Not all criminal charges are the same... and the difference matters a lot.

In North Carolina:

📋 Misdemeanors are divided into Classes A1, 1, 2, and 3
• Penalties range from fines to up to 150 days in jail
• Examples: simple assault, first-offense DWI, shoplifting

⚖️ Felonies are divided into Classes A through I
• Penalties can include significant prison time
• Examples: drug trafficking, breaking and entering, serious assault

Both can appear on your criminal record and affect employment, housing, and more.

Whether you're facing a misdemeanor or a felony charge, take it seriously. The right attorney can make a real difference in the outcome.

When a loved one passes away, the to-do list can feel overwhelming. Knowing when to call an attorney can save you time, stress, and costly mistakes.

You probably need an estate attorney if:
✅ There's a will that needs to be probated
✅ There are significant assets — real estate, bank accounts, investments
✅ There are debts or creditors involved
✅ Beneficiaries are in disagreement
✅ There's no will at all

You might be okay without one if everything was held jointly or in beneficiary-designated accounts and the estate is very small.

Even in simple situations, a consultation can give you peace of mind that you're doing it right.

We help families through this process every day. We're here.

You formed your LLC. Great. Did you get an operating agreement?

If you said "what's that?" — keep reading.

An operating agreement is the governing document for your LLC. It spells out:

📋 Who owns what percentage of the company
💼 How profits and losses are distributed
🗳️ How decisions are made — and what happens when there's a disagreement
🚪 What happens if a member wants to leave or dies
⚖️ What happens if the business needs to dissolve

Without one, NC's default LLC rules apply — and they may not reflect what you and your partners actually want.

This is especially critical for multi-member LLCs. Don't skip it.

One of the most confusing things about traffic tickets in NC: there are TWO separate point systems.

🚗 DMV Points — tracked by the NC DMV, affect your license
📈 Insurance Points — tracked by your insurance company, affect your rates

Here's the thing: these are NOT the same. A ticket might trigger insurance points even if it doesn't add DMV points, and vice versa.

A prayer for judgment continued (PJC) can sometimes protect you from insurance points, but it can only be used once every three years per household for insurance purposes.

The details matter. Before you pay that ticket or accept any deal, talk to a traffic attorney.

If you have a loved one with a disability, you may have heard of an ABLE account. But what is it?

An ABLE account (Achieving a Better Life Experience) is a tax-advantaged savings account for individuals with disabilities — and it does NOT count against their Medicaid or SSI asset limits (up to certain amounts).

ABLE accounts can be used for:
🏠 Housing
🚗 Transportation
📚 Education
🏥 Healthcare and wellness
💻 Assistive technology

The NC ABLE program is administered through the State Treasurer's office.

ABLE accounts can work hand-in-hand with a special needs trust as part of a comprehensive disability planning strategy.

One of the biggest questions in any divorce: who gets what?

North Carolina follows a principle called equitable distribution — which means marital property is divided fairly, but not necessarily 50/50.

So what's "marital property"?
Generally: assets and debts acquired during the marriage.

What's NOT marital property?
Separate property — things you owned before marriage, or received as a gift or inheritance (if kept separate).

What does the court consider?
• Length of the marriage
• Each spouse's income and earning potential
• Contributions to the marriage (including non-financial)
• And more

Property division can get complicated fast — especially with businesses, retirement accounts, or real estate involved.

We're here to help you navigate it.

🎙️ New Episode Alert: Motion to Spill
What starts with rapid-fire questions, a little self-roasting, and some very honest talk about hair and high school… quickly turns into a real conversation about what it actually takes to grow something bigger than yourself.
In this episode, Meghan and Sarah pull back the curtain on:
✨ Expanding a law firm and acquiring an established practice
✨ The reality of merging teams, cultures, and expectations
✨ The moment that shifted everything: realizing people aren’t “assets” — they’re the heart of the business
✨ The messy, human side of leadership, buy-in, and change
They also share behind-the-scenes insight into late nights renovating the new office, lessons from mentors, and the balancing act of being the technician, the manager, and the entrepreneur (hello, E-Myth 👀).
Plus — a sneak peek at a new podcast launching within the TLD Network 🎧
Candid. Funny. Honest. A little chaotic (in the best way).
This is the kind of real talk you won’t hear anywhere else.

⚖️ As always: this is entertainment only, not legal advice.

We get this question a lot:

"What's the difference between a guardianship and a power of attorney?"

Great question. Here's the key difference:

📄 A power of attorney is set up IN ADVANCE by the person — while they still have capacity. They choose who acts for them.

⚖️ Guardianship is a court process — used when someone LACKS capacity and no POA is in place. A judge appoints the guardian.

Guardianship is more expensive, more time-consuming, and takes the decision out of the family's hands.

The takeaway? Get your power of attorney in place while you can. It's one of the most important documents in your estate plan — and it can prevent the need for guardianship later.
