Criminal Charges
Our law firm has over 57 combined years of experience in defending people charged with all types of crimes in northeastern North Carolina.
We handle all types of state criminal charges: traffic tickets, DWI’s, drug charges, all felony and misdemeanor crimes, including underage alcohol charges, larceny, embezzlement, assault, robbery, sex crimes and murder.
We also represent people charged in Federal Court with crimes on the National Seashore, including DWI on the beach, drug charges, reckless driving, speeding, hunting and fishing violations, trespassing and other “Park Ranger” charges.
We understand that the effects of criminal charges can be devastating for you, your family, your job or your education. A criminal conviction can result in not only prison time and high monetary fines, but it can also cost you your job, a loss of security clearances, loss of future job opportunities, expulsion from school, and the loss of possible student financial aid opportunities.

OUR FIRM’S REPRESENTATION IS DIFFERENT
TWO ATTORNEYS ON EVERY CASE
Our law practice is different from most other law firms in that both of our attorneys work on every case in our office. Keith Teague was a prosecutor in this 1st Judicial District (Dare, Currituck, Camden, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Chowan and Gate counties) from 1973 to 1981. During that time, he prosecuted all types of criminal cases, from speeding tickets to DWI’s to drug cases to murders.
In 1981 Keith Teague opened this criminal defense law firm and began concentrating his practice on criminal defense. Since 1995, attorney Danny Glover, Jr. has worked with Keith Teague on all of our criminal defense cases. Danny Glover, Jr. initially meets with our clients to review their case, explain the court process, and research the complex legal issues present in their cases. Then both attorneys review the case and all of the evidence received from the State and/or our investigator, and they then prepare and formulate whatever motions, objections, defenses and trial strategies necessary to defend or negotiate your case.
Keith Teague then represents most of our clients in court, and in bigger, more complicated cases, both of our attorneys try the case together. This approach not only allows us to see clients soon after their first call to our office, but it also provides our clients with twice the legal protection and assistance than a single attorney can provide.
