The Hiltzheimer Firm brings a wealth of training and experience to a criminal defense law practice dedicated to advocating for the rights of the people of North Carolina. Trained by the pre-eminent public defender agency in the country, the federally funded Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, founding attorney Ben Hiltzheimer brings his experience as a criminal defense lawyer representing indigent individuals in the nation's capital to Raleigh, North Carolina, which is now the home base of the practice.

For his entire career as a lawyer, Mr. Hiltzheimer has worked tirelessly on behalf of the rights of individual citizens, and continues that work today in his new Raleigh-based practice. Whether you are charged with a DWI or a drug offense, assault or check fraud, we will be your advocate both in and out of court. For examples of successes, please see our Experience section. While every case is different and we cannot guarantee results, and past results do not guarantee similar results in future cases, if you hire a lawyer from The Hiltzheimer Firm we will work hard to achieve the best result possible in every single case.
