Not worth the price and did not live up to reviews. I was recommended by 3 different professionals to a particular lawyer, whom was not availabile, and I should have walked away not only then, but the additional two times my interaction with their staff was not positive. If they sense you are unhappy they will change their tune, but overall , they have their stance from jump about your case and will do little to rise against whatever the states tide is. I wanted lawyers who were not money hungry, and who believed in my story my story and would fight ferociously for myself and my daughter. And if they didnt believe in my stance then they shouldve never agreed to represent me. Not all files were obtained in time, last minute fees were charged or billed to me (knowing im a single mother and with court around the corner) demanding funds before work was even done alnd threatening not to represent you (for not being paid for work not yet done). They also cease communication abruptly and for weeks at a time. Lots of errors happened in court that they didnt even try to correct in themoment. Nw i have to eat a loss and pay an insane amount of money to ppl who never cared about the custody battle itself. Also, not talking about retainer fee, that is indeed common sense.

I was fortunate to find the law firm of Batch, Poore & Williams, PC located in Raleigh, NC to handle a personal matter.  Attorney J. Patrick Williams consulted with me and agreed to handle the matter on my behalf.  The experience I had with Atty. J. Patrick Williams and his staff was one of the most professional, thorough, proficient, and expedient processes I have experienced with an organization.  The client care was superior, an A+ standard of service, and of the highest level of integrity.  Attorney J. Patrick Williams has an extensive knowledge of the law and served me, his client, in an exceptional manner.  I was more than pleased with the seamless manner in which Atty. Williams and the Staff, especially and including Ms. Smart, Paralegal, assisted me with resolving the personal matter.  Should a need arise in the future for his or the firm's services, I have no hesitation to make a call to their office.  Batch, Poore & Williams, PC is a rare find, and the organization maintains a high standard of conducting business.  Attorney J. Patrick Williams is a brilliant legal mind, and a very personable and compassionate professional.  Thank you, Attorney Williams, and the Staff of Batch, Poore & Williams, PC.

Patrick was phenomenal throughout my process. My case took over a year to complete. Throughout the whole process Patrick remain professional and followed up in a timely manner. I recommend anyone to this law firm. I am happy and satisfied with my results. Don't hesitate to give this firm a call.

Sydney Batch was very helpful in answering our questions and giving info about parent's rights.

Sidney Batch appears to be an awesome, caring, highly intelligent attorney. Would definitely recommend her!

Friendly, professional, respectful, on point and very precise. You can't go wrong with the Breeden Law Firm.

Worth every penny of the consultation fee. After an hour on the phone I walked away with a clear, complete understanding of what my next steps needed to be.

Mr. Breeden helped us through a child custody case. If you are looking for a high quality, caring and compassionate lawyer I highly recommend using him. He works with you and cares very much about children. He listens and uses all the details you give him to complete your case. He will fight for what is right and just. We were very pleased with his service and his all our communication through our very long and extensive trial. You won't be disappointed, at least we weren't! Thnk you for all you do Mr. Breeden!

Apart from being a huge supporter of his local community and schools, Mr. Breeden and his firm are top notch! Mr. Breeden presented all options to help me make the best decision. He and his team worked tirelessly through the Covid-19 to ensure that my case was taken care of in a professional manner.

I cannot say enough good things about the excellent service I have received from not only Mr. Breeden but also Danyelle and his entire team. I was able to get my questions and concerns addressed in a timely matter. The timeline initially provided to me for my legal matter to be handled went as planned. Any time that I called or emailed with questions, they were addressed promptly. I would highly recommend this firm for your needs.

The McIlveen Family Law Firm is outstanding. I would highly recommend them for anyone dealing with a child custody matter. I’m a father and had a child custody matter that the law firm handled with the utmost professionalism. I would highly recommend Ashley Stucker. When choosing a lawyer, you want someone that is going to be well prepared and fight on you behalf, Ashley was just that. She was well prepared, knew the facts of the case, and easily broke down every step of the process. Her trial questions and closing were absolutely perfect! If you have a child custody matter the first person you should call is the McIlveen law firm and ask for Ashley.

My mother and I had to revise and create very important documents. Raven worked with us directly, and truly we could NOT have been more pleased. She and all at the office were of course unaware of anything my mother and I had experienced with the sudden passing of my Daddy several years ago, and anything dealing with this and his and her estate can bring up tender memories. Raven was literally the MOST PERFECT PERSON to work with. She was so patient with my mother, spoke clearly and carefully, and answered every single question as if we were her only assignment for the day. I would not hesitate one moment to recommend Breeden Law Office to anyone with a need for their services. We were able to meet Mr. Breeden who was incredibly kind and polite. Their interns Claudia and Aujay were phenomenal in helping with our process. Please give this firm your business and rest assured you will be cared for honestly and kindly.

My recent experience at Breeden Law Office has given me the peace of mind so necessary at this time in my life. No effort was spared making sure I understood all the documents drawn up for me and for my family. The office staff made us feel we were important and worthy of their best efforts.

I am very happy with Mr. Breeden and his staff, they responded to my initial call quickly and started the Litigation promptly. The end result being better than I had expected. Mr. Breeden was also very respectful of the situation and handled my frustration well.

Jonathan is the man! He is a hard charging go getter! He won’t admit it but he is extremely passionate about being able to help kids in difficult situations. He is always concerned about their well being no matter their age; adult, teen or youngster. Master communicator, keeps you well informed. Firmly speaks on your behalf with your interest in mind at all times. Breeden Law Office is on your side!

Holly King is amazing counselor that Raleigh has not discovered yet. Her demeanor, her knowledge to touch and heal through family cases, and her kindness to never give up are out of the ordinary. She cares like family and her tenacity to win my cases gave me hope for better future in America. And she won every steps of the way of lifting me up. I take Holly as my Personal Hero. Someone who has softened all rough places in my life and it made all the differences. I am grateful to God for Holly King every single day of my life in the U.S. I am just blessed to have met her. I do hope that you will find the Angel of God in her as she work with you. Please, treasure her a we her clients do.

Excellent firm. I worked with Amy Britt and Meredith Parker and these ladies well exceeded my expectations. Without a doubt they are everything their reputation claims. I could not have been treated any better and these two lawyers are superlative and a delight to work with.

TOP NOTCH lawyers at a TOP NOTCH law firm. I've known the partners at Cheshire Parker for more than two decades. HIGHLY regarded in the profession as leaders in the law. Smart. Hard Working. Compassionate. They are most definitely "lawyers' lawyers." I am proud to endorse them. They are both professional legal colleagues and friends. Bill Powers Attorney at Law Powers McCartan, PLLC Charlotte NC

Very bad at communication, sent numerous emails and called but the attorney never returned my call. I suggest you look elsewhere.

Katelyn Heath and the entire team at Raleigh Divorce Law Firm were amazing to work with during a long and difficult divorce. Katelyn was great at explaining the process and patiently answered my many, many questions. She always focused on what would be best for me and my children without being aggressive or punitive to the other party. I felt very confident having her as my advocate and would not hesitate to recommend her legal services to anyone in need of a divorce lawyer.

I could not recommend Jennifer enough, she was clear about all of my options, gave great professional guidance and supported my decisions throughout. She was very responsive, punctual and patient even when opposing counsel was not. She was very prepared for ALL scenarios and brought me confidence and ease with the decisions I was making and the whole process. She was firm with opposing counsel and ultimately got an outcome I was happy with. I will definitely use her again shall the situation arise.

As a Guardian Ad Litem volunteer, I have been so blessed by the philanthropic arm of Raleigh Divorce Law Firm. When one of the children whom I was a guardian for turned 18 and aged out of care, they provided the most thoughtful gift I could imagine for me to deliver. I think every potential client should consider that when they hire from this law firm, they are also enabling the support of children in the foster care system in our community--and that is a beautiful thing.

Good Quality, Good Value, Professional, Responsive, Respectful, Kind Loving, Caring, Diverse, Patient.... There are not enough words in any thesaurus nor dictionary to explain how admirable the people of firm truly are. I have been in a dark tunnel for years regarding my case. Mrs. Forshey literally took me by the hand and accepted my case that was so simple yet so complex. Morgan Thomas has represented and been there for me well beyond what was required. She has not only represented me she has been there for me when no one else was. If you could only understand the agony and mental anguish I suffered through for years with this case prior to meeting Raleigh Divorce Law Firm. It brings tears to my eyes. I can't believe its over. Now for the better half of my years I will spend with my child in peace and love. I am forever eternally greatly. I'll never be able to full pay you for the extraordinary deeds service you rendered to me. What I can do is say a from the bottom of my heart to yours God Bless you all and thank you!!! Also, Thank you again!

First off I would like to give thanks to Heather, Jennifer, Diane, and the rest of the AMAZING team that worked with me on my child custody case. I will not go into details of the case but I will say it was a high conflict case. Heather was not only professional but she showed sincerity in her work, and was an extreme asset in my case. I can honestly say, without her expertise in the field of law the outcome would not have been as favorable as it was. As a single father battling for his two young daughters, I knew I was fighting an uphill battle. Heather focused on the bigger picture instead of just looking at the immediate details of the case. She brought all the positivity up that I provide our children as her main goal. Not only did she bring out the positivity but she provided expert advice for me to conduct on my own in order to help my case. I was advised to seek counseling and I reluctantly agreed, which helped out in the end. I can confirm that Heather and her team are absolute experts in their field. Not only was Heathers advice for me extremely helpful, but her and her team were very punctual and easy to get ahold of. I live in California which gave me a slight disadvantage for contacting them and returning emails during work hours. Regardless, they were always available if I needed to have a quick chat about something that came up. I was very pleased to have such an attentive team on my (and my daughters) side. When it came to our permanent custody hearing I was nervous because I knew the odds were against me. That is until I saw Heather and an entire entourage of legal aids, assistant attorneys, and helping hands that were walking along side her. They were carrying multiple luggage sized carts with notebooks, legal textbooks, trial notebooks for each one of them, and everything else you could possibly imagine that would secure a victory. THEY WERE PREPARED!!! This was one of the most relieving moments during our hearing. Not to mention my ex's attorney brought only a trial notebook that was maybe 1/50th of what Heather and the team had brought with them. As the hearing commenced I was consistently attacked by my ex's attorney and witnesses, which seemed to be the standard. I was even yelled at from one of the witnesses! Heather and Jennifer reassured me the entire time that we were fine and to maintain cool, calm, and collected. This tactic was very useful and showed me that Heather and Jennifer were very experienced and were able to maintain their composure during the very stressful times. And to wrap this up, I can truly say that I gained not only the outcome that I was seeking for custody, but I also gained some new friends. They became friends not because of the outcome, but because I knew they were not just in it for the victory or money. They showed compassion, emotion, and true dedication to getting an outcome that was best for my children. I will forever be thankful for the work Heather, Jennifer, and Diane did for my daughters and me. I hope this review helps somebody out that is in need of an amazing legal team. I hope that more dads that are truly in a situation where they need the best, are able to find Heather and her team and get he help they need.

If you could only understand the agony and mental anguish I suffered through for years with this case prior to meeting Raleigh Divorce Law Firm. It brings tears to my eyes. I can't believe its over. Now for the better half of my years I will spend with my child in peace and love. I am forever eternally greatly. I'll never be able to full pay you for the extraordinary deeds service you rendered to me. What I can do is say a from the bottom of my heart to yours God Bless you all and thank you!!! Also, Thank you again!

    First off I would like to give thanks to Heather, Jennifer, Diane, and the rest of the AMAZING team that worked with me on my child custody case. I will not go into details of the case but I will say it was a high conflict case. Heather was not only professional but she showed sincerity in her work, and was an extreme asset in my case. I can honestly say, without her expertise in the field of law the outcome would not have been as favorable as it was. As a single father battling for his two young daughters, I knew I was fighting an uphill battle. Heather focused on the bigger picture instead of just looking at the immediate details of the case. She brought all the positivity up that I provide our children as her main goal. Not only did she bring out the positivity but she provided expert advice for me to conduct on my own in order to help my case. I was advised to seek counseling and I reluctantly agreed, which helped out in the end. I can confirm that Heather and her team are absolute experts in their field. Not only was Heathers advice for me extremely helpful, but her and her team were very punctual and easy to get ahold of. I live in California which gave me a slight disadvantage for contacting them and returning emails during work hours. Regardless, they were always available if I needed to have a quick chat about something that came up. I was very pleased to have such an attentive team on my (and my daughters) side. When it came to our permanent custody hearing I was nervous because I knew the odds were against me. That is until I saw Heather and an entire entourage of legal aids, assistant attorneys, and helping hands that were walking along side her. They were carrying multiple luggage sized carts with notebooks, legal textbooks, trial notebooks for each one of them, and everything else you could possibly imagine that would secure a victory. THEY WERE PREPARED!!! This was one of the most relieving moments during our hearing. Not to mention my ex's attorney brought only a trial notebook that was maybe 1/50th of what Heather and the team had brought with them. As the hearing commenced I was consistently attacked by my ex's attorney and witnesses, which seemed to be the standard. I was even yelled at from one of the witnesses! Heather and Jennifer reassured me the entire time that we were fine and to maintain cool, calm, and collected. This tactic was very useful and showed me that Heather and Jennifer were very experienced and were able to maintain their composure during the very stressful times. And to wrap this up, I can truly say that I gained not only the outcome that I was seeking for custody, but I also gained some new friends. They became friends not because of the outcome, but because I knew they were not just in it for the victory or money. They showed compassion, emotion, and true dedication to getting an outcome that was best for my children. I will forever be thankful for the work Heather, Jennifer, and Diane did for my daughters and me. I hope this review helps somebody out that is in need of an amazing legal team. I hope that more dads that are truly in a situation where they need the best, are able to find Heather and her team and get he help they need.

Attorney Rojas immediately took my case in and handled it as if it were his only one. His firm is extremely proficient and professional in all of their dealings. As a law enforcement officer I have encountered many Attorneys but few to the caliber of Attorney Rojas. Highly recommend his services.

Got a speeding ticket in Wake County. Received like 15 letters in the mails from attorneys. Called most of them back. He was the only one who called me back. That immediately earned my business. Everyone else had a clerk or front desk person, etc. talk to me, whereas the attorney himself took the time to review my case with me on the phone for 10 minutes. Love the attention and care Carlos brings to his practice and his clients.

Carlos helped me handle an issue that was going on for 3 years in a timely and efficient manner from the moment I contacted him and helped me resolve the issue quicker then I ever could have imagined possible. I thought I was doomed to be dealing with this issue forever but Carlos and his team brought me a peace of mind knowing I can now move on with my life without the stress of dealing with an unresolved legal matter. Thank you Carlos Rojas!

WOW! Amazing customer service and timely expert opinion. I was extremely pleased with Rojas Law during my legal woes. Carlos was very respectful, supportive, and objective. He was always punctual and made himself readily available at my time of need. I highly recommend his services to anyone that needs outstanding legal matters resolved.

Carlos Rojas is very intelligent and hardworking attorney! His office is a pleasure to work with, always positive and upbeat, they are happy to help you and guide you through the tedious and sometimes stressful situations.

Such a welcoming office! Ana is great and accommodating to times that you need to work around. Everything was ready and waiting for us when we got there, things are explained in an excellent manor and it was a quick visit to prep our seller's documents. Love doing business here!

Honest, kind and giving are not typical words you hear for a lawyer, but they definitely describe Jeff Horsley. I came to Jeff with a toxic landlord issue and he helped me sort through the mess and got to work fast. He was even very considerate of my finances and told me he would walk me through small claims court instead of him representing me since his fees are so high. Another lawyer would not be that considerate. We appreciate all his help and are thankful we were referred to him.

Jeff Horsley handled my separation and divorce, mediation, related court appearances, and ultimately assisting in the closing of a jointly owned property. Jeff is always professional and courteous with vast knowledge and experience. I am grateful for his help and guidance and would not hesitate to recommend him. I always felt Jeff always acted in my best interest, taking the time to get to understand me and my needs, always explaining in detail the preferred course of action.

We worked with Jeff in 2013 as our closing attorney when we purchased our home. They were fantastic to work with! Easy communication, thorough paperwork, and a simple signing process at the table. When we wanted to refinance there was no question who we would ask again to work with. We are working with Horsley again the second time around and would recommend them to our friends & family. Thanks Jeff for making this an easy choice. Great service and excellent follow through.

Horsley Law handled the closing on a refinance for my home. The mortgage company wanted to send out a paralegal to close but I felt more comfortable handling in a law office. Having done this both ways previously I am glad I opted for going to the attorney and Horsley Law was a great choice. Ana was very responsive in getting the paperwork prepared quickly and had no problem with last minute changes. Frank was the attorney handling the closing and was very thorough in explaining what each item was as we went thorough. My wife and I were very pleased with the whole experience and do not see how it could have gone any better.

Charles represented me and I have nothing but positive feedback. Besides his knowledge of the law, his counseling and empathic manner was invaluable to me during such a turbulent period was invaluable. Highest recommendation possible

Charles Ullman & Associates is certainly the best law firm in all of North Carolina. I had a very difficult and challenging divorce case, that required a keen knowledge of the law, as well as a dedicated commitment to achieve the best outcome. Charles Ullman provided all of this, and more. Charles Ullman and his staff were always available, providing 5 Star Service and support. There was never a question in my mind, that Charles Ullman would achieve the best outcome for my case. He absolutely did just that. Most importantly, everyone at Charles Ullman & Associates, really cared about my challenges, and they all took personal ownership of my case. Charles Ullman & Associates is an AWESOME law firm, complete with AWESOME people that I now consider true friends of mine!!!! The BEST of the BEST!!!!

Charles R. Ullman and his team are an amazing group of people. While going through trying times they made this process efficient and handled it with the utmost professionalism. He has amazing people working for him, Amber, Roz, Matt, and everyone else was extremely enjoyable individuals and as a team they are extremely amazing at getting results. Very responsive and willing to work day and night for there clients. I would strongly recommend this business to anyone who needs this service and wants the best representation during those difficult times.

Charles and his team turned what is typically one of the most stressful experiences of your life into a well thought out journey to get from the nightmare of being accused of Domestic Violence and then a divorce into the next phase of a peace filled life. In my case, Charles won me the protection of a Domestic Violence Protection Order and then had it extended the following year for the maximum North Carolina allows. The facts helped a lot - yet having a client that looks like he stepped of the set of the Sopranos had to make this difficult. Charles and his team invested in all the preparation I wanted for the hearings and divorce process. While many people during and at the end of this process get upset with their attorney; I feel like I made a new friend!

I called for a consult for my sister and they didn’t have anyone to help her out today. We had money to pay and let them know it was an emergency but we’re told to look on Google for someone else.

Jeff and his staff was OUTSTANDING handling my custody case. My case was very complex, and I had to switch through several lawyers before getting Jeff. He was patient, honest, and very transparent. He untied all the knots that were in my case, and got the resolution that I desired. I do not think I would have been able to get this outcome without Jeff and his staff. If you have a complex issue that you need to be worked out, CALL JEFFREY MARSHALL! They are the BEST!!

Lillie Ashworth is so amazing. No one ever really wants to need the services of a divorce attorney, however, when a friend recommended Lillie, I knew I was putting myself in the most capable hands immediately. She had the ability to balance what was incredibly personal and emotional to me with the professionalism and the knowledge of the court systems and the laws that we were getting ready to navigate. One of the hardest parts, I found in this process was how long the state of North Carolina makes it, and trying to get through this with the added obstacle of Covid. I know I would have never been able to do this without her keeping me calm and focused on the tasks at hand. Divorce is a business transaction at its core, but she was able to be very sensitive to my feelings while still guiding. She was very organized and kept me up to date on the work that she was doing behind the scenes on my case, I never felt like my case was not the most important thing on her desk, even though I know I was not the only client! She has the ability to look at my situation and not try and fit it into the same box as anyone else. She recognized that every case is different, and make me feel reassured. Lillie researched every aspect of my case and made me feel like she was searching for the solution to my particular problem and challenges. I would recommend her to anyone that is going through anything to do with family law. This is not an easy branch of the law, but she is able to do it with grace, compassion, knowledge and professionalism.

Jeff and his team were amazing!! I can't say enough about their professionalism, level of respect, ease of communication. They were able to make the custody process as smooth as it can be, I would highly recommend Jeff and his team!!!

I can not say enough good things about my experience. Lillie was so helpful through every step of the process. Separations and subsequent divorce are a emotional time for everyone involved. Lillie was not only super knowledgeable she was compassionate and understanding. I was so impressed with how prompt she was with all our communication and smooth the process was. I would highly recommend letting Lillie Ashworth to help guide you

I Retained Lillie to help with separation and division of assets. Shortly after I was served with papers and then it turned into litigation and ended in mediation. Which ended very well for me because of Lillie. She is spot on ! Divorce is personal, but she takes that out of play and sticks to the facts and the law. Through the entire process Lillie remained respectful, compassionate, understanding, while remaining impartial to personal conflicts. I highly recommend Lillie !
