Introduction

Richard L. Cannon III earned his law degree from Campbell University School of Law in 1983 and has spent more than 35 years building a practice in eastern North Carolina that serves clients facing bankruptcy, Social Security disability denials, personal injury claims, workers compensation disputes, traffic and cycling law matters, and DUI charges. The office at 300 E Arlington Blvd, Suite 5, in Greenville, sits less than a mile from St. Bernards Medical Center and less than half a mile from Jonesboro District Court, a geographic position that reflects the practical realities of its core client base. The firm offers weekend appointments, an accommodation that most eastern North Carolina law offices do not extend.

The practice is structured to address the economic circumstances many clients face. Bankruptcy protection, wage garnishment defense, foreclosure prevention, and Social Security disability claims are handled under the same roof as traffic matters, personal injury cases, and DUI defense, allowing clients with multiple intersecting legal needs to work with a single firm that knows their broader situation.

Practice Areas

Bankruptcy Chapter 7: Chapter 7 bankruptcy provides a discharge of qualifying unsecured debt, giving clients a legal fresh start. The firm guides clients through eligibility requirements, the means test, asset exemptions, and the filing process in North Carolina courts.

Bankruptcy Chapter 13: Chapter 13 creates a structured repayment plan that allows clients to catch up on mortgage arrears or other secured debt obligations while retaining their property. The firm helps clients develop and confirm viable Chapter 13 plans.

Wage Garnishment and Foreclosure Defense: Creditors who obtain judgments can garnish wages in North Carolina. The firm provides defense in garnishment proceedings and represents clients facing home foreclosure, pursuing every available legal option to protect client assets.

Cycling Law: Bicycle accident cases involve specific liability and damages considerations that differ from standard vehicle accident claims. The firm handles claims for cyclists injured in accidents with motor vehicles or due to road hazards.

DUI Defense: The firm defends clients charged with driving under the influence in eastern North Carolina courts, challenging the stop, the arrest procedure, and the testing methods used in each case.
