Immigration, Family Law, and Criminal Defense Legal Services in Raleigh, NC
Guirguis Law provides trusted legal services to Raleigh individuals, families, and businesses.
Our bilingual attorneys handle immigration, criminal defense, and family law with faith-driven compassion.
A Raleigh Law Firm Rooted on Fayetteville Street
Guirguis Law's office sits on Fayetteville Street, the same corridor that runs past the Wake County Courthouse and the Wake County Justice Center, just a few blocks from where many of our clients' cases are heard. That proximity matters when hearings get scheduled quickly or when a client needs to meet with their attorney before stepping into a courtroom.
Our team represents Raleigh residents in immigration proceedings, criminal defense matters, family law disputes, and civil litigation, drawing on experience gained in Wake County courtrooms and before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, located downtown near Nash Square. Whether a client lives near North Hills, Five Points, or the growing neighborhoods off Capital Boulevard, our law firm brings the same attention to every case.
As Raleigh continues to grow with new residents from across the state, the country, and the world, the need for accessible, multilingual legal services keeps pace. Guirguis Law was built for exactly that role.
Common Legal Needs Among Raleigh Residents
Raleigh's mix of state government employees, Research Triangle professionals, university students, and longtime families creates a wide range of legal needs. Our attorneys regularly assist clients with:
- Immigration matters, including green card applications, naturalization, and deportation defense for the area's growing international workforce
- Family law issues such as divorce, child custody, and child support arrangements as households near North Hills and Brier Creek grow and change
- Criminal defense for DWI, drug offenses, and felony charges, including cases tied to downtown Raleigh's Glenwood South entertainment district
- Personal injury and wrongful death claims following collisions on the I-440 Beltline, I-40, or Capital Boulevard
- Estate planning through wills, trusts, and guardianship designations for retirees and young families alike
- Civil litigation covering business disputes, breach of contract claims, and workplace discrimination matters
Each of these needs calls for a different kind of legal knowledge, which is why our attorneys build practices around specific areas of law rather than trying to be generalists.

What to Expect
Working With Our Raleigh Legal Team
Clients coming to our downtown office often aren't sure what the legal process looks like from the outside. Here's how a typical engagement unfolds.
Initial Legal Consultation
We start with a legal consultation to understand your situation, whether it's an immigration filing, a pending criminal charge, or a family law dispute, and outline your realistic options.
Case Review and Strategy
Our attorneys review documents, court records, or immigration filings in detail, then build a strategy tailored to Wake County courts or the relevant federal agency.
Representation and Filing
We handle court appearances, filings, and negotiations on your behalf, keeping you informed at each stage rather than leaving you guessing about next steps.
Resolution and Ongoing Support
Once your matter resolves, whether through a judgment, an approved petition, or a signed settlement, we remain available for follow-up questions or future legal needs.
