Mr. Culbertson has 20 plus years of legal experience and is a widely recognized Federal and State court litigator. He has achieved not guilty verdicts in three first degree murder jury trials. He is licensed in North Carolina and appears regularly in Guilford County District and Superior Courts.
Mr. Culbertson has achieved rare distinctions in his legal career that set him apart from most practitioners. He has secured not guilty verdicts in three first degree murder jury trials, a difficult accomplishment that few attorneys achieve even once. His trial work extends beyond criminal defense into complex civil litigation, where he has won favorable jury verdicts in both State and Federal courts.
His appellate practice is equally distinguished. Mr. Culbertson has appeared before the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia four times for oral arguments, and one of his federal cases is officially reported in Federal Reports 3d, the definitive compilation of controlling federal case law.
