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.

To arrange a free initial consultation about any criminal law, traffic law or probate case, feel free to contact The Law Firm of Brent D. Ratchford today. I provide personal, one-on-one service and make jail visits as necessary. My law firm also accepts credit cards.
