Nicholas Street

My background and years of experience enable me to effectively offer a variety of legal services to residents of Gastonia, NC and surrounding areas. My name is J. Boyce Garland, Jr., and I have been in practice of law in Gastonia, North Carolina since 1987. I obtained my undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina, where I received a B.A. in English in 1982. I then went on to receive my Juris Doctor (J.D.) from the Campbell University School of Law in 1987. I entered the practice of law in 1987 and worked as Assistant District Attorney for Gaston County until the end of 1989, trying criminal misdemeanor and felony probable cause hearings. I then entered private practice in 1990 with the law firm of Garland and Wren, P.A. and focused on real estate and contract litigation. From there, I went on to work with Nicholas Street, Attorney at Law and had a civil and criminal law practice with a heavy emphasis in plaintiffs’ personal injury work. After leaving that practice in December 1994, I returned to work in my father’s law firm while continuing my focus on a civil trial practice. After I came up short in a run for a District Court judgeship in November 2004, I started my own law practice of J. Boyce Garland, Jr., Attorney at Law. I have continued to work in the areas of estate administration, personal injury law, and criminal law and I started a family practice in 2016.
