I needed some legal advice regarding setting up my handmade business. Chase Wells is a talented artist who sells his graffiti art in a local gallery, so I felt he would understand my needs. I was right. He was very thorough and informative. Mr. Wells met my needs and answered my many questions with ease, even ones not pertaining to my business. He discussed at length with me various liability and tax issues and the best ways to set up my business, as well as what document and legal disclaimers I would need. I feel very confident to move forward with the consultation and legal advice he gave me.

I was lucky enough to meet a member of the team so willing to help at a very convenient time for me! Chase was very informative, helpful, and thorough in helping me understand the law and why it is the way it is. I probably won't pursue my case with a lawyer, however it would be worth the time to sit down and talk with them. Thanks again!

While my son was visiting the Smokies, he received 2 speeding tickets (1 in Swain County and 1 in Cherokee County) a couple of days apart. Rather than just paying the fines and accepting the points on his license, I researched and hired an lawyer. My research pointed me to to the firm of Brown, Ward & Haynes. Mr. John Ammons and his assistant Roger Taylor provided excellent advice and service in getting the tickets reduced to improper equipment infractions. They kept me informed of their progress and were easy to contact. His fee was also reasonable. I would highly recommed him.

After being hurt in a car accident that was not my fault, it became clear quickly that I would need an attorney to make sure my interests would be taken of. Through referrals my daughter got while I was in the hospital, we decided to contact Melrose Law. Throughout the whole process, the Melrose's, Brandy and their staff have been professional, respectful and kind. I believe the results were the best outcome possible and really appreciate their efforts!

I got a speeding ticket in McDowell county while traveling home to Orange County. I contacted Eric Johnson at Curtis Sluder and Associates, and he immediately put my mind at ease. Eric and the professional staff kept me informed throughout the process, appeared in court on my behalf, and negotiated a more than satisfactory resolution. I would highly recommend their services.

I cannot express the level of gratitude I feel for Nielsen law firm , Josh and Meagan. He went above and beyond any expectation I had. Down to earth, level headed and absolutely genuine people. I would never consider hiring any other law firm from this point forward. If any of you are reserved about hiring Nielsen law firm, please let it go and at least go in for a consult. Sincerely, JSM

I had hoped when I initially hired Ms. Vanhook that because she had been a former family court judge that she would know all of the ins, outs, loopholes, and best ways to sway judgements for her clients. She doesn't. I thought because she was a mom, that she would be sympathetic for my particular situations and predicaments, she wasn't. I thought because of time constraints and my location she would work hard to fast track my case, nope. I actually felt like she was partnering with my ex's attorney to keep continuing the case so I could not get custody of my son, and told her so. Firing her did not make it clear I was done with her lack of professionalism and assistance. She took money from me to do a job that wasn't done. I stopped paying her and told her that there would not be another dime until she got me to court. I feel she should refund my money, as I did her job myself. The most she did was file a motion for me, that I paid for, and appear in court for the weekly sorting of cases and agree with counsel to continue continuing the case. I don't think that was worth what I paid, as that may have equaled less than 30 minutes of time dealing with my case alone. She never, in her tenure on my case, let me know my son needed to be subpoenaed to appear, he's 12. She never truly gave me the information I asked for and rarely took it upon herself to contact me. Firing her twice didn't make a dent for her to withdraw, until I took matters in my own hands with a judge.
Don't use this attorney for child custody/divorce. Ms. Vanhook does not put the needs of her clients first. If you want updates or questions answered, you have to contact and contact and contact Ms. Vanhook before you get an answer, which is probably a half-truth answer at best.
I got myself on the docket for my custody trial. I may not be an attorney, or handled myself perfectly in court, or was told I had to subpoena my son, so he did not get to include his voice and let the court know how he felt, but I got the job done and I am now waiting on my court order from the judge. I am glad this is over and no matter what happens, I know it's more than I could have expected from Ms. Vanhook based on Ms. Vanhook's previous work and care on my case.
I had to give her at least one star, but in my opinion, deserves none.

I hired Danya to help get custody of my three children, and she fought hard for me. The divorce process is tough, and not only is it emotionally difficult and physically draining. The actual legal process itself is simply unchartered territory for for me. My divorce was one of the most painful and grueling experience of my life, and Danya help me successfully navigate this nightmare! I felt as though Danya genuinely cared about me, and the fate of my children. She listen to my perspective, and my opinions, and incorporated that into her thinking for the case, if it was appropriate. Danya didn't sugar coat anything, and she got me through making tough choices that would be best for me and my children. My case was complicated or that I made it complicated because, I was in playing shocked by my my ex-husband's ridiculous unjustified financial demands! Danya has the experience and is knowledgeable of the law. She worked my child custody case in the most cost-effective possible. Danya does not implify the attorney stereotype of those seeking only to make a profit. She is a good person and someone, I also consider to be a friend!

We hired Danya to represent our son with a difficult case involving many charges. The entire process was long through the court system, Danya stayed by our side through the whole thing. She represented us well and all charges were dropped. I could not be happier with her service and dedication to our son. Would recommend 100%. Thank you Danya

I would HIGHLY recommend Mr.Taylor to anyone who needs assistance getting disability benefits. He has worked for over 3 years with multiple appeals to get my brother-in-law Dennis his benefits. He kept fighting even after Dennis had given up and never asked for anything extra. He knew Dennis could no longer work due to multiple reasons and kept pushing until he proved that fact. Thank you so much for never giving up hope! We are so grateful for your service.

the PA that works at this office failed to provide a contract with the correct information for a land transfer 3 different times. Each time was worse that the last. Somehow managed to involve our neighbor who has never had any dealings with the parcel… After giving up in January and seeking other aide the matter was settled professionally and swiftly with no issues. Thank you Wenzel and Wenzel! I just received a email asking to remit payment for a contract provided from the office of Joel R weaver when I called to dispute it I was rudely told “Then don’t worry about it” and promptly hung up on. So that was cool.

Me Gilligan and I went to court and when he came to me he came to me and used the words a singular charge of reckless driving. All paper work I signed regarding this plea only had a singular charge on it, yet later I found out I was also charged and convicted of dwlr non impaired. He will not return my phone calls and this has been years now the DA tells me he’s the only one that can fix this clerical error. No one else. This is in Jackson county. I am still not able to obtain a license due to me gilligan not returning my calls to resolve this matter. Years. I’ll remove this if he finally reaches out. 980.349.9404 thank you in advance Mr. Gilligan

I hired Gilligan for my case, and he ensured me that he would appear for me on my court date. That day came around and he DID NOT show up and a bond was out in my name. I never even heard from him that day. I only knew this because the other person involved in my case (who hired a different lawyer) was there and told me that no one was there to represent me. After calling his firm numerous times, I couldn’t get a hold of him. Finall I heard from him and he was on his honeymoon!?!?! Why did you lie and say you would appear in court for me on that day? Why didn’t you tell me you were getting married that week? I guess he tried to do some sort of absence form that somehow didn’t make it to the court. He blamed his paralegal of course (which by the way, he went through 3 different paralegals during the time I had him retained. That speaks volumes of how he runs his business.) after that gets worked out, I complete my community service, turn in the forms to him, and I NEVER HEAR BACK FROM HIM AGAIN. After numerous follow ups, I had to contact the NC STATE BAR and tell them he abandoned my case and wouldn’t talk to me. They told me to write him a letter and see if he responds. He of course, did not. The State Bar calls him and of course he gets back to me right away with no apology that he was ignoring me for weeks. This man is rude, dishonest, uncommunicative, and unreliable. I beg you not to give him a minute of your time or cent of your money. There are much better lawyers in the area. PLEASE DONT HIRE HIM.

If I could give negative stars, I would. After a year, their lawyer is withdrawing from my case due to relocation. After paying them around $10k, I now do not have a lawyer to represent me at my LAST hearing. They don't even have the decency, ethics or morals to find an attorney within their firm to cover my last hearing. I paid the retainer and have been paying $500-$1000/month every month for the past year for them to ditch me at the last minute, through no fault of my own. Now they still want me to pay them over $4k? For what? I need the $4k to find another attorney. THEY should be paying ME back everything I've paid them thus far since they withdrew because of their own issues. It's not my problem or my fault. It's King Law's problem and King Law's fault. Steer clear!!! All they care about is money and they will ditch you no matter how much you've paid them!

He was completely inadequate to handle my custody matter. Because of him & his extremely poor representation, my daughter is in danger. He has no clue what he's doing. He will not stand up for you. He will sit there and scribble notes while you're on the stand getting torn apart by the opposing party. Do NOT use him. If my daughter were to get abused again, Tim will be part to blame for that.

Attorney' Lewis has not yet went in front of the Judge or D.A to debate any of my cases yet only bc my court date was continued. But so far..
From just meeting him, talking with him about myself & my case, and planning with him.. Seems like he is a "Radical" lawyer to have appointed. Sounds, acts and carries himself in a very proffesional style.
Sooo.... High hopes tht he does an amazing job with my case and i can go on about my life. Heehee. We'll find out soon.

Mr. Lewis was appointed to represent me in some criminal matters in Haywood County. From the beginning, he was very good with communication and let me know that my case mattered to him. He told me to have confidence in him for a trial. The Judge found me not guilty and I owe it all to Mr. Lewis. He was incredibly professional.

I hired her based upon a recommendation to consult the law firm that she was with at that time. After hiring an paying her approximately 6000.00 dollars, she lost my case by according to the court she never properly entered the defense she was attempting to argue. When I ask her about negotiating and settling the case, she then told me she would not speak to the opposing attorney as "they did not speak". I then hired a respected and qualified attorney and quickly settled the matter.

While I cannot attest to the entire WNC law firm staff (they might be good lawyers). I can say that Brian and his paralegal Mica gave a below average effort (I have had the pleasure of dealing with other competent lawyers in the past). I hired him for a civil family law case, not criminal law. I think he either had trouble understanding my situation or he didn't care. Several times he stated something like, "If you had more money things would be different" I cannot remember his exact words. That statement confused me because I gave him 5 thousand dollars and he did nothing for me, but appear in court, and file a motion. All discussions between him and my opposition was done in secret in the back room. Other things that irritated me, the simple act of getting a phone call returned was a joke. All legal feedback was given in hindsight and all planning was done 5 minutes before court started. He allowed the opposing attorney set the terms and control the case, which I verbally detested to Brian. To further aggravate me, half the time, I was unable to reach voice mail at the WNC Law Firm. I was later told that it was, "Being worked on". I was not impressed by their (Brain and Mica) performance, it was sub-par at best. Don't be fooled, Brain is good at selling himself as competent. Brian is good at telling you what you want to hear. However, you're not looking for a life coach, you're looking for zealous legal representation. In reality, Brian has no industry recognition (clout). He guaranteed me that something (a legal outcome) was not going to happen. Guess what happened? The exact thing he said he would prevent from occurring. He blamed the Judge for the outcome! Not his poor lawyer skills, his lack of effort, or his inability to understand my case. My understanding is that there is a cardinal rule among attorneys that you never speak to a client in absolutes. Giving a client a 100% guaranteed outcome is frowned upon. Obviously, that rule doesn't apply to Brian or he missed that day back in law school. In my opinion, you can do much better than Brian K Law and his assistant Mica. I spent over 5 thousand dollars and Brian did nothing for me that I couldn't do alone. Heed my warnings, go elsewhere and demand a flat rate contract. Unless you like throwing money in the garbage. That's my 2 cents.
