I worked with Lynn at Montgomery Family Law to adopt my stepchildren. She let me know the entire process upfront. She made everything smoothe and easy. She responded to emails quickly and I was never left guessing where we were in the adoption process. I would definitely recommend!

Awesome team with great responsiveness and care for their clients! Was very impressed with the services performed and would highly recommend to anyone!! Thank you Lynn and team!

Wonderful experience! Through such a frustrating and emotional time this team made me feel confident that they had my best interest at hand and they were always available to answer my questions. I would even get email responses on the weekend. They eased every concern I had. The firms prices are fair and reasonable too. The entire team works towards the common goal, making you happy and getting you the expected outcome. Lynn is an extremely compassionate person and an excellent attorney. Scott is an amazing attorney and extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of his profession. Thank you all for helping me with all my needs and reassuring me that things will go well... and they did! I would absolutely recommend this firm to anyone who may need this type of service.. They are best!!!!

Lynn Montgomery is a fantastic lawyer. Not just for her legal expertise, but the care and attention she provides cannot be surpassed. She works tirelessly to make every issue a priority and ensures you are comfortable at every step. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Had a great experience with Lynn and her staff. They clearly know what they are doing and make sure it's done right and answer any questions you may have. Very polite and professional. I definitely would recommend them for any family related law work.

I cannot say enough about the professionalism and guidance Andrea Doyle and her law firm gave me during the divorce process. Andrea and her staff constantly made me feel at peace during one of the most stressful times of my life. I find it hard to believe you will find a better staff of incredible professionals who will be there for you in every way.

I hired Andrea Doyle as my lawyer for my divorce and she was great to work with! Very professional and kind. I had started the divorce before the Covid 19 started getting crazy but in the middle everything started shutting down. Even though it took longer then expected thanks to the shut downs this law firm didn’t let me down! They kept in touch the whole time and were just amazing! They are super affordable too! I am thankful for everything they have haloed me with! I’d definitely highly recommend them!

I needed help with an unwanted separation by my wife. Ann Margaret treated everything very professional and I felt like she truly cared about me and my situation. I didn’t always like her advice but she kept me out of trouble. Separation and divorce are never simple and leave deep scars. After two long term successful marriages which ended in my wives dying from cancer I felt like marriage fit me well. However the lady I married 3 years ago and I was very happy with and thought she happy too but she abandoned me. It was very emotional and Ann Margaret helped me keep my wits about me and not make matters worse. Thank you Ann Margaret.

Ann-Margaret Alexander and the entire staff were always responsive to my needs and explained the options that were available at each point in the divorce process and guided me to a mediated settlement. The overall price was fair and I am very glad I chose Ann to represent me.

I made an appointment two weeks in advance, I arrived 15 minutes early for paperwork, which I completed. I waited 20 minutes past appoint time in waiting room, then was put in conference room for next 10 minutes, then receptionist came in to inform me attorney was on phone and would be a bit. I was very frustrated just sitting waiting, while the office was quiet and the attorney was working in her office. I finally just left, I own a small business, I would not treat a customer like that, I was very surprised, very unprofessional I thought. If she didn't have time for appointment she should've cancelled.

Miles Williams and his staff were phenomenal navigating me and my kids through a tough divorce. One of my greatest concerns were about my kids... and he was able to make that a priority throughout the proceedings.

I am so thankful for the Williams Law Group. The way Miles and his team skillfully and respectfully handled every detail of a particularly high stress, tense, and difficult season in my life was apparent every step of the way. Miles is calm, fair and thoughtful, and he effectively fought for truly the best outcome. I couldn't be happier with Miles, Teresa and Mellisa, and I am truly grateful for their hard work. -Doug L.

My first attorney couldn't handle my case so I was referred to Miles. His team are like a family fighting for you and encouraging you every step of the way. When it seemed like litigation was the only way Miles negotiated a deal that I was happy with. I would highly recommend this amazing team to anyone.

I have worked with The Williams Law Group for quite some time now and I will say that I am 100% satisfied with the family law services that they have provided to me. They are always professional and knowledgeable. They keep me informed of the process, step by step and work in a timely manor. I am beyond thankful for Miles Williams and all of his staff. I highly recommend each of them.

Excellent legal advice with a compassionate and realistic approach. Highly recommend!

Rosen Law helped me understand what my options were during a complex and difficult time. Lindsay was extremely responsive and supportive throughout the process, ensuring I felt safe and protected. Would recommend this firm without hesitation.

I found the Rosen Law Firm team to be very responsive and dedicated to their work. I liked the fixed price model as it let us focus on what needed to be done not how much each individual task would cost. I thought that my attorney was very detailed oriented and persistent, both of which were important.

Rosen has been all around professional and supportive from the start. The constant check ins from Kinsey made the process smooth and less stressful. Shaunis met with me in the beginning and she built my confidence and put me at ease. Anna Ayscue represented me throughout the divorce process and I could not be more grateful. Rosen has a team of true professional lawyers that make a stressful situation as simple as possible. They complete the needed paperwork and the flat fee is easier to budget than the unknown costs of other law offices.

Great group of people to work with. I appreciate all they did for me. Definitely recommend RLF to anyone needing legal representation.

Rosen law firm prepared a comprehensive separation agreement for me. They walked me through every step. Most importantly everyone I spoke to listened to me and supported my goals. Their diligence made negotiation very straightforward and ultimately my outcome was favorable and equitable. Before speaking to this firm, I spoke to one other firm that was not encouraging and dismissed my perspective entirely. This firm, Holly Groh, Shaunis, and Kinsey were wonderful to deal with and I have to repeat this ... they listened to me and in the end met my objectives. I agree with other reviewers, the flat fee eliminated a lot of stress and uncertainty. I highly recommend this firm.

Going through a divorce was exhausting, heart breaking, and draining (personally and financially) but with the expert guidance of Ms. Stephenson i knew I was in great hands. Thankfully, New Direction Family Law and all of their associates provided safety, care, and were incredibly attentive to my needs and concerns. Fizzy was such an amazing advocate and communicated with me regularly. They all do a great job in explaining the process, sharing options, and describing in regular plain-speak what to expect. I can’t speak more highly of this organization and their commitment to their clients. Divorce is hard but it won’t break you if you have the right lawyer to guide you through the process and take control of a tough situation.

My husband contacted NDFL a little over a year ago for a consultation with Carly Baker regarding child custody and visitation with his son. We live out of state in WV, and his child lives in Raleigh with his mother, so obviously good communication was very important to us as it just wasn't as easy for us to come into the office and do in person meetings. We immediately liked Carly very much, and felt she was very straightforward and practical, but also optimistic about my husbands case, and we got the impression from the beggining that the entire office was going to be efficient and very easy to work with. He had a few other consultations, but no one else made as big of an impression on him. He chose to retain Carly. From the get go it was very clear he had made the right choice. Carly was steady and reliable, while also being willing to be bold, and truly caring about his case's outcome, and his and his son's relationship. She and her paralegal Rosa had extremely good communication with us, we were never left in Limbo wondering what was happening, they were always prompt with not only responding to my husband, but also with communicating with opposing council. When Carly accepted an offer from another law firm, our case was transfered to Chris Hicks, and again, we had another great experience with Chris and Rosa. We were concerned about switching lawyers in the middle of the case, but they both did their best make the transition smooth. We also felt that both of our lawyers and their paralegal Rosa honestly cared about where and how our funds were being spent, and they did everything they could to give us the best value for what we paid them. From having Rosa prepare as much as possible to save on the hourly fee, to being straightforward with us as to what actions made the most financial sense while still being aggressive with his case, we always felt their billing was very fair. The entire firm, from the receptionists all the way up to the lawyers were always on top of their game and so nice and receptive. Both my husband and I are incredibly thankful that he had this law firm on his side, and we would recommend them and both lawyers to anyone needing a family lawyer in NC.

Chris Hicks was fantastic to work with! He was always responding quickly to all requests, which is a rare find with lawyers. He also had excellent turn around time with writing up legal motions, and all things were very well written and detailed. He was on time and ready for court proceedings, and seemed to have a good rapport with the judge - a very valuable thing when trying to have a case go your way. I'd highly recommend working with him if you ever are in need of a solid family law lawyer.

New Direction Family Law was very good to me. They helped me and just like family ! If you need Great people to get things done, look no further ! When I first met with Sarah Hink, I knew she was going to fight for my family and take no as an option. Sarah and Carrie were very responsive and professional ! Thank you for being truly the best ! I recommended to family & friends and would use them again.

Divorce is tough, and unless you have no assets, no debt or liabilities, no children, etc., you need a good lawyer. I believe I found one in Sarah Hink at New Direction Family Law. Sarah was excellent at guiding me through and explaining the processes and steps that needed to be taken to obtain the divorce. I have recommended her already to a friend who was in much the same circumstances as I was. I would recommend her again.

    Divorce is tough, and unless you have no assets, no debt or liabilities, no children, etc., you need a good lawyer. I believe I found one in Sarah Hink at New Direction Family Law. Sarah was excellent at guiding me through and explaining the processes and steps that needed to be taken to obtain the divorce. I have recommended her already to a friend who was in much the same circumstances as I was. I would recommend her again.

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!

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 !

Kisha Patel is the best, she helped me with the absolute Divorce, it was smooth it was simple, Every time I had questions I just emailed her and she always responded back pretty fast . She definitely make the process less stressful l. Thanks for everything.

This law firm was quick in response. Communication was always open. I was able to ask as many questions as possible and got all of the information I needed.

Kisha Patel and her team were a joy to work with! They were right be my side through every step of the process and guided me in the right direction! I would highly recommend them to anyone who requires more than average representation.

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.

I found McIlveen Family Law Firm at a very difficult time in my life, like so many others. Kisha Patel has been incredibly empathetic, highly knowledge and impressively responsive to my needs. She is an excellent, excellent lawyer. I am thrilled with her and know that I am in very good hands.

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.

Top firm in Raleigh. Their reputation speaks for itself.
