Civil Litigation

Mr. Johnson and everyone at DeMent Askew went above and beyond in their handling of our case. They genuinely cared for the well-being of my husband and my family. I have used them for other legal matters as well, and would definitely recommend them to anyone with any type of personal injury case, no matter how serious.

I want to thank Mr. DeMent for helping me out with my DWI case.  I was truly not very optimistic in my chances with my case, but on the day of my trial Mr. DeMent vigorously argued in my favor that the officer did not have probable cause for my arrest. I truly appreciate his efforts in saving me from a DWI conviction and everything unfortunate that goes along with that conviction.

Five stars! About a year and a half ago I came to Russell with what seemed to be an impossible case to win and he told me I had a low percentage of walking away with the outcome I was asking for. However today my case got settled and it ended just how I was hoping. He's definitely the guy to call when you get yourself in a bind and need some help working it out.

DeMent and his team were not only thorough, but patient, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. I had several things going against me in my case, and DeMent was still able to deliver a not guilty verdict.  Definitely one of the top criminal defense attorneys in the area.

Mr. DeMent and his team are fantastic! I am a very satisfied client, and I highly recommend using them if you ever find yourself in a tight spot. They took care of me, and they'll take care of you.

Simply outstanding experience across the board.  Rusty is the best in the business. He makes it all painless and doesn't miss a beat.  Thanks for the outstanding service.

Rusty was a tremendous help. He never gave up his determination to give me a favorable outcome! Wonderful legal staff, especially Freda. Would definitely recommend Rusty as a great legal source.

Most recently I retired after thirty years as a North Carolina State Trooper and I witnessed first hand their diligence in court.  From this professional relationship has developed a true friendship. I cannot say you will develop the same friendship but I can guarantee you will develop the same trust and professional relationship many have experienced.

I have had the privilege of knowing Mr. DeMent for years. He is one of the most professional and competent attorneys in our State (NC). If you are looking for an attorney that will serve as a zealous and honorable advocate for you, give him a call. You will be so glad you did.

I'm a retired law enforcement officer. I had several cases involving this firm both against and with. If I needed a lawyer I wouldn't hesitate to call a true professional that is DeMent. If you need a lawyer you need DeMent.

Rusty DeMent has represented me in three different matters. The results he obtained in each of the three matters exceeded my expectations. Rusty is an excellent lawyer and a great communicator. Would recommend him to anyone who needs help navigating the criminal justice system.

I recently requested the services of Mr. Dement.  I was impressed with the professionalism, diligence and concern that he incorporated into his work.  I would definitely recommend him as a reliable and trustworthy legal source.

Rusty DeMent is an amazing attorney that has helped my family on many occasions. His entire office has always been prompt, professional, and compassionate on all issues. Each time I get personal service from everyone in the office. I refer all my coworkers and friends to Rusty when they need legal advice, because I feel like I get his full attention when I need him in the courtroom.

Mr. Marshall went above and beyond to help me resolve my case in the best possible manner. He was very professional, understanding of my situation and I couldn't have hoped for a better resolution to the matter. Thank you Mr. Marshall for your help with my case!

I reached out to Attorney Alex's office randomly as I was seeking a Criminal Attorney, Alex took the time out from his busy schedule to hear my case. This man was a life saver and I'm so grateful for his professionalism. He worked diligently on my case and covered all areas to bring me through a horrific issue.  If you're looking for a criminal attorney, please reach out to Attorney Alex Marshall. 

The BEST!!! Hire him, you will not be disappointed. He took care of us from start to finish. Thanks J. Alex Marshall

I'm leaving this review for anybody dealing with a criminal offense whether it's minor or major. Attorney Alex Marshall is the most dedicated and passionately aggressive attorney, in my opinion, I have ever hired to represent me. His dedication to his work and clients is very impressive. 

Great experience with Mr. Marshall as an attorney, from the Professionalism, knowledge, and also the loving care shown by Mia Chapman and others at the firm I could not leave them out. Thank you all!!

Mr Alex [Marshall] is simply the best. He really took the time to know me, and then went to work for me. I was pleased with the outcome of my case, and could never have asked for a better Legal Representation. I would recommend to anyone who would want to get solid backing and quality legal representation out there! 

I needed a new attorney immediately! I found Alex online and when I read his bio I felt he was the guy for me. Once we met and talked I discovered I was right! He learned my case in a matter of hours, communicated great and took control of it. My outcome was better than I thought it could have been and it was only due to his efforts.

Rusty DeMent got my felony dropped. He was completely polite and professional so was his paralegal who always answered the phone while I was in jail and always took the time to answer my questions.

Mr. Marshall was highly recommended by law enforcement officers. After the first conversation with Mr. Marshall I was confident that I had found the right person to represent me. This case was handled quickly and had the best possible outcome. If I ever need an attorney in the future Mr. Marshall would be my first call.

The best in the business! I work with lawyers every day, and when i needed one, Rusty and Alex were my first call. #dismissed

Excellent Attorney. Listens, understand and will go above and beyond to get the best results for his clients. Thank you Attorney Marshall.

We first met Alex when he was a public defender, assigned to our son. His knowledge of the law, strategizing and courtroom competence allowed our son to be treated fairly ... and the results were outstanding. When we next needed legal counsel, Alex was our best choice. The trust has always been earned!

Alex Marshall is the best of the best!!! I must say he handled my daughters case with professionalism and grace - All charges DISMISSED and now she has the opportunity to continue her career in the military. My child wasn't the best client when it came to her attitude - but he stayed firm and true! Thank You and your team!

DeMent Askew & Johnson team is the consummate professional team with Rusty Dement at the helm paralegal assistant Nia are always available for any questions and concerns with your case ... he presented my case like a dream after the trial in the lobby people gathered around to commend his performance, it was spectacular, I would recommend him to anyone needing representation bar none.

My case was not a simple one, it lasted for almost 3 years. The group at DeMent Askew & Johnson never left my side, they helped me through every step of the process and stood strong beside me when I was ready to give up. I will forever be grateful for their experienced team and the values of the firm. 10 out of 10 highly recommend​.​

Rusty was referred to me by close friends that work in both state and federal law enforcement after I was egregiously charged with several felonies. His team seamlessly helped me make arrangements to quickly navigate the issue, and Im happy to say all my charges were dismissed with me never having to step foot in a court room.  This is the defense attorney you need to hire.

The team at DeMent, Askew, Johnson and Marshall are incredible. Timely responses to all my questions and answers to things I didn't even think to ask. They got all my issues sorted and the stress of dealing with it off my shoulders. Best firm in the triangle.
