David Joseph DiMaggio
Beyer & Lippert, Attorneys at Law
I am an attorney at Beyer & Lippert in Morganton, North Carolina, representing clients primarily in Burke, Caldwell, and Catawba Counties. I primarily practice criminal defense (felonies, misdemeanors, and traffic violations), family law (custody, child support, divorce, etc.), juvenile law (DJJ/DSS), small claims (evictions, monies owed, etc.), & domestic law (DVPO/50(c), victim representation).
I am a Charlotte native who graduated from Elon University School of Law summa cum laude. Prior to law school, I attended Appalachian State University where I received a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. After graduating, I began my legal career as a superior court legal assistant with the Burke, Caldwell, and Catawba County District Attorney’s Office. While contemporaneously working towards my master’s degree in criminology from Arizona State University, I assisted prosecutors with every classification of felony offense within the 36th Prosecutorial District.
While in law school, I participated on Elon Law’s Moot Court Board, finishing with a Top 10 Brief in the 2021 Emory Moot Court Competition. In the Summer of 2021, I completed an internship with Chief Justice Paul Newby of the North Carolina Supreme Court. I added federal experience by completing my residency in the Spring of 2022 with Judge Frank D. Whitney, United States District Court Judge for the Western District of North Carolina, before spending the Summer of 2022 with the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office’s Violent Crimes Team.
During law school, I was employed as a student clerk to the North Carolina Pattern Jury Instruction Criminal Subcommittee, where I assisted superior court judges in the drafting and revising of Criminal Pattern Jury Instructions based on developments in North Carolina statutory and case law. I also participated in the Guardian Ad Litem clinic, working on abuse, neglect, and dependency appeals through the law school.
