The McElwee Firm, PLLC, was founded in 1935. The firm is recognized for the broad range of legal services provided to businesses and individuals. Our experienced lawyers and trained staff are accustomed to managing large scale, complex litigation and specialized legal issues. However, we also take pride in our reputation for personal service, our commitment to communication and the experience we provide to individuals confronting family problems including divorce, child support, child custody, and adoption; criminal defense matters, including dwi, white collar crime, juvenile laws, and sexual assault; or a personal injury resulting from an auto accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, or from medical malpractice. Additionally, our firm skillfully represents buyers and sellers in commercial and residential real estate transactions. Finally, our attorneys are able to handle your estate planning needs, including drafting wills and powers of attorney and representing estates during the probate process.
The firm offers a common sense approach to law. Our lawyers are committed to listening to our clients, discussing their business or personal needs and then counseling and advising in a straightforward manner. We are willing to travel to meet with clients and we strive to keep clients informed of the progress of their matters as the work progresses.
Our lawyers understand the stress and anxiety many clients experience when confronting a legal matter like bankruptcy, personal injury, business litigation or even a minor traffic violation. We do everything we can to make your experience with the legal process as free from frustration as possible. We care about the client as well as the case.
Our years of experience before judges and juries provide a foundation in courtroom excellence. We use state-of-the-art technology to stay abreast with relevant changes of law. We enjoy ongoing relationships with many expert witnesses who are available to assist our clients. Our tough-minded advocacy and courtroom experience enable us to help our clients reach a successful resolution with the opponent through negotiation and settlement. We always focus on our client's best interest, whether it be proceeding through a trial or reaching a settlement.
The McElwee Firm's history of commitment to our clients extends to our community through the firm's involvement in public service. Our attorneys serve on the boards of Wilkes Community College, Wilkes Art Gallery and the Greenway Organization. Each year we enjoy volunteering at MerleFest and the Apple Festival. We serve as counsel to the Town of North Wilkesboro and Wilkes Regional Medical Center.
We look forward to demonstrating our commitment, expertise, and caring to you should you ever need legal advice.
