A Law Firm Rooted in the Johnston County Seat
Smithfield holds a unique place in Johnston County as its county seat, home to the Johnston County Courthouse on Market Street where many local criminal, family, and civil matters are heard. Guirguis Law regularly represents clients in these proceedings, giving our attorneys firsthand familiarity with local judges, court staff, and case procedures.
From the historic storefronts of Downtown Smithfield near the Ava Gardner Museum to the neighborhoods along Buffalo Road and US-70 Business, our firm serves residents across every corner of town. Whether a client works at one of the distribution centers off I-95 or runs a small business near the Carolina Premium Outlets, we bring the same dedication to every consultation.
As an immigration law firm with nationwide reach and a Johnston County presence, we understand the specific pressures facing Smithfield's growing immigrant community, agricultural workers, and multigenerational families who call this town home.
