Firm Information
Overview
I am Brent D. Ratchford, a North Carolina lawyer with more than 15 years of experience representing clients in Gastonia, Bessemer City and the surrounding areas. I am proud to be a local attorney who was born, raised and educated here. Judges and prosecutors know me well. I am a past president of the Gaston County Bar Association, and many of my high-profile cases have been covered by Dateline NBC and other media outlets. My law firm was also voted "Best of Gaston" four different years.
My practice is focused on:
- Criminal defense — I handle assault, domestic violence, murder, drug offenses, sex crimes, probation violations, theft offenses, white collar crimes and other criminal law matters. I also assist clients with expungements.
- DWI and traffic law — I defend clients accused of drunk driving, speeding, driving while license revoked and other traffic violations.
- Probate law — I guide executors and family members through the complexities of the probate process in Gaston County.
