Biography

Ben Hiltzheimer is an experienced trial lawyer who has fought for the accused for his entire career, beginning as a public defender at the nation's preeminent Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia and now based in North Carolina.

We recognize that a criminal charge -- whether it's a DWI, a drug charge, financial fraud, or first degree murder -- is often the most serious and stressful experience in the life of the accused. We listen to our clients and their priorities and we craft each defense in close contact with our clients.

Hiltzheimer Law Office is a criminal defense law practice with offices in Raleigh and Durham. Criminal defense is all we do. Give us a call and we're happy to provide a free, confidential consultation on your case.
