Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney

Serving Counties; Cherokee, Haywood, Jackson, Macon, Swain, Graham, Clay and Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Tribal Court

Nathan has represented individuals accused of criminal offenses ranging from minor speeding tickets to capital murder since 2003. Although the consequences and strategies differ in each case, his approach remains the same. In order for the client-lawyer relationship to be successful, there must actually be a relationship. It must be a relationship where the client feels comfortable and confident that their lawyer truly cares about their case. Secondly, there is no substitute for preparation. There is no consistent way for an attorney to reach the best possible result unless he takes the time and steps necessary to be fully prepared in each and every case. Finally, an attorney must be open to negotiate, but willing and able to aggressively litigate for his client. Nathan uses this approach to reach the best possible result for his clients.

This is the best representation I’ve ever had in my life or seen from any type of legal representative. Mr Earwood was very professional, helpful, and explained the way he was gonna navigate my case. From the first time I spoke to him until the end of the case he was thorough and did not leave me wondering or worrying. I would recommend this lawyer to anyone, I could not be anymore pleased with the outcome of my situation!

Mr. Earwood's secretary was very friendly, courteous, and thorough in explaining to me how I could attend a defensive driving course in my hometown of Asheville to likely dismiss my charge of speeding. Payment processing and sending documents via text message was a breeze. Then several weeks later, Mr. Earwood's paralegal contacted me to tell me the good news that my charge had been dismissed in court that morning, and, therefore, no points would be awarded against my license and no subsequent insurance increase. It's a silly legal system, but I'm glad I chose a lawyer to handle my case as I would have had to drive a fair distance from home and miss work to represent myself in Sylva, NC. Long story short, if you get a speeding ticket in Jackson county, I would highly recommend hiring Nathan Earwood to represent you.

Mr. Earwood took our case and quickly put our fears behind us. He was confident that he could get a dismissal and guided us thruogh the process in a professional manner. We very much appreciated his understanding and his caring attitude. The money spent was well worth the care and the outcome. The peace of mind leading up to the court date alone was worth every cent. As promised, this case has been handled and put behind us. We are massively grateful to Mr. Earwood and his team. What a relief!

Nathan Earwood and his team made time to urgently listen to my case, advised me on the best course of action, did everything that they said they would do, kept me informed throughout the entire process, and successfully resolved my case. They went above and beyond what was expected, and did everything for a more than reasonable fee. I highly recommend Nathan and his team!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
