Being arrested and booked into jail is a terrifying experience. Although the system is supposed to give you the presumption of innocence, it usually doesn’t feel that way. Law enforcement officers and prosecutors will make it sound like they have all the evidence in the world against you, but don’t fall for their tricks.
Know your rights!
One of the first calls you or a loved one should make after an arrest is to an experienced North Carolina criminal defense lawyer. There are many opportunities between the time you are arrested and the time your case is set to go to trial for a skilled defense attorney to intervene and negotiate on your behalf. Don’t hesitate to get the straightforward legal advice you need from an experienced attorney.
One of the first questions many people ask when they call our law firm is: “How much does it cost to hire a criminal attorney?” At Kurtz & Blum, PLLC, that will depend on the circumstances of your case. We accept criminal cases on a flat-fee basis, and we frequently work out payment plans with our clients. We also accept credit cards.
Ultimately, we believe that no one should go to jail just because they couldn’t afford a high-quality defense attorney. Still, many people consider handling a case on their own or trusting a low-priced but inexperienced defense attorney. We ask you to consider this: With all that you have on the line, can you afford not to hire us?
When your future is hanging in the balance after an arrest, you need a knowledgeable and understanding criminal defense lawyer who can walk you through what to expect and fight fiercely for your rights.

Great experience. I recommend Kurtz and Blum. Matthew Minikus knows his way around in court and got our case dismissed. Great job.
Matthew Minikus was the best attorney I ever had. This man went to war for me and won, dealing with my concealed carry violation. The DA wanted to give me 12 months probation, and he got me off the hook with essentially a slap on the wrist because he simply couldn’t accept that outcome for me. He made the case very personal and gave it everything he had. This is the attorney you want on your side.
Perfect jumped straight to work and got my case dismissed. I definitely recommend them.
Both my spouse and I used Kurtz and Blum for varying degrees of charges, and both had amazing resolutions. I recommend them to anyone who will listen!
Mr. Kurtz, words can’t even explain how truly grateful my family and I are for having you represent me through the darkest time of my life. It was a stressful criminal defense case, but you and your team stuck by my side the entire time and worked miracles. At times, I thought it would be easier to give up, but you and your staff didn’t. You gave me the motivation to keep fighting and to keep my head held high. You don’t meet many people who give you the kind of inspiration you have given me.
I can’t thank you enough. I would definitely recommend your firm to anyone and everyone.
Thank you a thousand times, thank you.
I was represented by a Kurtz and Blum attorney named Mr. Berry. He met me in court and presented my options given by the DA. He laid out the potential consequences, as well as the pros and cons for each option. He explained his position on the case, and I felt encouraged to have a trial. We decided to forego the DA’s offers and try the case. During our meetings, Mr. Berry worked to make sure he understood the facts of the case and that I felt “heard.” I appreciated his patience and explanations of all my questions, as he explained things in a way I could understand. In the end, we did not use his legal argument due to a dismissal, so I cannot speak to his trial performance, but I was pleased with my experience with Mr. Berry.
Otherwise, the law firm staff was helpful, courteous, prompt, and professional.
I am very satisfied with their service. They dismissed and expunged my case in 2018, and they helped me again today by emailing all the information I needed. That was very nice. Thank you.
Seth and the team worked consistently for three years on my case. At every court appearance, Seth was fully prepared and guided the process with my best interests in mind. After a successful Not Guilty verdict, I can’t thank them enough. This is a great firm with a highly qualified and professional staff. Thank you, Kurtz and Blum!
