This law firm is inhumane, heartless and deplorable. I called them a week and a half ago. The answering service says they will call back in 48 hours. No one responded. I called back to see if I could get 3 more days until I was paid to clear a balance because I HAD TO HELP BURY MY GRANDDAUGHTER and it took all of my money previous to this date ($5000 contribution ). I had mailed them payments which they did receive. I was told no. I could have provided proof if asked. Death comes to all of us at some point or another; I guess they are exempt. I feel my reason was valid for a little grace; I only asked for 3 days. Non the less I hope they never experience the loss I did.
I will add that just within an hour of my first phone call the above post I received a phone call from the firm. I spoke with a young lady name C.J. She went over my account with me. She was professional, and very empathetic. In summary positive results!! Thank you so much for representing the firm in a more positive light. C.J definitely earned them 5 stars.

The attorney Emily at this firm advised that she would be able to take my traffic case for the appointed date. She was going to charge me $300 and required to me to obtain my own driving record since I was out of state driver. They required all this information and then 7days before advised she could not be there to represent me. Terrible communication from her office and highly unprofessional. Do not recommend. Administrative staff appears to lack competence as well.

This attorney (Amy Klass), handled a family law estate case in an unethical manner. Upon my father's death, she seemed more concerned with charitable contributions than she did about competently explaining and executing the aspects of the will. She also had names of organizations that she suggested my family donate to, instead of trusting us to make these decisions. It seemed as if she had a hidden agenda regarding these particular organizations. When my mother changed the power-of-attorney from myself (her only child and daughter), to a distant family friend, Ms. Klass did not bother to notify me via mail or by telephone. I did not discover that I was no longer the power-of-attorney until my mother had been admitted to the hospital and the distant friend made the decision as to where to place my mother in a nursing facility without my input, after my mother was discharged from the hospital. I was not even notified that my mother had been admitted to the hospital until another friend of hers eventually called me. At the time, I lived out of town. Upon consultation with another attorney in North Carolina as to Ms. Klass' actions and decisions, I was informed by this attorney that Ms.Klass demonstrated unethical behavior by not notifiying me, either by mail or otherwise, that I had been removed as power-of-attorney for my mother. Additionally, my mother was extremely vulnerable and compromised in many aspects at the time these changes were made. Several friends of my mother approached me with questions abouit the person who was appointed power-of-attorney due to concerns that she may take advantage of my mother. Ms. Klass was an attorney as part of a firm that my father hired to execute his will and settle his estate fairly and within the law, in the event of his death. Ms. Klass counseled my mother in a questionable manner, according to concerned friends of my mother, as well as my tremendous concerns of the decisions made regarding the nature of counsel that Ms. Klass provided to my mother.

I had the pleasure of hiring a very professional attorney in Mr Steve Arrington that was recommended to us by another law firm.
Mr Arrington from day one was on top of our very important emergency guardianship. He responded immediately to all our concerns, emails, and phone calls. He is professional, diligent, trustworthy and he explained to us thoroughly every step of the process.
Without a doubt I would hire Mr. Arrington again and I highly recommend him to help you in your family matters. I can't thank Mr. Arrington and his staff enough for helping us through this guardianship.

Mr. Arrington prepared my Will and Advance Directives. Working with him was a great experience. He is professional, diligent, and trustworthy. Mr. Arrington approaches his work with kindness and compassion. I found him to be very understanding and easy to talk to. I was extremely pleased with Mr. Arrington as my attorney and I would (and have) recommended him without hesitation to others seeking legal assistance.

I hired Margret in 2013 to represent me in a child custody matter. She failed to win custody, as a matter of fact, she did not even try. Then she put off the child support matter for three years to give my ex enough time to find a job, meanwhile my son slept on her moms floor. I am sure I could have done better myself without giving her so much money

Margaret Dudley is extremely knowledgeable and fair. She has been practicing family law in Greensboro for many years, and was able to help me settle the dissolution of my marriage quickly and easily. She was able to negotiate a fair child support agreement and custody arrangements between my ex husband and myself. Our case went smoothly and both of us were satisfied with the outcome.

If you need a family law attorney run the other way. He came to court unprepared and late. He was late for our case because he was dealing with another case at the same time and day. We had to get most of the paper work for our case and he is just rude and disrespectful to his client. He threaten several times to walk out and let the judge know he was recusing himself. Needless to say he lost the case. All after he had received his money. This man shouldn’t be able to practice law the way he treats his clients.

I was recently served with a child support order from my ex wife as I am in another state ,it took alot of research to find a good attorney and once I connected with Robert he broke everything down by the book and represent me as I'm going through hard times and health issues ,he stood up for me and appeared in court to help me get a fair case and was able to extend while helping me gather up all my important documents for a fair case I would highly recommend him in any future cases as he put in the work and keep his word ,sometimes he's a little busy however what do u expect from a great attorney I am currently hiring him to help fight for me in a upcoming situation.

I paid him 1500 to take my case back in March. It is now June and I have a month to settle this case before it cant be heared again. I am innocent of my charges and he wants to play with my case. I am on probation for a crime I didnt do. I am actually innocent. I have emailed him and called him many times. Its funny how he wanted my case he was available then but once I hired him he is nowhere to be found.

Needed a divorce by publication, after tireless efforts to locate my ex. When I first met Attorney Weckworth, he took time out of his schedule to explain what the process entailed, prior knowing if I would hire him.
Upon doing so, he kept me updated on the status of all matters of the divorce all the way til the court date. If you are looking for proper representation, look no further, this attorney offers a sincere concern for the well being of his client, accompanied with hard work, and desired results,
Thanks so much Robert!

I’m a nursing student & I called clerk of court to see if I could get my court date changed because I can’t miss class. She instructed me to call the DA office & speak to an assistant DA to explain the situation & see what could be done. The lady that answered the phone was EXTREMELY rude. Nonchalant attitude, refused to transfer me, talked over me, raised her voice, laughed at my concerns, took long pauses like she wasn’t listening or talking to someone else. She proceeded to tell me “I hear what you’re saying but show up to court or get arrested. I don’t give legal advice.” When I never asked her for legal advice. I done what I was instructed to do by the clerk of court. My issue wasn’t resolved due to her hanging up on me after telling me if I didn’t show up a warrant for my arrest would be issued. I’m not a criminal, never been arrested, never been to jail, I’m just a student that didn’t want to miss class & there were no accommodations whatsoever. Having a nasty attitude while working in customer service/answer phones for a living never works out well.

Do not initiate any business with this woman.
She did get my divorce completed, albiet, very, very overpriced.
I was accosted by her in the courthouse recently when trying to obtain a copy of my divorce decree.
She overheard me giving them the necessary information to get my records and she very aggressively approached me.
First, she very unprofessionally yelled at me across the room in front of many people asking what my name is and I tried to ignore her. I did not know at first who she was. She was very persistent and wouldn't leave me alone.
She said she is Bonnie Rossi and I told her she was my attorney and handled my divorce. She said she needed me before even asking my name so that was extremely confusing.
She came up to me and almost grabbed me and I had to stop her by stepping back and she asked me again what my name is. I told her I would be happy to tell her after I was done with my business.
She startled my Dad as the way she approached me, he thought I had done something to hurt her.
She waited the entire time. I was unable to talk to her and she said she needed me. She said she would call me and never did so I still don't know what is going on. All she told me is she had something going on that she needed me, but that was before my name was revealed.
After leaving the courthouse I made a statement to my Dad that she is in the wrong field if she thinks her name would never be mentioned in a courthouse.
The way she aggressively approached me, caused me to go home and cry for hours as I now suffer from extreme recent trauma and cognitive issues as I tried to explain to her at the courthouse.
AVOID HER SERVICES AT ALL COSTS!!!
This experience was not worth what I just went through....

Have you ever felt like your back was against the wall? Stuck between a rock and a hard place? Look no further than to Bonnie E. Rossi! She was a lifesaver, and the life she saved was my daughter's. I discovered serious problems at my daughter's father's home that included neglect and various types of abuse toward her. I knew I needed professional help to get my daughter out of there quickly and away from all the negativity going on. I have almost no experience or knowledge about lawyers and the laws in general concerning custody of children, so I had many questions and was nervous. Between Bonnie and her paralegal Danielle, our fears were immediately put to rest. They were thoughtful, caring, and always quick to respond to my questions . They treated me and my husband with respect and dignity and basically gave my teen daughter a voice. They always validated our concerns and made us feel like we mattered. Straight to the point in general and easy to talk to. She knew what to do and how to do it quickly with minimal stress on everyone, especially my daughter. She even spoke with my daughter one-on-one and explained things in ways she would understand. We knew we had chosen the right attorney when we were given custody of my little girl and within a reasonable amount of time no less! We'd recommend Bonnie to anyone needing an aggressive attorney who cares and gets the job DONE!

Very unprofessional , looks like she bought her degree,
she was not ready for the mediation , she never put my ex into the child support system. it took over a year to finish my divorce, they only answer your calls when is time to pay money but when you need answers they never return your call sometimes more than 3 months, and that lady Lynn it was so hard to work with her, you can't trust her she was just ling to me ,she told me 'I'm about to send the divorce papers' and then six weeks later after many times calling her, she never served him. Good luck if you pick this lawyer. I wish I should have looked at her reviews before I wasted my money.

Got a speeding ticket and paid $500 for him to represent me. My court date was set to november and I have still not heard any update (now january 23rd). I have even reached out on several occasions but get no response. On top of it all I had to complete 32 hours of community service as a first time offender AND $500 not even including court costs. He clearly has no intentions of helping you out and just complies with whatever the court says. I’ll be contacting in the morning to figure out what the hold up is, but I highly recommend GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE

As a realtor I have recommended John Overfield and his staff and used them for my personal legal needs for over 20 years. I have never experienced anything but the best quality of service and attention to detail. John Overfield and his staff alway can be counted on to provide the most professional experience for any client and myself and my family. I cannot recommend this practice enough!

John and his team have a can do attitude that is very important in Real Estate. John can discuss the issues on a 1st time home buyer level as well as teach a class to other attorneys on the specific legal changes of our time. The work is flawless, I cant count how many closings we have done with John and his team... and I'm a numbers guy! As a lender in a fast paced real estate environment, it is important to have a great working relationship with an attorney - we have that with John, and are blessed to continue the relationship.
John has also been able to help my family with our wills and estate planning - this was handled efficiently and thoroughly with great care and expertise. It's never easy to discuss these types of things, but John was able to break it down in ways that was easy for my wife and I to set our family up if something tragic were to happen.
In a nutshell, there are certain things in life that you can pretty much go anywhere, or use anyone.... this is not one of them - I highly recommend John and his team to anyone who needs help with Real Estate, Estate Planning, or Business Law... he's helped me with all 3!

I consulted with Mr.Pearman for the closing of a house and decided to go elsewhere. I was quoted several different fees for closing, a much longer process and the practice seemed old school. I was able to find a different attorney to close within 30 days for a 1/4 of the cost.

Kind of odd to say about an injury attorney but he doesn't like to go to court. My niece was injured in an automobile accident and Mr. Bowden told us not to pursue litigation but to settle with the insurance company. They offered $6500 but her hospital bills alone were over $13,000 plus the damage to he car. Mr Bowden was going to take 45% for his fee so she was nowhere close to being made "whole" for someone else's actions. We took her case to an another attorney who threatened litigation with the insurance company and ended up with a settlement of $37,500. Never ever do business with Joel Bowden as he will not put in much of an effort for you.

My doctor recommended I call Mr. Bowden and he traveled from Greensboro to meet with me and I liked him right away. Mr. Bowden was so compassionate and he takes the time to explain the whole process in terms that are easily understood. His entire office was very attentive and polite, I distinctively remember speaking with attorney Sean and Teresa and they both made my process go smoothly too. I’m so pleased with my decision to hire Mr. Bowden and his team.

I gave him one star and that's stretching it. This loser most have received his license from a correspondence course. Just like others have mentioned he had nothing else to do with me after he got his money. That's the way most Crackhead lawyers are. I wish I would have done my research on this guy. He showed up an hour late for court and then starts asking the witness questions in front of the judge, pissing her off, She threw the book at me because of this A-hole. Then he didn't handle my paperwork properly afterwards and I cannot get a job because of it still two years later. I called his overpriced office ten times with no response.

I have read all three of these reviews and am astonished. I have never in my life met such a caring, understanding, patient and kind person. He was court appointed for my husband in Guilford County, had pending charges in Ashe County. I hired him to get a bond hearing for my husband in Ashe County. When I say Ashe County is dirty and underhanded that's a compliment compared to what I'd like to say. They were so low down they tried to sneak a first appearance in knowing that Mr. Cummings was out of town on his honeymoon. I spoke with him by phone to let him know that they had transferred him to Ashe. His exact words were "Not on my watch" I will never forget it. I had no idea he was on his honeymoon, I only knew he was out of town. He appeared in Ashe County the following morning with his lovely bride. My husband said he could not believe his eyes when he was brought into the courtroom and there stood Mr. Cummings and his new wife. Let me tell you he handed them a beat down, even other attorneys were in awe of him. It was so spectacular that another attorney who wasn't in the courtroom that day said I'm not as good as the guy you had, I heard about him. He is now a legend there. The man owned that courtroom, I wish I could have afforded to have him represent him up there for those charges because let me tell you they wanted no part of Mark Cummings again and they were afraid they would have to face him. I know I likely drove him crazy I emailed him so many times and called him so much, and it got to the point that he was like a family member to me. Not only did he defend my husband but he kept me from loosing my mind. I cannot convey how much I appreciate every thing he did. Who would have even thought an attorney would leave his honeymoon, because a DA was trying to pull a fast one? How committed and compassionate could you ever ask for? I think of him often and wonder if he knows how very grateful we are. Thank you are only two words and I could never say them enough, he is absolutely amazing. I would not think twice at putting my life, or the life of my family in his hands.

After the money rolled in M. Cummings basically stopped responding. He lost crucial piece of evidence, showed up for court on wrong date and mailed documents to wrong address on numerous occasions.

This law firm is playing the long game to steal property from the rightful hier(s) of the deceased . If anyone at this firm says to you or a family member"there is a Medicaid lien on your property so you can't sale it" go to your local clerk of courts probate office, pull the case file of the deceased and look for a letter from the state that says there is a Medicaid lien on the property to verify that this is true. Because it ain't!!! The NC Bar AND the State Attorney Generals Office have been alerted to your treachery.

He should probably find someone else. I am too busy.” She AGREED to represent him. She said she would contact him. If I had not contacted her the second time, I doubt he would have heard from her at all. Very disappointing and unprofessional. But based on the other reviews, I guess I should not have been surprised.

Amy Williams is an awful attorney. She never returned phone calls. It takes her weeks to return text. She isn't prepared with accurate information for court. She misleads her clients. I would have been better off representing myself. I asked her to visit me several times while I was incarcerated in Guilford County before my court date to discuss my case...she never came. She didn't keep me informed about my case. Very disappointed with her representation

I’m a nursing student & I called clerk of court to see if I could get my court date changed because I can’t miss class. She instructed me to call the DA office & speak to an assistant DA to explain the situation & see what could be done. The lady that answered the phone was EXTREMELY rude. Nonchalant attitude, refused to transfer me, talked over me, raised her voice, laughed at my concerns, took long pauses like she wasn’t listening or talking to someone else. She proceeded to tell me “I hear what you’re saying but show up to court or get arrested. I don’t give legal advice.” When I never asked her for legal advice. I done what I was instructed to do by the clerk of court. My issue wasn’t resolved due to her hanging up on me after telling me if I didn’t show up a warrant for my arrest would be issued. I’m not a criminal, never been arrested, never been to jail, I’m just a student that didn’t want to miss class & there were no accommodations whatsoever. Having a nasty attitude while working in customer service/answer phones for a living never works out well.

If you care about the outcome of your case, don’t hire this guy. He has no concern for his clients or their cases and disappears for long periods of time with no warning, no communication, and he apparently has no qualms with blatantly lying before a judge about whether or not you, as his client, have contacted him. He will not respond to emails, texts, or voicemails and fails to familiarize himself with his clients’ cases. His lack of professionalism makes me wonder why he’s even practicing law, and he should be held accountable for the delays and problems he causes his clients to face with their court cases.

I had the worst experience with Mr.Kevin Dowling, he does not care about his clients. If you do not call him you WON'T HEAR FROM HIM AT ALL!!! Every time I meant with Mr. Dowling I had to retell my case over to him each time I meant with him. He truly acts as if he could care less about his clients and what they have going on, my case is very important to me, I mean this is my life. PLEASE DO NOT EVER USE THIS ATTORNEY HE WILL NOT PUT YOU FIRST AS HIS CLIENT!!
