Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

At the Law Office of Matthew J. Davenport, we find and execute the criminal defense strategies that can best protect your future academic and professional interests. We focus on two objectives: defeating the current charge and protecting your long-term interests. We understand the importance of keeping your record clean, knowing that your future success might depend on it. As a result, we take a lot of cases to trial when we can't get them dismissed or deferred along the way.

North Carolina criminal convictions, whether by guilty plea or verdict, create permanent records that normally cannot be expunged. That’s why our law firm concentrates on ways to resolve cases that will preserve your right to expungement. Criminal defense attorney, Matt Davenport, is a former Pitt County prosecutor who has trained many of the current assistant district attorneys and law enforcement officers. Today, he helps his clients confront and overcome difficult criminal defense problems using his insight and experience.

Practice Areas Description

- Underage DUI

At the Law Office of Matthew J. Davenport, we help drivers under 21 resolve underage DWI or DUI charges. If you have been arrested for drinking and driving before your 21st birthday, contact us in Greenville to learn how you can benefit from the representation of a skilled defense lawyer.


- Student Offenses

As the home of East Carolina University and Pitt Community College, the Greenville area offers a rich academic and social environment for young people from North Carolina, other states, and even overseas. The freedom of campus life is full of temptations, however, and college and university students sometimes find themselves in more trouble than they can easily get out of.


- Speeding and Traffic Tickets

If you have been cited for speeding or any other moving violation in Greenville or the surrounding area, think twice before you pay the ticket. Many traffic violations carry points that count against your driver's license, and too many points can result in suspension. At the Law Office of Matthew J. Davenport, we advise clients about their options for resolving traffic tickets without increasing the risk of a license suspension. Contact us in Greenville for a free consultation about your case.


- Resisting Arrest

Especially when alcohol figures into the equation, it's easy for young people to get into further trouble by complicating a traffic violation or disorderly conduct arrest with such additional charges as fleeing to elude police, resisting arrest, or even assault on a public official.


- Prescription Fraud

If you're under investigation or arrest for unlawful possession of controlled substances or prescription fraud, your chances for a favorable outcome will improve a lot if you get legal counsel before the formal charges are filed. Contact a knowledgeable defense lawyer at the Law Office of Matthew J. Davenport in Greenville.


- Out-of-State Drivers

North Carolina traffic citations present a clear choice to the driver who receives one: either pay the fine or appear in court on a certain day to fight the ticket. What the citation form doesn't tell you is that you can pursue a third option which is especially convenient for out-of-state drivers — you can appear in court through a lawyer without actually having to be there yourself.


- Fraud and Forgery

At the Law Office of Matthew J. Davenport in Greenville, we help people resolve felony or misdemeanor charges of fraud under North Carolina law. If you are under investigation or indictment for offenses such as check kiting or embezzlement, contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer at our office for a free consultation.


- Expungement

Because much of our practice involves defense of misdemeanor crimes, our clients are usually just as much concerned about the long-term consequences of a conviction as they are about their immediate exposure to punishment. It's not enough to beat the charge — we also need to protect the future opportunities for our clients. Contact the Law Office of Matthew J. Davenport in Greenville to learn how our experience with expungement can benefit you.


- Fake ID

At the Law Offices of Matthew J. Davenport, we represent local and out-of-state students who are caught with fake IDs in bars, liquor stores, or other settings. For dependable advice about the best approach in your case, contact an experienced defense lawyer at our office in Greenville.


- DWI Defense Seminars

With his practice squarely focused on DWI defense, Greenville trial attorney Matt Davenport has earned a reputation as an effective lecturer and seminar leader in advanced defense techniques. If you need an attorney to advise you about your options in a drunk driving case, consider hiring the lawyer that other lawyers depend on for solid insights and practice tips. Contact the Law Office of Matthew J. Davenport for a free consultation.


- DWI Defense

People facing drunk driving charges should realize that there are ways to defeat the prosecution's case. You might have a strong defense at trial even through you blew a high number after a DWI arrest. To learn about your legal and strategic options for resolving a North Carolina DWI case on favorable terms, contact Greenville criminal defense lawyer Matt Davenport for a free initial consultation.


- Drug Paraphernalia

It has become increasingly common for drug possession and DWI defendants to face additional charges since the North Carolina legislature criminalized possession of such drug paraphernalia as bongs, rolling papers, marijuana pipes, roach clips, and other items associated with the use of marijuana.


- Driving While Revoked or Suspended

Because North Carolina law calls for automatic license suspension whenever a driver collects too many tickets within a 12-month or 18-month period, it sometimes happens that a driver is pulled over on a fresh violation only to discover that he or she is already driving on a suspended or revoked license.


- Driver's License Reinstatement

Driver's license reinstatement is typically the first priority for any North Carolina driver sitting through a suspension. Rather than risking a mandatory 12-month additional suspension for driving while suspended or revoked, you should discuss your options for getting your license back soon with a lawyer who knows the ropes. Contact the Law Office of Matthew J. Davenport in Greenville for a free consultation about driver's license reinstatement.


- Alcohol Offenses

Greenville criminal defense lawyer Matt Davenport represents students facing charges of underage alcohol possession or consumption. If you're an East Carolina or Pitt Community College student who recently received a "drinking ticket," contact the Law Office of Matthew J. Davenport for a free consultation about your legal options.
