Types of Criminal Defense Cases We Handle
DWI / DUI (Driving While Impaired)
Being charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can lead to severe penalties including license suspension, fines, increased insurance costs, and even jail time. We challenge improper traffic stops, faulty breathalyzer results, and other key aspects of your case to protect your driving privileges and freedom.
Drug Crimes
We represent clients charged with possession, distribution, trafficking, and manufacturing of controlled substances. Whether it’s marijuana, cocaine, prescription drugs, or other narcotics, we work to suppress illegal searches, reduce charges, or seek alternative sentencing when appropriate.
Assault, Threats, & Battery
Charges like simple assault, assault with a deadly weapon, or domestic violence can carry serious consequences. We investigate the facts, challenge inconsistent statements, and build a strong defense tailored to your situation.
Theft & Property Crimes
Property owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions. If you slipped, tripped, or fell due to hazards like wet floors, poor lighting, or broken stairways, we can help you file a premises liability claim.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence allegations can result in immediate protective orders, loss of child custody rights, and criminal charges. We provide discreet, strategic defense and work to protect your rights during every phase of your case.
Traffic Violations
From speeding tickets and reckless driving to driving with a revoked license, we handle all types of traffic offenses. We work to reduce points on your license, prevent insurance increases, and protect your driving record.
Probation Violations
If you’re accused of violating the terms of your probation, missing appointments, failing drug tests, or committing a new offense, we represent you at hearings and fight to keep you out of jail.
Gun & Weapon Charges
We defend clients facing unlawful possession of firearms, carrying concealed weapons without a permit, and weapon-related offenses tied to other crimes. Our firm helps challenge the legality of the search, seizure, and arrest.
Felony Charges
Serious crimes such as armed robbery, sexual assault, or aggravated assault carry life-changing consequences. We provide aggressive legal defense and fight to protect your freedom at every turn.
MEET ANDREW COVINGTON
Your Advocate When Everything Is on the Line
I’m Andrew Covington, and my purpose as a criminal defense attorney is clear: to stand between you and the full force of the criminal justice system, and fight like your freedom depends on it, because it does.
My passion for criminal defense is rooted in a core belief: every person deserves a voice, a fair shot, and a relentless advocate in their corner. I know what it means to be underestimated, judged too quickly, or labeled without being heard. That’s why I’ve built my practice around the principle that your past doesn’t define your future, and one mistake shouldn’t cost you everything.
My journey into law didn’t begin in a courtroom, it began in the music industry, where I worked as a recording artist. It was there I first saw how vulnerable people can be without the right protection, and how powerful legal advocacy can truly be. That experience sparked something deeper in me: a drive to fight for those who feel powerless in the face of complex systems.
I went on to earn my law degree from Elon University School of Law, where I was proud to be part of the school’s very first graduating class from its pioneering 2.5-year program. That accelerated training demanded discipline, commitment, and creativity—qualities I now bring to every defense case I handle.
Since founding Covington Law, I’ve dedicated myself to defending clients across Raleigh, Durham, and beyond—from first-time offenders to individuals facing serious felony charges. Whether it’s a DWI, drug offense, assault, theft, or probation violation, my job is not to judge. My job is to listen, protect, and fight for the best possible outcome.
