process much smoother than I could have hoped for. Thanks again.

    “He possibly saved me from losing my job.”
    Mr. Crowe represented me in a DWI case that I thought I would have no chance of getting off. He explored all options and took the time to explain our strategy prior to the court hearings. He is very knowledgeable and really knows how to work the courtroom. In the end, Mr. Crowe was able to get the charges dropped and we are now seeking to have the charges expunged. I highly recommend you hire Mr. Crowe if you find yourself in the same situation as me. He possibly saved me from losing my job.

    “Crowe Law Firm stands above the rest”
    If you need someone to fight for what is right, Crowe Law Firm stands above the rest. I first needed Roger Crowe in 2005, and again in 2018...for issues surrounding the same case! Roger Crowe and Matt Godwin went well beyond the call of duty, searching files sent to the cellars and placing numerous calls to Raleigh, Why? Because it was the right thing to do. Crowe Law Firm, the team that fights for you.

    “I could not be more pleased with my experience in hiring Matt Godwin as my attorney.”
    I could not be more pleased with my experience in hiring Matt Godwin as my attorney. I was charged with DWI (.09) and believed I was looking at a surefire conviction. I was dreading giving up my license, paying a lot of money, and dealing with other DWI pitfalls. BUT, along the way, I was referred to Matt. He listened to my circumstances and quickly determined a course of action that ultimately was successful in finding me 'not guilty'. The key was Matt's experience in the courtroom. He is an expert in optimizing your chances. Matt is very professional and is backed up by a great staff at Crowe Law Firm to guide you through the whole ordeal. I am indebted to Matt and highly recommend him.
    “Thankfully I hired Roger Crowe he got everything dismissed!”
    This would have been my second D.U.I and my case wasn't looking so good. Thankfully I hired Roger Crowe he got everything dismissed! I had zero court cost and can get my license reinstated. He is definitely the laywer to get in Carteret county! He is seriously the best!

    “Mr. Godwin is a lifesaver and an excellent lawyer.”
    I was charged with a DWI on New Years Eve of last year and I contacted Matthew Godwin. He was affordable, I was able to pay in monthly payments for my convenience and he put me at ease. My case was continued for a year because of me living out of town and the arresting police officer not showing up. When my case was finally seen by the judge, I was not convicted of a DWI! Mr. Godwin is a lifesaver and an excellent lawyer.
