My name is Keith Williams, and I have been a lawyer since 1992 and have worked in criminal law since 1994. I started my career as a federal law clerk and then a state criminal prosecutor. In 1998, I opened my solo practice law firm to help those accused of crimes throughout Eastern North Carolina.

With more than 25 years of experience, I am ready to defend you in state or federal court. I am also board-certified in criminal law by the North Carolina State Bar. Every person counts, every case matters and every client benefits from my years of experience.

Why Should You Seek A Criminal Law Specialist?

The North Carolina Bar’s Board of Legal Specialization certifies lawyers after reviewing their experience and training. Only attorneys board-certified in a practice area can use the term specialist. I am the only lawyer in Pitt County board-certified in both state and federal criminal law.

I defend people charged with a wide variety of offenses, including:

White Collar Crimes
Bank fraud, embezzlement, health care
fraud and tax crimes

Drug Offenses
And Other Serious Crimes
From possession and intent to distribute
to murder or sexual assault charges

Firearms Charges
Felon in possession of a firearm or possession
of a firearm in connection with drug trafficking

My clients are from a broad cross-section ranging from professionals accused of fraud to East Carolina University students charged with drug and alcohol offenses.

Is Your Criminal Record Holding You Back?

Arrests and convictions can limit your employment, education and housing options for many years. You may be eligible to have these negative marks erased from your record through expungement (now called expunction in North Carolina).

I handle these cases on a regular basis. My law firm can help evaluate your situation and pursue this remedy, if available.
