A Halifax NC Law Firm Rooted in Community for More Than Two Decades

For nearly 30  years, the Law Office of Franklin L. Jones Jr. has represented people from Halifax, Roanoke Rapids, Weldon, Enfield, Scotland Neck, Littleton, Hollister, Jackson, and the rural stretches between. We opened our doors to provide accessible legal help close to home—so residents wouldn’t have to travel to Raleigh or Richmond to get straight answers. Our mission remains simple: deliver honest counsel, responsive service, and determined advocacy when legal problems threaten your family, health, freedom, or livelihood.


If you’re researching Halifax NC law firm history or asking “How long has Franklin L. Jones Jr.’s law firm been in Halifax?”—the answer is: long enough to know the judges, the courthouse rhythms, and the practical realities clients face in this region of North Carolina.


From the Courthouse Steps: Local Roots, Local Access

Location matters. Our office sits directly across from the Halifax County Courthouse on US-301 South. That means quick filings, convenient in-person meetings on court days, and an attorney who spends real time inside the same courtrooms where your case will be heard. Clients from Roanoke Rapids or Weldon often meet us before or after hearings; folks driving in from Jackson or Rich Square appreciate that they can handle court and attorney meetings in one trip.


Because we’re local, we understand rural road crash patterns, agricultural job injuries, and the way small disputes between neighbors can become big legal problems. If you need directions or want to visit, see our Contact page for a map and parking info.

People You Can Reach – Our Team & Spanish-Language Support

Legal issues are stressful enough without language barriers. Our team includes Stephanie, who provides Spanish-language client support so Spanish-speaking families from Halifax, Northampton, and surrounding communities can fully understand their rights and decisions. Machine translation misses nuance; real conversations build trust. When you call 252-583-1515, ask for Spanish assistance and we’ll connect you.


Even though we’re a small firm, we prioritize responsiveness—returning calls, explaining documents, and preparing clients for what to expect in court or negotiation. You won’t be passed from department to department.

Clients choose a small town law firm in North Carolina for personal attention—and that’s how we’ve always practiced. Our guiding principles:
