Attorney, Criminal justice attorney, Traffic ticket attorney in Louisburg, NC
The Law Office of Thomas H. Clifton, PLLC is a criminal defence and traffic practice at 114 E Nash Street in Louisburg, pursuing cases in the Franklin, Granville, Vance and Warren County criminal courts — Louisburg, Henderson, Oxford and Warrenton. Consultations are free, and the office is open Monday to Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm. The traffic side covers speeding, reckless driving and red-light offences, with the argument the firm makes plainly: a ticket looks minor until it becomes licence points, higher insurance and suspension. DWI defence draws directly on Clifton’s years as a prosecutor — challenging the legality of the stop and the breath or blood evidence. Driving while licence revoked and DMV licence restoration are handled as their own practice areas, aimed at getting clients legally back on the road. On the criminal side, the firm takes North Carolina felony and misdemeanour matters from District Court through the Superior Trial Court level: murder, assaults, sex offences, drug offences, burglary, breaking and entering, larceny and white collar crime. Clifton has appeared as lead counsel in numerous jury trials and hundreds of bench trials. The firm’s own framing of the stakes is that the District Attorney has the full power of the state and a team of legal professionals, and that a defendant should not face that alone. It stresses that time matters — the sooner a case is started, the better the odds. The office is Clifton, office manager Susan Nicholson and office assistant Samirah Massenburg.

Thomas H. Clifton was born and raised in Louisburg, North Carolina, and came back to practise law there. He has been serving the Franklin, Granville, Vance and Warren County areas since 2001 — over 23 years as a trial lawyer. He started on the other side of the courtroom. Before opening his own practice he was an Assistant District Attorney prosecuting cases in Louisburg, Henderson, Oxford and Warrenton — the same courts his clients now appear in, often against the same prosecutors. That is the firm’s central claim, and it is a specific one rather than a slogan: he has already stood where the state stands, and knows how those cases are built. Over twenty years he has been lead counsel in numerous jury trials and hundreds of bench trials, on everything from a speeding ticket to a murder charge. The firm’s promise is aggressive, results-driven representation at a reasonable price, and Clifton’s own description of how he works is that he treats every client like family and every case as if it were his own. He practises with office manager Susan Nicholson and office assistant Samirah Massenburg.
