Extensive Experience Serving North Carolina Communities
Comprehensive Legal Representation
Vasquez Law Firm has represented clients across North Carolina and Florida since 2011. Our bilingual attorneys handle immigration law in both states, plus personal injury and workers' compensation in North Carolina, criminal defense in Johnston, Harnett, Pitt and Cumberland counties (DWI in Johnston and Harnett only), and traffic violations in 11 North Carolina counties including Mecklenburg. We serve clients at four offices in Charlotte, Raleigh, Smithfield, and Orlando, with free initial evaluations and contingency fees for eligible cases.
Immigration & Deportation Defense
Our immigration practice handles visa petitions, green card applications, naturalization, DACA renewals, asylum claims, TPS filings, and deportation defense. We appear regularly before the U.S. Immigration Court in Charlotte, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and USCIS offices. Our founder William Vasquez serves as legal counsel for the Mexican and Guatemalan consulates in NC.
Injury & Workers' Comp Claims
We pursue full compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent disability. We handle car accidents, truck accidents, slip and fall injuries, construction site injuries, occupational illnesses, and wrongful death claims. Our contingency fee arrangement means you pay nothing unless we recover money for you.
Criminal & Traffic Defense
Our criminal defense attorneys represent clients charged with DWI/DUI, drug offenses, assault, theft, and domestic violence in North Carolina courts. Our traffic attorneys defend against speeding tickets, reckless driving, CDL violations, and license suspensions in North Carolina.

Vasquez Law Firm, PLLC provides comprehensive legal representation across five core practice areas in North Carolina, with immigration services also available from our Orlando, Florida office. Founded by William Vasquez, a U.S. Air Force veteran and North Carolina State Bar member since 2011, the firm handles immigration petitions before USCIS and the Executive Office for Immigration Review, personal injury claims under N.C. Gen. Stat. Chapter 1 (including automobile negligence under the contributory negligence standard unique to North Carolina), workers' compensation cases governed by the North Carolina Industrial Commission under N.C. Gen. Stat. Chapter 97, criminal defense in both District and Superior Court, and traffic violations in 11 North Carolina counties, including Mecklenburg, Wake, Johnston and Harnett.
Experienced, Focused Attorneys
Each practice area is staffed by attorneys who focus their work in that field and stay current with statutory changes, appellate decisions, and administrative rule updates. Our immigration team regularly appears before the Charlotte Immigration Court, the Board of Immigration Appeals in Falls Church, Virginia, and USCIS field offices across the Southeast. Our trial attorneys have secured over $50 million in combined settlements and verdicts for personal injury and workers' compensation clients. In criminal defense, we handle cases from initial arrest and first appearance through jury trial and post-conviction motions, including structured sentencing challenges under N.C. Gen. Stat. Section 15A-1340.

Common Questions About Working With Our Firm
Straightforward answers about how each practice area works in North Carolina and Florida.
How much does an initial consultation cost?
Vasquez Law Firm offers a free case evaluation for every practice area. During that first conversation we review the facts of your situation, explain the legal process that applies, and outline the realistic options available to you. For personal injury and workers' compensation matters, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you. Immigration, criminal defense, and traffic matters are handled on flat-fee or hourly arrangements that we explain in writing before you decide to move forward, so you always know what representation will cost.
Why does North Carolina's contributory negligence rule matter in an injury case?
North Carolina is one of only a handful of states that still follows the pure contributory negligence doctrine. Under this rule, if an injured person is found even one percent at fault for the accident, they can be barred from recovering any compensation at all. That standard makes early investigation and careful documentation especially important. Our personal injury attorneys work to preserve evidence, obtain the police report, gather witness statements, and, where appropriate, consult accident-reconstruction professionals and treating physicians to present a clear account of how the injury occurred. The same rule does not apply in Florida, which follows a comparative negligence system, so the strategy in a case can differ depending on where it arises.
Do you handle both North Carolina and Florida immigration matters?
Yes. Immigration law is federal, so our attorneys represent clients before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Executive Office for Immigration Review, and the federal immigration courts regardless of which state a client lives in. We maintain offices in Charlotte, Raleigh, and Smithfield, North Carolina, and in Orlando, Florida, and we regularly appear before the Charlotte Immigration Court and the Board of Immigration Appeals. Whether your matter involves a family-based petition, an employment-based case, humanitarian relief, or a removal defense proceeding, we can explain the process, the likely timeline, and the documentation the government will expect.
What should I do first after an arrest or a serious accident?
In a criminal matter, it is generally best to avoid discussing the details of the incident with anyone other than your attorney and to keep any court dates you are given, because a missed appearance can lead to an order for arrest. In an injury matter, seeking prompt medical attention protects both your health and the record of what happened. In every situation, contacting a lawyer early gives you the fullest set of options, since some deadlines, such as the statute of limitations for a civil claim or the window to respond to an immigration notice, begin running immediately.
