Meredith Parker and David Holm are by far the most compassionate and understanding lawyers they did not pre judge me on on what others said they got to know me for them selves they have worked countless hours and late nights to accommodate my busy work schedule and went over every detail of my case with me I am not highly educated so they took the time to break things down to me so I would understand fully what was going on any time I ask many ways and they help me along if you are looking for a firm that will have your back they will at every turn never seen a firm that works harder than me so I thank you David and Meredith from the bottom of my heart and to my soul it brings tears of joy to my eyes what you have done for my family every one was happy both sides

David Holm represented me two years ago during my divorce, his services were outstanding. He and his team were professional, exacting, prompt, and, at the same time, very approachable and made themselves available to answer questions or provide news on progress during this process. Dave was very clear in describing how the process would play out, from the custody arrangement to the equitable distribution to the eventual signing and filing of the divorce papers, and very astute in outlining a strategy that would best insure a positive outcome for both me and my daughter.
His advice and counsel was intelligent, reasonable, insightful, and honest. I have no doubt that, on more than one occasion, Dave provided advice that proved to be vital, advice that kept the eventual outcome on the right track and in my favor.
I would strongly recommend Dave Holm and his team to anyone who finds themselves in the unfortunate position I was in two years ago. Due to a lot of hard work on my part, I am in a much better place now than I was then, but I have no doubt that I owe a great deal of that to Dave Holm.

I would first like to genuinely and sincerely thank Mrs. Smith and Mr. Miller for their diligence, professionalism, concern and dedication to my case.
Though I have conveyed this both directly and in private, I would like to openly/publicly thank you both from the bottom of my heart for all that you have done for me, my children and my family.
While ultimately you were doing that for which you were paid, you did an exceptional job and one that should serve as an example to other firms. Words simply cannot convey the value of the outcome of my case to me, one which was directly affected by you both!!
There are certainly great lawyers, good ones, bad ones and terrible ones. Sometimes you get what you pay for, sometimes you don’t. But you can’t buy a Ferrari for the price of a Ford, you might get a Mustang but it simply isn’t the same thing. Though that doesn’t mean you can’t go fast, it just means you don’t drive a Ferrari. Don’t spend more than you need to if you don’t need to go that fast. Legal matter are ultimately decided upon by a referee, also known as a Judge. An attorney is the Coach (Head, Offensive and Defensive collectively) of your team, wherein you are both the owner and the players. A divorce is likened to a season which could end in a SuperBowl experience. You’ve got to play a lot of games to get there and winning is in consistency and teamwork, on all accounts. Money or files given to an attorney doesn’t equate to success, much like money and equipment to a team. If you believe wearing Air Jordan tennis shoes equates to being great at basketball, well you’re likely as insightful as King Lear (who I’d assume if you are this person you also likely know nothing of).
You ultimately get out what you put in, Mrs. Smith can only use that which you give her (you as an owner and player in the analogy), and nobody likes an arm-chair Quarterback (see reviewer known as “Andrea Hall”). Just because a car can go fast and handle race-like conditions, doesn’t mean the person driving it knows how to do so. Fast cars and football teams also have bad days, and ultimately there’s the ol’ referee or the race official who’s involved. The people in those roles are there to enforce the rules of the game/race, but even they sometimes make bad calls or are unfairly biased. Ultimately, the only way you know if a car, coach or lawyer will result in affecting your desired favorable outcome is to employ it/them. Also, be smart enough to know that in doing so, that it doesn’t remove you from responsibility on some or many levels to participate, contribute and behave accordingly.
If you are dealing with any matter related to the services provided by Miller & Smith Law Firm in Harnett County, it would behoove you to at least add them to your list of potential representatives when deciding who is best to represent you. In my opinion and experience, provided you uphold or exceed that which is on your end of what’s required, you simply can’t go wrong by retaining their services.

Kate is an amazing human being. Kate is very compassionate about helping her community and is very empathetic with her clients. Kate is easy to talk to and is a great listener. I believe that Kate's super power is catching errors in legal documents that would otherwise go unnoticed. This really helped the fluidity of the attorney/client relationship and lets you know you can trust her reviewing any and all of your documents. Kate doesn't back down- she kept going even when she thought she couldn't anymore. If you are looking for an attorney as well as an advocate, look no further!!!
Couldn't recommend them enough!

John is very personable, friendly, professional, accommodating, and closed us on time. I'm not sure I will use him again as it seemed he was, at the time, too busy to keep us well informed. To be fair, maybe he thought we didn't need to know. I am giving John the benefit of the doubt in my rating for Trustworthy; he didn't do anything to make me distrust him. I would recommend him to others with these reservations.

This lawyer tried to handle my criminal case. The one day I was told to be in court I was there. My case got continued due to officer being absent . after court I was told that someone from the law firm would contact me to let me know whether I would have to appear at my next court date. Nobody ever contacted me .I got a call on my courtdate , about an hour and a half after court started wondering where I was at. If I would have known I had to be there I would have appeared. So the lawyer said he will try to get me a new court date in the next few days. A week later I emailed him 2 different times to see if he got a new date. Well about 2 weeks later a policeman was knocking at my door with a warrant for my arrest. I spent several hours in jail and my kids were devastated their mommy went to jail. Wasted 800.00 also.
