Jay White is an increadible attorney with 30 plus years of experience, which is one of the traits to a great attorney. I initially went with a popular online law firm that specializes in tickets… and they were too green in handling a case like mine. The benefits of using an attorney like Mr. White is his years of experience, and he personally looks at your case and takes an approach based off that case and not out to make a quick buck and put it on the pipeline. Jay White proved his swift and efficient representation, which is what you expect from a high caliber attorney. He has a very efficient, honest, and transparent team that comes along with his representation. I do not live in NC but that wasn’t a problem, he took care of everything and I am incredibly satisfied with the outcome of my case. Consider Jay White for your next representation you are in good hands.

Chris is hands down the best attorney I could have ever chose to handle my case. This was a first offense dui level 1 for me so being scared was an understatement. He assured me several times to breathe he would handle this. Everything Chris did for me was top notch and always reminded me he will take care of me. Standing beside him in-front of a judge I felt safe and secure. Needless to say he’s 1 of a kind and I can’t put into words what he did for me and my family. My dui went from a level 1 to a level 5. All because of a mistake my life wasn’t ruined, we worked together and I did as he said and sure enough he saved me, my family, my life. Thank you Chris and your whole staff I couldn’t recommend you more. Not only did he keep me from jail time; he also saved me from losing license. If you don’t hire him it’s your own mistake. He’s hands down the best in the business

I and my wife recently worked with Mrs. Casandra Strunk in the preparation of our wills and other legal documents. She is extremely thorough and competent and will ensure her clients fully understand the documents they are signing. She is very sweet and easy to work with. Her paralegal and other office workers are also very professional and courteous. I highly recommend Cassandra Strunk for your legal needs.

Sean did an amazing job handling my motorcycle incident. I didn't have to do hardly anything and he handled all communication and negotiation with the insurances companies. It allowed me a peace of mind to focus on recovery from injuries and the final outcome was more than satisfactory!

We had a pressing legal issue and sought out Sean Clayton, who was recommended by a friend in Durham. Sean was professional, knowledgeable, and personable. An all-around nice guy.

We chose Mr. Sorrell to assist my mother in law with her will. He was very thorough, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. He made the experience for her very comfortable. He answered her questions and our questions with patience and her best interest was at the fore front. Reasonably priced. Very pleased with our experience with Mr. Sorrell.

My husband and I wanted a nontraditional home ownership and looked for an attorney to help us. While the first attorney we talked to seemed to think this was complicated and hard to accomplish, Mr. Sorrell gave us several options and helped us sort through them to arrive at a good solution for our problem. In addition, he evaluated our out of state documents and helped us feel confident that we were compliant with North Carolina laws. We finished the estate planning feeling comfortable with the process and results. We highly recommend him!

Mr. Sorrell was so great to work with. My husband and I are planning for our future and were deciding between a will and a trust. He explained both to us and helped us make our decision. We never felt pressured into choosing anything we didn't want. He explained everything clearly and answered all of the questions we had. He is also an excellent resource to guide you along the way if for any questions after you have set up your will/trust. He was very professional and we will definitely use him for any future needs. I fully recommend to anyone!

Jazmin negotiated a commercial real estate deal for us. From the first draft to the last, she got it done and we are now proud commercial property owners. When your future is on the line, you want your lawyer to show confidence, she was; you want your lawyer to show competence, she did; but most of all, you want a lawyer who GENUINELY CARES about your needs and purposes in life, that's why you should use Jazmin. This is what motivates her to be so good at what she does - you. We love working with her and surely will again!

Attorney Caldwell was thoughtful and knowledgeable in her approach to all my issues of estate planning. There were no surprise fees. All charges were discussed up front. During our session she was very kind and hospitable; she made me feel like family. She has handled everything to the point where I have nothing to worry about. I’m so thankful that I can rest easy at night and have peace of mind knowing that my family will be taken care of. The process of collecting information was extremely well organized and efficient. The estate planning portfolio she provided was comprehensive and very easy to understand. I appreciate the thoroughness, patience and professionalism of Attorney Caldwell.

George Wiseman is an excellent, kind, and caring attorney that will go above and beyond for you.

Mr. Wiseman did a wonderful job for me. Even when the DA tried to read off my crimes of 2014 such as eluding police and they took my car away a 2012 Camaro; I was able to get it back. He also just recently kempt me from losing my driver's license after getting caught while driving while license suspended. I am truly grateful for how he handled my case. They DA tried to bring up my 2014 charges but was quickly shot down by the Judge.

I hired Rose to help with my divorce because I didn't know anything about the process outside of the basic state requirements. She made the entire process as painless as possible and kept in communication with me every step of the way. She even made sure to ask about how my pregnancy and baby preparations were going. I strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking for legal help, not just for her amazing professional demeanor but also for her interpersonal skills.

I used Rose Staples Deese to draft my will. She was thorough, and took the time to explain the process to me so that I could decide what language best fit my needs. She made the process easier than I ever thought it could be to have a will created. I'd recommend her to anyone needing an attorney.

Courtney was my lawyer and she was extremely professional, very attentive, treated my like I was family, and took care of my case with excellent results. Courtney was on top of everything, kept in contact with me and checked on me throughout my entire case. Courtney had my best interest at heart, which was very comforting (as nobody likes to deal with legal issues.) I would DEFINTELY recommend Courtney Neal to any and all of my family and friends. Top notch service!!! Thanks again Ms. Neal for all your help.

After firing my last attorney Mr. Weinshenker was next up on the court appointed list. I couldn't have been more lucky. Right away I could tell the difference between the two lawyers. He emailed me a couple times a day. He also was very blunt and let me know the reality of the situation. He's my new go-to lawyer. My case isn't over with but I just want everyone know who is looking for a lawyer, this guy is awesome!

Seth is the best attorney I have had through the course of my divorce and custody cases. From the first time I met him, he was professional, took detailed notes, asked pertinent questions and was highly available. He got my custody case into court quickly and was always more than blunt about the reality of the possible outcomes. He is down to earth, personable, and down to business. And he has a LOT of experience in his field. In one case he actually spent enough time researching law to figure out that the opposing attorney had filed completely improper paperwork against me and the suit against me was dismissed. He is very thorough. I can't say enough nice things about his professionalism. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. He was able to accomplish for me what two prior attorneys in Cabarrus county failed at miserably.

Mr. Rogers has been our attorney through my husbands divorce and subsequent custody cases. His moral compass never strays. He always gives the true and correct advice.
We have been to court every year revisiting custody and Mr. Rogers has not lost for us once.
He has an outstanding record and holds the respect of judges and his peers. You won’t find a better attorney in the area. We’re just glad he’s on our team.

When we purchased our first home, Ryan Hawkins at Ferguson, Scarbrough, Hayes, Hawkins & DeMay PLLC handled our closing. Being new to the process, Mr. Hawkins walked us through every step of the closing to make sure we understood and were comfortable with all of the details. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and always available when we had a question. We would definitely recommend this attorney and firm for real estate.

Kristin was incredibly thorough with all information and documentation for my separation. She made sure that I understood everything that I was agreeing to, and made sure that she had all the necessary facts. She also helped me keep perspective while going through such an emotional event. There were times that my emotions made me want to ask for things out of spite from my ex-husband, and she was always very calm and clear about what was fair, realistic, and financially worth fighting for, without letting my husband or his attorney take advantage of me. I can honestly say she made the entire experience as pleasant as it could possibly be - some days I think she made as great a therapist as an attorney! I trust her implicitly, and I know that at all times she was looking out for my best interests, not just hers. Of course, results also speak volumes about an attorney's abilities and I can say that at the end of the proceedings I left my marriage with full ownership of the house, all savings accounts, retirement accounts, a paid-off car, and our dogs. In the end, I felt that the final agreement was more than fair in my favor, and that is due entirely to Kristin. I feel that I was very well represented and I don't think I could have had a more pleasant experience or a more beneficial outcome from anyone else.

5 Stars for Alaina!!!!
I want to recognize a TOP NOTCH Paralegal, Alaina!!!
I don't think I can type enough words to explain my gratitude towards Alaina, but I will do the best that I can!
She made me feel that she ALWAYS had a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, and kept me up to date on my case.
ALL accident representatives should be taught by Alaina, (no matter how small the monetary value results would/will be) to treat the clients like they are the only one that matters, and are given the respect that they truly deserve!!
Alaina, it was an absolute pleasure to work with you!!!
I want to wish you all of the best!!!
Thank you again!!!!

When we first came to Kristen's office for professional advice concerning our financial situation, we were a little nervous and did not know what to expect. We were being sued by a credit card company and didn't know what to do about it. We provided Kristen with all of the information she requested concerning our financial hardships, and without hesitation and with full assurance, she had an answer and a plan of action for us to take. She was so knowledgeable and confident about the plan she recommended for us, therefore our anxieties were eased, and we too became certain that everything was going to work together for our good, and we were right. Initially, there was a plan and effort to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but we learned of some information that negatively effected the Chapter 7 and made a Chapter 13 more appropriate for us. This meant that Kristen had to make adjustments and invest more time in our case, and this is where she proved to be so resilient and committed to our best interest. Her communication was always prompt and thorough throughout the whole process. As the Chapter 13 moved forward, there was a lot of resistance from one of the creditors; they filed numerous objections against our filing of the Chapter 13, including where we filed it. Once again, we became a little nervous, but Kristen always spoke with such confidence and poise about overcoming this adversity, and she assured us that everything was going to work in our favor. Kristen's legal response to the objections was so knowledgeable and complete; it was amazing. We could tell she put a lot of time and effort into fighting for us and upholding the truth, of which we are so grateful. Kristen won for us over and over again. She made my first time ever appearing in court pleasant and something I could appreciate as she demonstrated great professionalism and savvy. I can't say enough about Kristen's hard work and commitment to us! We are and always will be so grateful, and we can truly say we are better now than we were when we first visited her office. Thank you so much, Kristen, for all you have done for us, and God bless you always.

Jennifer has never given the impression of a stone cold Attorney. While she means business in the courtroom and works diligently behind the scenes, she brings her heart into her work. She Responds within a timely manner and makes herself available to address questions & concerns. She has fought long & hard for my family & there's no one else I would have. She has proven herself over and over. It is not often you might consider an attorney to be a trustworthy person (no jab intended), but I have felt my family was in the best of hands & I do trust her to have our best interest at heart. I feel confident with her at my side and know that you will too. If you're looking for someone to understand your case, to care about justice, & to get the job done, she is for you! You won't be disappointed.

Worse attorney in concord! I had consulted three other attorneys in the area who had known about Ms.Robertsons work ethics and had even said that she was friends with opposing counsels attorney! Which now explains the mess that has to be cleaned up by my current attorney who has recommended I file a complaint to state bar. She had failed multiple times to respond and or clearly explain what the status of my case was. She kept saying my case was moving at an appropriate rate. Well I had a child support hearing which Ms.Robertson had mentioned I did not have to be present for because of my work schedule. Well the day of the hearing she had taken it upon herself to not update me as to what the outcome was. No phone call, no email, no letter, NOTHING! Two weeks later Ms.Robertson had finally decided to respond to my emails and said what my child support payment was plus $1,100 of backed child support that she had failed to mention when I (the plaintiff) had filed the lawsuit initially which was a year ago. She was extremely unprofessional in her emails and few times I would attempt to discuss the matter with her over the phone. Eventually I had to fire her and hire a new attorney because opposing counsel had informed me multiple times that Ms.Robertson and opposing counsels attorney would discuss issues that were only meant for Ms.Robertson and myself. If you are a dad please look else where for an attorney. This attorney talks a good game but is a poor representive for single fathers who want to protect their children.

I hired Mrs. Jennifer Robertson for Child Custody & Support.
Mrs. Roberston is very Professional, Personable, Straight Forward, and Gets Results. I had the notion that the Father always gets the Blunt End of the Deal. Mrs. Robertson proved that theory wrong with my case.
I will Recommend Mrs. Jennifer Rutherford Roberston to all my friends and family, as well as obtain her for any future issues that arise in her Field of Services.

Mrs. Baker & her team of paralegals deserve 10/5 stars! I thought when I received a DWI charge my career and opportunity were over, I knew I’d lose my job, lose my house, & everything if I got convicted. I needed the best and boy did I ever find the best with Mrs Baker. My case was lengthy and very stressful, Mrs. Baker and her team of paralegals reassured me each time that they would fight and give it everything that they had! From the courtroom to consultations, phone calls, & life events Mrs Baker did nothing short than fight until the bitter end! In the end They Did It! There is no other representation I’d rather have behind me and fighting for me!
