Thomas H. Clifton-
For over two decades, I've been fighting for my clients rights in the North Carolina Criminal Court System.
From serious charges like Murder, DWI/DUI, and Drug Possession to minor traffic offenses, I've fought them all. Before I started my practice and began defending clients, I served as a prosecutor in the same courts where you’re being charged.
I know how the other side thinks and I know the system like the back of my hand. My approach is simple: treat every client like family and treat every case as if it were my own.
So whether you have a minor traffic ticket or more serious charges like Driving While Impaired (DWI) or Driving While License Revoked (DWLR), you deserve an attorney who's aggressive, knowledgeable, and fully focused on your needs.
Fighting for your rights in the following practice areas...
Traffic Tickets
Speeding, reckless driving, or running a red light—traffic tickets might seem minor, but they can lead to serious consequences like points on your license, increased insurance rates, and even license suspension. I’ll help you fight the ticket and work to reduce or dismiss the charges.
DWI/DUI Drunk Driving
A DWI conviction can have a lasting impact on your life. With my experience as a former prosecutor, I know what it takes to challenge the evidence and defend your case. From questioning the legality of the stop to challenging the results of breath or blood tests, I will fight for your rights and work to minimize the impact on your future.
DWLR-License Revocations
Driving while license revoked (DWLR) can lead to further penalties and complications, but there are often ways to reduce the charges or get your license reinstated. I’ll help you understand your options and work with you to restore your driving privileges
.
DMV-License Restoration
Having a revoked or suspended license can make life incredibly difficult. We focus on helping our clients navigate the process of restoring their driving privileges in North Carolina. Let us help you get back on the road legally.
Drug Charges
Drug charges—whether possession or distribution—carry serious consequences. As a former prosecutor, I know the tactics used to build cases against you and the best strategies we can use to attack them. I will fight to protect your rights and work toward the best possible outcome for your case.
Criminal Defense
North Carolina Felony and Misdemeanor offenses from the District Court level through the Superior Trial Court level including Murder, Assaults, Sex Offenses, Drug Offenses, Burglary, Breaking and Entering, Larceny and all White Collar crimes.

Charles DesChamps
I reside in GA and thanks to attorney; Thomas H. Clifton who came highly recommended for his experience, professionalism and honesty. I rate 100 out of 100!
Thanks to his expertise I didn't even have to return to NC where the case originated. With my job in possible jeopardy, he simply explained my options included the facts and was able to successfully get my case dismissed!
Through all these efforts I
was able to retain my CDL. Again, huge appreciation to the office of Thomas H. Clifton
