Siemens Law Office, P.A. is a law firm committed to representing people in Western North Carolina . The office does not defend insurance companies. The only corporate clients represented are small businesses located in Western North Carolina, employing people in Western North Carolina .

Our commitment to each individual client makes us different. Whether you are dealing with separation from a spouse, a personal injury, medical malpractice, or the threat of prosecution by the State or Federal Government, we understand that you are dealing with life changing events.

Separation, Divorce, Mediation

A significant portion of our State District Court practice is devoted to family law. Jim Siemens represents clients dealing with separation from a spouse and all of the issues that arise from separation. These issues include child custody, child support, spousal support, alimony, the division of marital assets (known as equitable distribution) and divorce.

In 2003, Jim was certified, by the North Carolina Supreme Court dispute resolution commission, to mediate family law related matters. Mediation is now mandatory in both child custody cases and equitable distribution cases in several Western North Carolina Judicial Districts. Jim is available to mediate family law disputes. Jim's mediation training also makes him a more effective lawyer representing a client at a mediated settlement conference.

Traffic Offenses and Criminal Charges

Another significant area of our practice consists of legal defense in State and Federal Criminal prosecutions. As the State and Federal Government continue to "get tough on crime", more and more innocent people are being caught in the net. We understand how lonely and overpowered a person may feel when the State or Federal Government seeks to deprive a person of their liberties. Talk to us before you talk with anyone if you suspect you may be charged with a crime. If you are charged or arrested, remain silent until you talk with competent criminal defense counsel.

Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice

A third area of practice for Siemens Law Office is in the area of civil wrongs, such as personal injury sustained in an auto accident and medical malpractice. We don't advertise on television, we don't take out full pages in the phone book, and we don't solicit by direct mail.
We do aggressively represent people that have been injured by malpractice and motor vehicle accident. And because we don't spend hundreds of thousands on advertising, we can afford to take the time to properly prepare your case for trial.
