I ran into a misdemeanor that could've resulted in jail time, received mail from Dummit Fradin requesting representation and ended up hiring Patrick. He and his paralegals fought hard on my behalf throughout several unexpected continuances of my case and the coronavirus pandemic momentarily shutting down NC's judicial system. They were also prompt in responding to any e-mails I sent regarding updates or questions. The end result was my case getting voluntarily dismissed. Couldn't be happier with the outcome and would definitely recommend him if you're looking for a criminal defense attorney.

As I was driving from Greensboro to NC State Veterinary Hospital I received a speeding ticket. As soon as I got home I reached out to Dummit Fradin they responded by email that evening and called next am. My lawyer Mr Apple and his paralegal Oscar Cerna responded quickly to all my questions and kept me updated on my case. I did not have to appear in court and no points were added to my record.

We would like to have the pleasure to thank Neelam Bhardwaj Immigration Attorney for helping my husband and I during our processes of the Green Card. Ms. Bhardwaj and Kelli were very nice, welcoming, patient, professional, and understanding since the first day we’ve been to the office. Before we made the choice we made visits to other different law offices and we didn’t feel comfortable until we found their office. They know exactly what they’re doing. Ms. Bhardwaj has excellent reviews on the internet and she’s also well-known at the USCIS office, the officer who interviewed us knew their office. Ms. Bhardwaj helped us file initially for my husband’s green card. When it came time to file the removal of conditions and get my husband his permanent green card, we had Ms. Bhardwaj continue the process. We are lucky as we didn’t have to attend an interview; my husband just received his 10 year green card. We really recommend Neelam Bhardwaj Immigration Attorney for the outstanding service.

I have hired Ms. Bhardwaj law firm to help with various aspects of our immigration filings. In one situation my father’s case (several family based petitions) was a mess until I hired her office – as immigration had lost his file, his response and then denied his petitions that had been pending almost ten years. After reviewing carefully Neelam filed a motion to re-open and contacted the immigration office for follow up, and with strong arguments she achieved the desired results by getting all our petitions approved in six months. My entire family has received their immigrant visas and are now here. Neelam and her staff made this possible for us, our family is reunited after 22 years and we are so thankful to Neelam and her assistant, Kelli. What a wonderful team! I am very confident that Neelam and her team have capabilities to achieve the toughest goals within a reasonable time frame. Her excellent professionalism, punctuality and polite customer service is an added value to her clients. Her honesty and proper advice can be very helpful for complex cases, I highly recommend Ms. Bhardwaj for your immigration issues; you will never go wrong.

I decided to hire Ms. Bhardwaj in 2012 to help with my immigration status. Right after the first meeting she impressed me and my wife her welcoming character, professional knowledge, and experience. After carefully looking at my current situation, she filed all the paperwork in January and in a record time in April, my immigration status was fixed. This could not have been done without the help from Ms. Bhardwaj. Also, my special appreciation goes to Ms. Kelli Campbell for her professionalism and patience and for always helping with our matters. One thing I would like to point out is that Ms. Bhardwaj and her team treats her clients like a family. Words cannot describe how thankful I am that I had the chance to work Ms. Bhardwaj and her team and I would strongly recommend her to anyone regardless of what state that may be, because they have the ability to turn the immigration process from a complete nightmare to an enjoyable journey.

I recently retained Charles Lloyd to represent me in my complex, double-felony sex-offender registration violation case. Both Charlie Lloyd and his partner at LLOYD & NASH, Michael Nash, met with me multiple times to understand the urgencies and sensitivities of my case and hear my concerns. They researched case law and worked behind the scenes with court officials, and within 48 hours, we had all options and concerns on the table. In fact, Charlie and Michael were able to persist even after two other legal firms were unable to handle this sensitive case that was destined to send me to prison for 5 years. Even though it was exceedingly difficult to face what I considered unscrupulous authorities and changing procedures for these publicly-abhorrent charges, I was well advised to plead. In fact, as a result, Charlie and Michael were able to reduce my legal exposure to a probationary period. Indeed, exceptional communication, great persistence and strong personal connections resulted in an outcome beyond all expectations, especially given the difficulties of navigating court proceedings with these publicly abhorrent charges. Lloyd and Nash are likely not the cheapest legal representation in town, but because of their capabilities and experience, I would always trust them to handle my freedom and well being. They clearly care for clients and they are highly capable, professional and personable. They had a keen ability to cut through the legal and procedural bullshit to strategically develop a range of practical options and work closely with the court to reach a fair and just conclusion. If you’re faced with difficult circumstances in a sex-offender or another criminal case, I would highly recommend having Charlie Lloyd defend your freedom.

I have been a client of Mr. Lloyd since the passing of Kenneth Carrington from whom Mr. Lloyd expanded his client base upon taking over Mr. Carrington's practice. I was fortunate enough to count myself among them. As a troubled teen and into my 20s - 30s between Mr. Carrington and Mr. Lloyd I on occasion required their services. I must say that I have never been disappointed and have always without fail received top notch legal representation and most often a better than expected outcome. I couldn't complain if I tried, because there simply isn't anything that I can see that could've been done better to insure the best possible outcome with respect to my needs and just the all around ease with witch things are handled by Mr. Lloyd and his more than capable staff. If you need legal representation in this field of legal practice then just do yourself a favor and save some time and grief and money and give Mr. Lloyd a call. In 30 yrs I have never been disappointed and I'm more often amazed at the results than anything. Mr. Lloyd is the best! Hands down.... I didn't say he's the rest. I said he's the best. Don't go in expecting a pat on the back and a sugar coated smile as he takes your fee and says what he "might" be able to do. No Mr. Lloyd cares and it shows when he speaks to you about lessons needed to be learned and he's not afraid to tell you where you messed up or need improvement. I wouldn't have it any other way, because at the end of the day I've had first hand experience with Mr. Lloyd's services in comparison with the competition and the fact is that there is no comparison. They are the rest. Mr. Lloyd is the best!!!! To Mr. Lloyd I would like to express my sincerest and humblest gratitude for once again delivering the same level of service on my last and recent case with an even better than expected outcome with the same ease of handling the issue I'm accustomed to. Thank Again! Erik

As for Jim, he was straight forward and honest. He was to the point and realistic. And we prevailed in my case! Over the years, I have used him again, recommended him to friends and family, and currently he is our lawyer in a civil case. Everyone that Ive referred him too has had nothing but good things to say about him.

Karen helped me successful win a disability case that was difficult to find counsel with. Despite medical records, Insurers considered my case a "gray area" and quickly denied all attempts I made to collect benefits. Karen was successful in appealing in adjudication hearing and obtaining "fully favorable" decision. I'm very grateful. Michael

I hired Wendy for my child custody case. She really cared about my kid. When they were breaking down, she supported us and talked us through everything. It's so obvious she cares about her clients and their family. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a family attorney.

I hired Wendy when I was having difficulties with my ex and child support. I was being made to pay more than I could afford for longer than I should. No attorney I hired previously was able to help, but Wendy could. She went to bat for me. I will always appreciate her.

Attorney Vick represented me at my Social Security Disability hearing on October 16, 2018 and I feel very fortunate to have been his client. He was extremely professional and very well prepared. I found Attorney Vick's knowledge and expertise to be invaluable. I am incredibly grateful to Lauren Vick for all of her kindness, support and hard work throughout the entire process. I owe my "Fully Favorable Decision" to both, Lauren and Attorney Vick. THANK YOU!!

I highly recommend Richard T. Granowsky. It was a bewildering experience to find myself in need of an employment attorney. I was in shock, scared, unsure of my options and at a loss as to what to do when I met Richard. I found him to be very personable and genuinely interested in helping me. He is knowledgeable and available, returning calls and emails quickly. He presented me with options and guided my decision making to a very favorable outcome. I was struck by his sincere concern for me and my situation. I have since recommended Richard to a friend who also had a favorable outcome. I give Richard T. Granowsky my highest recommendation without any reservation. Nancy

Richard has represented me in more than one area ( an employment contract and a civil lawsuit ). I have found his advice spot on, his attitude excellent, and his response & turn around time 'best in class'. We thought through tactics and responses together - he explains his POV's well and translates legal syntax in the terms of the case.
