About

Michael Fanous

Attorney in Charlotte

Michael Fanous is a Criminal Defense attorney at Jetton & Meredith, PLLC, representing clients across Mecklenburg, Union, Cabarrus, Gaston, and Iredell counties. A Union County native, Michael earned his undergraduate degrees in Criminal Justice and Philosophy from East Carolina University before graduating from Elon University School of Law in 2019. During law school, he interned with the Union County District Attorney’s Office, the Guilford County Public Defender’s Office, and a private defense firm in Union County—experiences that gave him a balanced and comprehensive view of the criminal justice system.

After passing the North Carolina Bar in 2020, Michael began his legal career with a private defense firm in Raleigh. He later returned to Charlotte to serve as an Assistant District Attorney in Mecklenburg County. Over the course of three years, he prosecuted a wide variety of cases, including DWIs, domestic violence, felonies, and habitual felon matters, and conducted numerous jury trials. He also led the Scarlet Task Force, a joint state and federal initiative focused on dismantling large-scale auto theft rings.

Michael is an active member of the Mecklenburg County Bar and serves as a volunteer judge with the Teen Court program. Raised in Weddington, he graduated from Weddington High School, where he ran track and played baseball. His parents are longtime Union County residents—his father owns a local business, and his mother has worked for over 18 years as an after-school teacher in the Union County Public Schools. Outside of the office, Michael enjoys staying active and bass fishing with his brother on Lake Wylie.

    - Former Client
    "A True Professional"
    Eric Meredith represented me during what turned out to be a lengthy divorce settlement. During the first meeting, he fully explained the process ahead and answered all my questions and concerns. I still remember the feeling of relief after that meeting knowing I had a true professional in my corner. Eric, along with his Paralegal Julie, kept me updated along the way and were quick to respond with any additional issues. Not only did he call with any updates to the case, he also would ask how I was doing. I cannot recommend Eric at Jetton & Meredith enough.
    - Tim
    "I highly recommend Mark should you ever need an attorney."
    I highly recommend Mark. I hired him to handle a simple assault charge that was filed against me. Mark handled it professionally and expeditiously. He explained each step in the process, and everything happened just as he described. He is exactly the type of lawyer you want representing you.

    "I cannot stress enough how great the customer service was with Jetton & Meredith"
    I cannot stress enough how great the customer service was with Jetton & Meredith, with my case being a little more complicated I had the opportunity to work with both Mr. Jetton and Mr. Meredith. I can say they know their stuff, Mr. Jetton was able to get my case dismissed the first time we went to court, no questions asked. Working with Mr. Meredith was a longer process but he walked me through the steps and gave me realistic expectations of an outcome that he was able to provide just as he stated he would do. I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision to hire Jetton & Meredith as my attorneys, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of an attorney!
    - Former Client
    "Far exceeded my expectations"
    This law office far exceeded my expectations. All options and possible outcomes were set before me from the start and everything was handled in a professional and timely manner. Not only will I use this law firm again, but I would also and have already recommended them to the people I care most for. Thank you for all you’ve done.
