Verified ClientHired Attorney 2019-2020MUST READ!! Where to begin?? I live on a record-clean life, had never set foot in a courtroom, other than a school field-trip in grade school. I have a successful career, a loving wife, and a growing family. We are always looking forward to our next chapters life has to offer; until one day everything got flipped upside down, when a third party decided to stir the pot. Being placed in a position, where both my wife and I could not believe we would EVER be in our lifetime, had no concept of knowing what to do, let alone being devastated of what could possibly happen if things completed its course. EVERYTHING was at stake: my career in the military, my family’s financial security, my wife’s well-being, my three kids with one on the way and their college funds, the whole nine yards, would abruptly come to an end. Phrases such as, “reasons to believe,” with ZERO concrete evidence on their end to back it up, my wife and I were in disbelief and sick to our stomachs; it was unfair and ultimately unjust. Doing HOURS of research, setting appointments with TEN different Law-Firms, who did I NEED to represent my family and I in this battle, in order to secure us moving forward? Greenwood Law, being the seventh law-firm I sat down and spoke with, stood out to me more than the rest. He was straight to the point, provided strategies he would do if he were to take my case, gave me no BS, and very affordable, (compared to the others), with High Quality Standards. So, I put my faith and trust in Attorney Greenwood himself to provide me and my family that security back into our lives rightfully so. This was pre-COVID mind you, so when the pandemic hit the US and caused the courthouses to shut down, did he? While my hearing continued to get pushed and pushed, it took over 13 months to commence, Greenwood Law and his team NEVER stopped. Not ONCE did they ever ease off the throttle and ENDED my heavy-burden with a case DISMISSED before the actual hearing!! Greenwood Law and his team are relentless and very persistent in completing their cases with the most positive outcome, REGARDLESS what obstacles/challenges get in the way. I truly believe Greenwood Law has your BEST interest at heart, like they did mine, and will go to battle for you with whatever situation you are in! For ANYONE who is in need, stop your research now and go talk with Greenwood Law before making your final decision; it may be the BEST decision you will ever make!

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2020I hired Attorney Greenwood to handle a case. He reminds me of Atticus Finch in "To Kill a Mockingbird" because he cares for his clients. He fights for you, no matter the issue. You feel at ease when you talk with him. I felt better about my case after meeting him. It is obvious that he is very smart, but he comes across as a really nice, regular guy. I highly recommend Attorney Dylan Greenwood and his law firm, Greenwood Law.

Consulted Attorney 2024Very unreliable attorney. Was told that I would receive a phone call on a certain date. Three days later I still hadn't received the phone call. Then I called the attorney's office and was given another scheduled date for a phone consultation on a certain date and time. After waiting for exactly one week I sill hadn't received the phone call consultation. So when I called the attorney's office to talk with them about their negligence on keeping the appointment, I was told that they were short staffed. Short staffed? For an entire week? I told them that someone could have at least called me to let me know that the appointment would need to be rescheduled for a later date. Completely and totally unreliable! I wouldn't recommend this attorney to anyone. Don't waste you time with this attorney. A total letdown!

Overview
Dylan W. Greenwood founded Greenwood Law in his first year after graduating from Wake Forest University School of Law. Dylan saw the need to provide exceptional legal representation, attentive to the needs of his clients. Even as Greenwood Law continues to grow, Dylan ensures those values remain at its core.
His practice areas include state and federal criminal defense, civil litigation, family law, and immigration. He is particularly adept at handling drug crimes, sex crimes, financial crimes, DWI, traffic, assaults, and domestic violence offenses. After having worked in the Federal Public Defender’s Office for the Middle District of North Carolina, Dylan also maintains a federal practice attuned to his client’s specific needs in that realm.

Before practicing law, Dylan, a native of Winston-Salem, NC, was an Eagle Scout at the age of 12 and an honors graduate of R.J. Reynolds High School. Following graduation from Reynolds, he attended college at Virginia Tech as a Hillcrest Honors Student. A proud Hokie, Dylan earned two degrees, with honors, in Political Science and Economics while becoming a Rhodes Scholarship nominee.
When he is not focusing on the needs of his clients, Dylan spends most of his time with his wife, other family members, and friends. He and his wife enjoy going on adventures around the world and hiking. Dylan also enjoys golfing and skeet shooting.
