My name is Charles M. Kunz and I am an attorney. I currently work as the managing attorney of Kunz Law, PLLC which is my own practice. My practice focuses on criminal defense, family law and immigration law but works in other areas as well including Will preparation, collections and landlord/tenant law. I was previously Of Counsel and a Staff Attorney with the nonprofit D.E.A.R. Foundation in Raleigh where I practiced immigration law with a focus in removal defense work. I have extensive trial experience in the Charlotte and Atlanta Immigration Courts as well as in state level District, Superior, Small Claims and Family Court. I travel throughout the southeast practicing immigration law including immigration bonds and individual hearings (trials). I also have handled appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals and worked with adoption law legislation as the Legal Fellow for the Center for Adoption Policy. Prior to law school I worked for six years in sales and customer service environments in the rental car and electrical supply fields. Immediately prior to starting school I was a 911 operator and police dispatcher for the Durham Police Department.

How did you build a successful practice?

Networking. It's a cliche but building a strong network is vital. It's important to have contacts in other parts of the state who can help you with local matters when needed and who will send you leads and referrals and business for your part of the state.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

Someone who understands the lawyer's role. The lawyer has to be honest at all times with his or her clients even when that means telling them things they don't want to hear. The lawyer also has to understand that it's the client who decides the direction that the case will go in. The lawyer can provide advice and counsel but always must make the decisions based on a complete picture which the lawyer has to provide.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?

What direction the case can take, an idea of the possible outcomes, a general idea of the cost of representation and the number of work hours involved.

What information do you need in a free phone consultation?

An honest review of the situation from the client. The client should always remember that a good lawyer will never judge them but a lawyer is only as good as the information he or she receives so the client must be forthcoming.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?

I am well traveled. I've practiced in 78 North Carolina counties and in ten states as I do immigration defense work around the country.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

Making a real difference in people's lives.

What are your other interests in addition to law?

I travel for leisure frequently. I play competitive poker. I spend time with my family. I like to read and write short stories. I love to grill and to try new restaurants.

SAMPLE LEGAL CASES

Does Getting a Document Notarized Make It "Legal"?
The public's perception of what a notary does and what notarization accomplishes is often incorrect. This is particularly the case when a person brings a document to a notary public to be notarized, thinking that the notarization will in some way "legalize" the document or make it "official." Learn more here.
Unmarried? You Are Not Alone, But You Still Need a Plan
Did you know that in many instances, it is even more important that a single person have a well-coordinated estate plan, than a married couple. This is because the default laws governing estates often work poorly for people without a spouse and may not adequately provide for a significant other or unmarried partner. Having a cohesive and well-drafted estate plan will ensure that you protect and provide for those you truly care about upon your death. Learn more here.
When an Adult Needs a Guardian of Property
There are two types of guardianships: a guardianship of the person and a guardianship of the property (also known as a guardianship of the estate or a conservatorship). A guardian of the person is responsible for the ward’s physical safety and well-being. A guardian of the property is responsible for the ward’s money and assets. Learn more here.
