Over 75 Years of Tradition

For more than a seventy five (75) years, one law firm set the standardin the Durham legal and civic landscape. Stubbs, Cole, Breedlove, Prentis & Biggs P.L.L.C. is synonymous with quality legal representation and commitment to the Durham community. Stubbs, Cole, Breedlove, Prentis & Biggs, P.L.L.C. is now the oldest Durham law firm practicing today.

Areas of Practice

In 1932, Allston J. Stubbs began his law practice in Durham. For three decades, Mr. Stubbs developed a law practice concentrating on residential and commercial real estate transactions and representing banking and commercial institutions - areas of legal expertise that were strengthened when C. Thomas Biggs and James A. Cole Jr. joined with him in the 1960s.

This new partnership grew in the years that followed, maintaining an emphasis on real estate transactions and representation of banking institutions while broadening the practice into all areas of civil law and limited areas of criminal law.

Long-Term Client Relationships

Throughout its growth, Stubbs Cole has remained committed to the belief that rendering legal representation is about more than resolving a single issue. We believe that it is about building long-term relationships with clients. From buying a first home to dealing with the death of a family member, these attorneys believe in providing legal counsel for any matter arising in the lives of their clients.
