Kevin has helped enormously and was very professional from the moment he agreed to contend with my case. In fact, I could not have asked for a better outcome. Equally important, I was kept up to date on any information pertaining to my case. As a result, I would absolutely recommend Fanney Law Office.

One of my colleagues, who was very satisfied with Fanny Law Office's service recommended this law firm to me. I had a case of traffic violation that Mr. Fanny represented on my behalf, which was very successful leading to my case's dismissal. Ever since,my family, and friends have been clients of this law firm with good results for DMV related cases. Even one of my friends who is living out of state also had good experience with them. Mr. Fanney, Ms. Lindsay and all their staff members are professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly. Therefore I recommend them to everyone.

Fanney Law Office came to me by recommendation and I was 100% satisfied with the results. Communication with the firm was efficient, professional and secure using the web portal. Mr. Fanney understood the seriousness of the issue and made it quite clear that he would do whatever necessary. For that I am truly thankful.

I seldom write a review unless I believe that I have received truly exceptional service. The recent experience we had with Kevin Long and the Fanney Law Office, PLLC, however, compels me to rate Mr. Long as one of the most competent criminal defense attorneys in Raleigh, North Carolina.

A close relative of mine recently faced several serious criminal charges, and we immediately grasped the gravity of the situation and were understandably worried and concerned over the potential unfavorable outcomes that were clearly possible. As a former attorney residing in a different state, I spent a significant amount of time researching and evaluating, through telephone conversations and meetings, a number of criminal defense attorneys in Raleigh and in North Carolina’s other major cities. During the process of assessing the best attorney to hire, I also asked for referrals from several of my former colleagues and other local acquaintances, and the majority of them recommended Kevin Long and the Fanney Law Office.

Mr. Long proved, without a doubt, to my family that he possesses the skills, motivation, and determination commensurate with an outstanding defense attorney. Besides demonstrating a high level of dedication and commitment to the weighty responsibilities he undertook, Mr. Long showed us as a great deal of patience, empathy, and warmth in counseling and reassuring us, and our relative, during what was, obviously, an extremely stressful time and process.

From the first day that we retained Mr. Long, he was exceptionally proactive and diligent in his work on our relative’s behalf, including immediately pursuing efforts to have the case dismissed and similar strategies aimed at preventing the case from ever going to court. Once a dismissal was no longer an option, Mr. Long fought tirelessly to win for us the most favorable outcome that we could hope for, which he achieved.

Throughout the entire process, Mr. Long’s telephone and written communications with us were almost constant, in addition to being thoughtful, clear, and reassuring. Without exception, Mr. Long consistently demonstrated to us a professional demeanor and the utmost integrity, both in the courtroom and during numerous conversations and meetings.

Most important, Mr. Long unquestionably possesses an extensive and thorough knowledge of North Carolina criminal law and how the North Carolina criminal process and court system work, and he enjoys the added strengths of having accumulated significant previous experience in working on the “other side” of the court room, namely, having prior experience as an assistant district attorney in North Carolina. Moreover, as an added benefit, Mr. Long and the Fanney Law Office possess valuable familiarity and solid working relationships with a number of the assistant district attorneys now working in the Raleigh and Charlotte areas.

In short, our family cannot thank Mr. Long enough for his extensive and effective efforts throughout the entire case and, as important, for the very favorable outcome that Mr. Long obtained. We are extremely grateful to Kevin Long and to the Fanney Law Office, and give them our highest, unqualified recommendation as North Carolina defense attorneys whom you should strongly consider retaining.

Kevin helped me in one of the most difficult times of my life. He is really professional, smart, considerate and always answering my emails quickly. He solved my case in a very short period of time. If you need a criminal lawyer you should call Kevin!!

You need John Fanney and his experience on your side in the court room. Choosing the right person to represent you is difficult. I searched the internet like many of you and choose John. Best decision I ever made. John is very compassionate and you need to be comfortable telling your situation. John makes it effortless and is interested in solving your problem. John’s Credentials works in his favor, to make it a no brainer, his experience of trials in our court system is who you need to trust with your case. Hire a preeminent attorney, guilty or not, your life going forward is important. My advice is look no further. You have found an EXPERT.

John did an exceptional job for us. It was very clear that John’s knowledge of the law was superior to the district attorney. We were referred to John by two independent sources. Their recommendations were well founded. Highly recommend.

Wow John Fanney is the best DWI lawyer in Wake County! There are so many lawyers that will take your money and roll over and plead guilty, which you could do yourself.... John is a master of the law and if there is even a little mishap by the officers you have a great chance to get off. He knows the ins and outs of the law. In October I got a DWI and thought I was done for sure. John was able to go to trail get my BAC results suppressed. Then we came back a month later and beat the case because the state had no BAC. He is a magician and will work with you on finance as well. Tell John his buddy Matt Cutts sent you!

John Fanney is the most experienced, most compassionate, and most knowledgable lawyer that you can hire for criminal cases in Raleigh. Throughout the entire process, John was responsive to emails, helpful with suggestions, and offered top-notch insight and guidance. Beg, borrow, hack, steal -- do whatever you can to be able to hire him; you won't regret it.

John and the staff at Fanney Law helped us with a very unique issue we ran in to. He went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly, which it did. We couldn’t be happier with the service John provided. He is very professional, friendly, and knows the law like the back of his hand. We would recommend him to anyone that needs a lawyer. You won’t regret hiring John Fanney!

Mr. Fanney was a pleasure to work with. He takes the time with clients to pin point any possible options within their case. He is responsive and will get back to you as soon as he can. Unlike other attorneys in the Raleigh-Durham area, he has been working with Criminal Law cases in N.C for over 25 yrs. He knows his stuff and particularly knows the NC Court system in how it operates. Raleigh courts are backed up and these cases can go on for several months and in my case—years. So, thank you so much Mr. Fanney for staying diligent and working with me for so long. I have been very happy with you as my advocate and particularly the results you deliver. I am glad I walked through door back in 2017.

In asking to write a testimonial for the services of Fanney Law Office, PLLC, I can unequivocally state I made an astronomical misjudgment of choosing this legal service provider. On July 9, 2016 I was served with a Domestic Violence Protection Order. The event in question happened on July 6, 2019 and a police report was filed. There was absolutely no evidence to support the claim. I asked for the Police Report three times with the Law Office of Mr. Fanney because the Raleigh Police would not provide me with a copy. To this day I still do not know what is in the Police Report.

I went to court on July 18, 2019 believing the charge would be dismissed. Mr. Fanney was late for court by over 30 minutes. When Mr. Fannney arrived in court he did not ask for a motion to dismiss. Instead, he and the plaintiff came to the agreement without me being in the conversation that the Ex-parte would be extended an additional sixty days.

On September 18, 2009 I was sent an “Upcoming Event” Notice by the Fanney Law Office stating I was to appear in court on September 20, 2019. When I arrived in court I waited Mr. Fanney. Role was called by the Judge and Mr. Fanney still had not appeared. The Judge asked who I was when I told her I did not hear my name called and gave her Mr. Fanney’s name as my attorney. The Judge told me the case had been dismissed by the Plaintiff.

By Mr. Fanney not being in the courtroom with me does not make me feel safe when it comes to relying on legal representation from this office. Especially after agreeing to pay $2,500.00 in court fees. In my opinion, by Mr. Fanney not appearing with me shows little ethics after taking my money. I feel this matter should be addressed the legal ethics board.

These are the two words that crystalize the professionalism and service that I have received from my experience working with Fanney Law Office. They were able to walk me through the entire legal process step by step and took the time to ensure I truly understood what was going on. Even after I was taken care of they answered any subsequent questions to make sure I was squared away properly.

I highly recommend the Fanney Law Office!

I contacted John Fanney in April, 2018. On August 13th, 2019, my charges were dismissed. I can only attribute this to Attorney John Fanney and his team. He was very patient and understanding throughout the process; all 17 months of it. Trust that John is the guy to call when you need help moving on from a mistake. If it weren’t for Johns dedication to my case I would not be in this position right now. There are multiple ways to skin a cat and John seems to know every one of them.

My wife walked in the Wake County Court and met a Lawyer from Fanny Law. After speaking with him about the ticket and how we wanted it off our insurance and to have it dismissed, he said he would take care of everything for us. All said and done we get our letter stating "We pleaded guilty and we owe the court its court costs. The Firm did nothing for us, we couldn't do ourselves. We thought we'd let a professional handle this, but he ended up dropping the ball...big time. Go elsewhere.

Attorney Long's dedication to my case was evident from my initial consultation. Having received my first misdemeanor charge, I was reluctant to decide on an attorney to trust with my case without first scoping out different options. And with a job opportunity being on the line, I knew that I had to act fast. I finally decided on attorney Long because of his genuine interest in understanding my case and getting the quick results I desired. Thanks to Kevin Long, my charge was dismissed. Furthermore, I was able to communicate these results to my employer and move forward with my career. Do not take any short cuts when it comes to clearing your criminal record. Ensure you have the best representation possible.

I was fortunate to be recommended to this law office! lindsay Joyner took the time to listen to my needs, and understand my case. I never felt rushed. She and her office, offered prompt and effective handling of my case. If I had any questions she responded promptly. They also have a very good online system to handle paperwork. I never even had to drive to their office. I was able to handle all the paperwork from the convenience of my computer at home. I recommend Lindsay, and Fanney Law Office.

When facing potentially life changing charges, there are two options:

1) Pay a lot now
2) Pay a lot more later

Take option 1 and trust Mr. Fanney to take care of you.

You can’t teach experience and John has more than almost anyone.

Do not make a poor decision to get a cheap attorney from a letter in the mail. You will get what you pay for and regret it for much longer than the initial inconvenience of a temporary financial burden.

I can not recommend this law firm enough.

Your search is over for a DWI lawyer. The most important thing you can do at this point is hire the best person to represent you and if you're in Raleigh that is is John Fanney. John is the perfect mix of honest, gentle, yet will fight hard for your case. Anytime I needed anything John and his office were responsive and he always made sure I felt comfortable with our next steps. He dumbed down the lawyer-speak for me to understand what was going on in court and the entire legal process. It took over 16 months but my case was dismissed. No other lawyer I spoke with in my research would have made that happen. He is worth every penny.

My son got a DWI at a checkpoint with the onsite mobile BAT unit. I had gotten one myself some years earlier, represented by a former Wake County DA. The case was continued once and then we walked into court and without so much as a word from my attorney I was found guilty. To say I was disappointed would be a gross understatement.

Not only was I out several thousands for the attorney, but I was soon to be hit with the real expense of such a conviction... 10% loss of wages for a year because I couldn't drive a company vehicle. Substance Abuse classes, and the insurance... Damn, a more than 300% increase for years and I previously had no points. There's literally an industry built around these charges that punish the accused before you ever get to court. For a single parent it ruined me. Not to mention the shame and stigma associated with it that never goes away.

I was heartbroken when the kid gave me that call to come get him. I was also painfully aware of the importance of good representation. Initially we were bombarded with the mailbox full of letters from dozens of attorneys promising to help. It can be overwhelming and frightening. I work in a professional environment and knew some people familiar with the local "legal landscape." I contacted an attorney I knew who helped with my divorce and custody situation, but he didn't swim in these legal waters. He initially referred me to a gentleman who, after explaining the details and context of the arrest to his paralegal... (apparently there are more detailed considerations with a checkpoint) and the fact that my kid had CDL's I never heard back from the man !!

There's a clock running all the while and decisions have to be made. Informed decisions. I contacted the attorney I had asked for the referral again and he gave me two names, but he said if you feel it's a "no holds barred" and"try and win at any measure" situation contact the first man, John Fanney. He explained that John not only had a local reputation for his expertise and specialization with DWI's, but a national one. Not just that he had a record of successful outcomes but that he taught other attorneys about the technical matters that don't make much sense to you or me but do in court. So we retained him.

John was honest and upfront about the possible outcome after our initial consultation. I was aware of the importance, and felt comfortable and confident with him representing someone more important to me than myself... My child.

Knowledge and expertise go hand in hand with an understanding of the process and people involved. John has all of these. He also has a commitment and dedication to providing the best possible outcome, while never minimizing the severity of my son's actions, only that he shouldn't have to pay for them for a lifetime, limiting professional and educational opportunities. And the financial impact and hole it can create for a young person who doesn't have much to begin with. This situation got more complex, the young man made his situation more difficult before this matter was resolved. John helped us through that as well. Sometimes a young person can't see the importance of things when they're so close to them. They come into focus with time and distance, age and maturity. But parents know all too well. I'll tell you, just as John told us from the very beginning, "There are no guaranteed outcomes." As an individual facing these matters, or the parent/loved one of someone going through this difficult, stressful ordeal with FAR-reaching consequences you want to look back and be able to say that you gave yourself/your loved one, the best opportunity for a positive outcome. Punishment comes in many forms, not just in convictions. The cost, the immeasurable stress, the impact on personal and professional relationships that these arrests place on everyone involved, prior to a legal resolution are punitive in themselves. If you're here reading this you're likely in trouble too. Do yourself a favor and give John a call.

My experience with John...Well, I researched him online and gave his firm a call. Needless to say, his legal team is amazing! Shout out to Tia! John told me not to worry and that he couldn't promise anything but he could guarantee that he would do his best. He had my DWI dismissed within 6 months. I would recommend him to anyone and hopefully I never have to use that particular service again but will always have him on standby. John is a professional and his knowledge is unsurpassed. Thanks to Fanney Law, I still have my career!

I have worked with John Fanney on numerous DWI matters over the years, and we have also taught together in several DWI classes to other attorneys across the state. John is one of the masters of North Carolina DWI laws and defense, which is why I do not hesitate to refer clients to him for DWI's, speeding tickets and criminal matters in the Raleigh area. I obviously highly recommend John Fanney for these types of cases.
