My name is Danny and Ms. Darlene Harris helped me tremendously in my Civil rights lawsuit. She was professional and efficient and taught tooth and nail for me. She believes in what she does and it shows. She always answers any and all questions I had in a timely manner and made sure to explain every step of the way with me. I would highly recommend Darlene's services to anyone in need of a good Civil lawsuit.

Kate and Brett were amazing! They were always responsive, sympathetic to my needs and made such a difficult and stressful situation easier.

Katie and her staff did a phenomenal job handling my separation and divorce. They were ALWAYS available when I needed them (including after normal business hours) and could not have done a better job protecting my interests. My divorce was finalized in 2012, and to this day I carry their business cards in my wallet and hand them out whenever a Family Law topic comes up. I hope I don't need Miller Bowles Law again, but I'm glad they are there.

Seth is an outstanding attorney that answered my questions and was very prompt in his responses. When I hired him, I already had 2 failed surgeries and I was facing yet another surgery for my injury. He really looked out for my best interests and was able to negotiate an outstanding settlement against my huge employer. I was out of the state and we were able to navigate through this process without having to meet in person. He truly cared about my case and worked diligently to make sure that I had a fair settlement. I would highly recommend him

I literally thank God for Seth Bernake, without him I do not believe I would have been able to get my employer to cover the surgery I needed after my accident. I had a very complicated case medically and the insurance company played every game in the book to get out of paying but Seth knew all the tricks and ultimately got them to pay for everything. Throughout the process his professional, calm and reassuring demeanor put me at ease during what was an extremely difficult time. I would not hesitate to recommend Seth to anyone in need of a lawyer for a workman's compensation issue.

First and foremost, I contacted Mr. Bernanke based on a reference given for taking excellent care of his clients regarding workers compensation type injuries. As an insurance agent, I had a severe ankle injury resulting in my inability to perform my duties and later resulting in termination.
There were four very specific characteristics, which I looked for, in my legal counsel: thoroughness, proactive, knowledge of the systems/law and equally important was his ability to empathize and understand how these issues affected me personally.
Seth and his paralegal staff were extremely thorough in all stages of the discovery process. His follow through in ensuring I received checks on time, but made sure I was compensated appropriately was paramount.
His superb knowledge of the legal and Medicare systems surrounding workers compensation made it possible to settle my case with minimum compromise resulting in a more than adequate financial payout. I highly recommend Seth as an attorney with outstanding expertise in all aspects of understanding the value of a workers compensation case.

I worked with, and retained William Devore IV for a legal mess that I was in. I feel that his representation and consultation throughout the process exceeded my expecations. He helped streamline 2 different issues that I was having, whereupon one dealt with renters and the other my property management company. William is knowlegable, articulate and most importantly assertive with his handle on the law. He guided me along the right path and even went above the billable retainer to get my desired outcome. Hopefully, I won't need his services in the future, but if I am in a legal bind, I would have no thoughts about a different counsel.

I hired Mr. Cordero to formulate a rebuttal letter to a false memorandum I was issued at work. He interviewed me for 15 minutes and asked me to send him any written documentation that I might have concerning the situation. To my surprise his response was quick and the letter was extremely effective. The letter gave me the comfort I needed to breath at work, and do my job without feeling mistreated. I highly recommend Mr. Cordero .

Christian Gerencir is an attorney that will stand by and educate you on your options when you find yourself drowning with life’s uncommon problems. He was able to research solutions to my issues, present me with my options, and coach me through the implementation of the right potential solution for me. My family had many complex questions that Mr. Gerencir was able to quickly answer with professionalism far beyond his years. Our issues were primarily focused on a civil personal injuries claim and further he consulted on protecting assets in North Carolina. If I ever have a personal injury, auto accident, or workers comp case I know I will be in the best of hands with Mr. Gerencir as my attorney.

Christian is an outstanding lawyer and I highly suggest if you need legal advice that you contact him immediately.

I hired Jonathan to help update my will. We discussed what I had set up and all changes I needed/wanted to the will. Jonathan was very efficient and provided everything I needed.
The price was excellent.
I even asked questions that did not have anything to do with estate planning. Jonathan explained that this was not in his area of expertise, but did look into it for me.
Above and beyond.

Hired Jonathan to transfer my business from OR to NC. He was able to do it quickly and dissolve the LLC in OR. The NC govt sites arent much help in telling how to do this exactly but I am sure they would be all up your butt if you did it wrong......so glad Jonathan was able to do this for me.
Probably the easiest lawyer to client experience I have ever had!

Initially, I was very nervous about choosing an attorney. However, my first (no commitment) meeting with a McIlveen attorney in July 2015 was pretty satisfactory. Last week we had our mediation which wrapped up all the loose ends and I think the final deal was fair to both parties. My Attorney, Anna Carpenter did an excellent job by remembering all the details, having all documents ready on her laptop and being very competent in her work. So, thanks you Anna.

Mr. Thurman was a delight to work with. He and his staff were extremely kind, accommodating, and professional. Mr. Thurman went above and beyond to ensure our adoption was finalized. Example: he personally walked to the courthouse to place paperwork on the desk of the appropriate individual and, in turn, had our adoption finalized quicker than expected. He is one of a kind!

We had a very difficult adoption situation that required some one who was extremely knowledgeable in adoption law and had years of experience with adoption cases. Mr. Thurman was both of those things. On top of that, he was honest with us and didn't "beat around the bush." He told us what he knew, what he expected and what our course of action should be. He walked us through the entire process and when we went before the State Supreme Court of North Carolina, he represented our case with dignity, respect and confidence. Our adoption is now finalized and we are a forever family thanks to the hard work and determination of Mr. Thurman. I recommend Mr. Thurman to all my friends and family dealing with adoption matters.

I'm a Developer/Broker in Uptown Charlotte & have contracted Ron several times this year. Ron has assisted me with several closings both personally and with clients. Ron is always prepared and detail oriented when going over all paper work; he takes the time to explain each document without the boring monotone legal jargon many other attorney's use that can be confusing. Ron has also drafted legal contracts for me at a reasonable price to help protect my interests in real estate investments. Unlike most attorney's Ron answers his phone or will call you back in a timely fashion. He's a great asset to have in your corner to discuss the legal situation you're inquiring about and he's quick to point out any potential liabilities that may arise. Ron always looks out for the best interest of his clients. I'd certainly recommend Ron for any real estate attorney needs.

He gives great advice and explains every concern in simple terms. He quickly responds to every concern and is extremely fair with is time and pricing.
He has helped me out more than a few times with business and personal issues.
We had some concerns with our HOA that was dragging on for over a year. He took his time and was able to resolve it on the first visit. I had spoken with other attorneys and they wanted to go to court and charge a lot more.
For my business he has helped with complicated issues such as defending a workers compensation case and as simple as drafting legal documents to use with my clients.
The best part is that he is bilingual.
I recommend Ronald to anyone in need.

I'm in-house counsel for a rapidly-growing private company. I came to Ron to assist us with a matter that is incredibly commercially sensitive and - if not handled properly - could potentially involve our trade secret and proprietary information being disclosed in the public domain.
Ron jumped right in, asking insightful questions from the outset of the engagement that inspired confidence. He continues to earn my faith in him every day, as he quickly tackles these projects as they come up with close attention to detail and deadlines. He understands the sensitivity of the work he does for us, and is a consummate professional. He conducts himself in a respectful manner at all times, including with external parties with whom he often has to interface as it relates to our projects. He does quality work so quickly that I often have trouble keeping up with his output. As inside counsel, this is the best problem I could possibly have. It gives me great piece of mind to have Ron on our team.
Ron is also timely with his billing and he produces clear and concise invoices.

Miss Love handled a very sensitive case for my daughter, and I am very grateful for how delicately she was able to get the case resolved. We felt very confident going in to court and having our daughter testify, even at a young age. She made everyone feel very comfortable in a tough time, and we did get the resolution that we were hoping for. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with difficult or emotional topics. She was very knowledgeable and well prepared and I really felt like she had our backs in there.

I met with Brittany to get a divorce when I wasn't sure what I was going to do because I have several children and didn't want them to get seperated from me. I didn't know how much she was going to cost me because I have heard a lot of attorneys charge a lot of money and she never pressured me to pay anything and told me just to take some time to think about everything that she told me and if it was what I really wanted to do. She was very honest and was very thoughtful and nice and I felt like she really listened to me and wanted to help me even when she said there were some things that she couldn't do or that weren't allowed by the judges. I decided not to seperate right now because of my kids but if I do in the future she is definetely the attorney that I will use. I really liked talking to her and it was very rellieving.

When I contacted Passenant & Shearin Law I was trying to do division of martial property process on my own due to financial issues after a very difficult divorce. It is very difficult to do on your own. I felt awkward about everything I was going through and not realizing how hard it was to do on my own. I contacted the office through email and they immediately respond back to me within 12 hours and started working on the case right away. The ladies did not judge make me feel uncomfortable about my situation and they was very honest about the whole case from beginning to end. They did not make me feel like I was just a client they made me feel like I was part of the team being available anytime of the day or night. They work so well to together as a team and communicated with each other to the point if I contacted the office all the staff could assist me with any question. They kept me informed with all document and contact with the ex attorney.
I felt very secure with their law firm cause they was very knowledgeable about my whole case, being honest and upfront from the beginning gave a sense of comfort. I am very satisfied with all their work, knowledge, with caring attitude and concerns that they all came together as a team and poured into my case. As a person that never thought I would never go through this situation after 23 years of marriage it was a blessing to find and awesome group of ladies that gave their all for the best interest of me.

After a very difficult Visa process, we hired Tanya to help us get my husband to the US. She was so very thorough, I still have the two boxes of "proof" she submitted to USCIS. Finally his second interview came and he was approved after a 5 year ADministrative process. When his citizenship was an option. We reached out and hired her again. It took us less than a year, she made sure he had all of the documents, all of his quesitons answered and made sure he was prepared for the interview. He passed the interview and took the oath, registered to vote the very same day. Just received an email from her to let us know she has closed his file. I should have hired her in the very beginning. However, she did a fantastic job making sure we followed the rules and submitted all of the correct documentation. I'm glad we don't have to do this again but if we did, I would reach out to her immediately and let her to the job she does so well.

I have already referred her to a few of my friends who are experiencing the same trials and tribulations that i had, and i'm positive that they'll be in good hands.

My husband and I had recently married. It was a joyous time for us, but there was a lot of worry that we knew we would have to immediately deal with. I was not in the US legally and being sent back to my country temporary or forever was our biggest fear. We were referred to Vicky and reach out to her. Immediately Vicky met with us and had calmness to her regarding our case. She treated us with the upmost importance and showed us empathy, concern and most of all confidence. Vicky showed great knowledge of the immigration law. She was quick to begin our case and was there for us for every question or concern. She turned a worry some time into a time of joy and anticipation. We had moved out of state after the beginning of our proceedings and Vicky stayed with us throughout never missing a beat. I never had to return to my country while awaiting my interview and now I am here legally. I will never be able to thank Vicky and her office enough.

Jason Power and the SheltonPower law firm have provided my franchise system with honest and reliable legal work for the past several years; they are extremely knowledgeable about the tough federal and state franchise laws. I never really trusted Attorney's but this firm has gone far and above what their agreement was with me. They are honest, reliable and have a great payment plan, which is what allowed me to get in the franchise world. The part I like the most is they care about my business and me as if it was their life’s work! Straightforward talk with no punches pulled and backed with what I believe is real life experience as business people and Attorneys. I highly recommend this very ethical team!

I've worked with Brian for approxiametly 10 years. I owned a real estate brokerage firm at the time and did most of my closings with Brian. I also did real estate flips and worked with investors, banks, the courthouse, etc. Brian has a wealth of real estate knowledge and was easy to contact to get advice, documentation, etc. I've referred Brian to several builders and realtors and they all let me know how much help he was.
In the last couple years I hired Brian to help litigate a lease / purchase conflict that went to trial. Brian provided great support for this case which was eventually dismissed. He could not act as the lead attorney given our relationship, but his research and input greatly helped.
Even though Brian has a Duke education and often litigates for national banks, he is very approachable and easy to talk to. His focus is not on counting the minutes he can charge, or in any way self serving. Brian will listen and will talk through key issues I need to understand.
I highly recommend Brian and his firm. If you want a down to earth, intelligent, creative advocate, then it will be worth your time to talk to him first.
