I needed Jasons Help with a business licensing agreement and a merchandising agreement I was asked to sign. I am so glad I asked him to look at them because he found several things that needed to be changed in my favor and the best interest of both parties. If I didn't have Jasons help, I could have signed these agreements that would have been a big problem if I ever needed to dispute something court with the agreements. Jason was great at explaining to me, and the other parties involved what and why the changes are necessary.

Craig helped our family in so many ways! He went above and beyond to respond to text and phone calls. He was spot on with guidance and when he didn’t know the answer he found it and reported back in a timely manner. He was personable, respectful, and always allowed us to lead the way with prompting questions or topics that we didn’t even consider when fighting a battle that needed legal attention. 10/10 would recommend their firm!

I have know Craig Morgan since he was a sophomore in High School. His character and hard work is second to none. A lawyers' traits are usually wisdom, knowledge, and "out of the box" thinking. He has A+'s in all the aforementioned traits. What separates him from the herd is his integrity and character. The man has always been there for me and goes way out of his way to help me in anyway he can! I wish I had the leadership skills and work ethic he has. At the end of the day......if he says he will do something...you can count on it 100%!

Brian Tatum did an absolutely amazing wonderful job for me and my family. He went above and beyond and gave my case 110% all the time! He thought of creative ideas to work through covid. He treated me and my family with the utmost respect and professionalism and yet at the same time like a friend. He got me justice. He listened and truly cared. I will forever be grateful of all he did for me. He stood up to a large insurance company and never backed down. He got me a large cash settlement. I would highly recommend Tatum law to anyone who is looking for Justice.

I cannot recommend Rob Blair and his staff enough. They exuded positivity and professionalism in every interaction. Rob's advice was excellent and also measured, which I very much appreciated, and I felt confident that we were on the right course every step of the way. He and his staff were prompt and attentive to details and I felt very supported during what was a difficult process. Most importantly, I felt that Rob really took the time to know exactly where I was coming from and provided strong representation and advocacy while respecting the type of tone I wished to strike. I would recommend him to anyone needing a family lawyer for any reason.

Extremely pleased with all the professionals at Essex Richards! My husband was denied long term disability by the insurance company from his former employer. Norris Adams and his team went out of their way to understand our problem and put together an appeal package that reversed the insurance company decision immediately. His team's efforts resulted in an indescribable positive impact on our family. Now our future doesn't look so bleak. Thank you Norris and Tona!

Our family has entrusted the Danica Little Law firm for several years. They have created two trusts and two wills and provided essential legal advice.

We originally hired Ms. Little’s firm to assist with decisions and then writing our will. When we had some life changing events, we returned for advice again…….Ms. Little and her firm are and were extremely knowledgeable about our needs and kept us on tract with possibilities of which we were unaware. My husband is a 100% disabled veteran and Ms Little, of course, incorporated this information into the decisions made for our estate.
We have been and still are excited to have Ms Little and her firm taking care of all our estate planning. None better……..

I hired Elspeth Crawford in March of 2015 for a hit and run and a DUI. I consulted with Elspeth the following Monday of my arrest. I hired her for a fair price. She and her partner immediately got my drivers license back from the court house. She told me exactly how she wanted to handle the case, including which witnesses to bring in. On the 4th court continuance, all of my charges were dropped.

My wife and I were named in a lawsuit due to a breach of contract. Our roofing contractor didn't pay his roofing materials supplier, so we were being sued by the supplier also. I hired Elspeth to handle this legal matter. She was very courteous and professional and assured me that this lien on our house and lawsuit would be taken care of.
I gave her copies of the insurance checks cashed by the contractor and also checks cashed by him for our portion of the contract such as insurance deductible. With in a few weeks, Elspeth had this matter cleared up and the opposing attorney removed the lien from our house.
I would definitely use Elspeth Crawford again if needed!

Mr. Adler recently assisted me with an overdue maintenance request to my landlord/property management company for which he exceeded all expectations. He was able to resolve the maintenance issue immediately and successfully negotiate a rent abatement. Mr. Adler and his entire staff were courteous, attentive, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire process. I was promptly informed about any updates and presented with all available options and possible outcomes when making decisions. I've never had the need for an attorney but have no doubt that in the future...this is my man! So, if you ever have to go to battle, I would recommend having Derek Adler on the front line as victory will surely be yours:-)Thanks Derek!!!

Chris Clark has the unique ability to take the complex components of patent and trademark law and relay the facts in an "easy-to-digest" manner. Chris' skill at using current trends and technology in communicating with his clients, keeping them informed of the processes associated with securing a trademark or patent, as well as the progress of their application, make conducting business with him a welcome thing.

Chris Clark was referred to me from a very trustworthy and nationally known businessman. He has been more than an attorney to me as an inventor/entrepreneur and has become a trusted business adviser.
In the past, I've experienced less than acceptable service from lawyers, but Chris is different, knowledgeable and very attentive. His response time is almost immediate which has been critically important for a few of my business situations.
I've also appreciated his calm, respectful, yet firm approach to difficult situations. Thank you Chris for being my confidante and attorney!

I met Bo as a 3rd recommendation from other attorneys. They told me he was the man for this case. I retained Bo and right from the get he was in my face honest and told me a likely outcome. He's a regular guy that explains the law jargon in plain English. I was involved in a suit case and I only had a certain amount to settle the case. His tactics were hard for me to understand at times but in the end case settled for the amount I told him was available to me. HE NAILED IT! Hard worker cares about his clients and takes time to explain processes. Hard to find someone like Bo these days that actually has the motivation, knowledge and drive to solve my problem. I would recommend Bo, and as a matter of fact already have, to anyone with a litigation issue like mine. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

I worked with, and retained William Devore IV for a legal mess that I was in. I feel that his representation and consultation throughout the process exceeded my expecations. He helped streamline 2 different issues that I was having, whereupon one dealt with renters and the other my property management company. William is knowlegable, articulate and most importantly assertive with his handle on the law. He guided me along the right path and even went above the billable retainer to get my desired outcome. Hopefully, I won't need his services in the future, but if I am in a legal bind, I would have no thoughts about a different counsel.

We had a very difficult adoption situation that required some one who was extremely knowledgeable in adoption law and had years of experience with adoption cases. Mr. Thurman was both of those things. On top of that, he was honest with us and didn't "beat around the bush." He told us what he knew, what he expected and what our course of action should be. He walked us through the entire process and when we went before the State Supreme Court of North Carolina, he represented our case with dignity, respect and confidence. Our adoption is now finalized and we are a forever family thanks to the hard work and determination of Mr. Thurman. I recommend Mr. Thurman to all my friends and family dealing with adoption matters.

I'm a Developer/Broker in Uptown Charlotte & have contracted Ron several times this year. Ron has assisted me with several closings both personally and with clients. Ron is always prepared and detail oriented when going over all paper work; he takes the time to explain each document without the boring monotone legal jargon many other attorney's use that can be confusing. Ron has also drafted legal contracts for me at a reasonable price to help protect my interests in real estate investments. Unlike most attorney's Ron answers his phone or will call you back in a timely fashion. He's a great asset to have in your corner to discuss the legal situation you're inquiring about and he's quick to point out any potential liabilities that may arise. Ron always looks out for the best interest of his clients. I'd certainly recommend Ron for any real estate attorney needs.

He gives great advice and explains every concern in simple terms. He quickly responds to every concern and is extremely fair with is time and pricing.
He has helped me out more than a few times with business and personal issues.
We had some concerns with our HOA that was dragging on for over a year. He took his time and was able to resolve it on the first visit. I had spoken with other attorneys and they wanted to go to court and charge a lot more.
For my business he has helped with complicated issues such as defending a workers compensation case and as simple as drafting legal documents to use with my clients.
The best part is that he is bilingual.
I recommend Ronald to anyone in need.

I'm in-house counsel for a rapidly-growing private company. I came to Ron to assist us with a matter that is incredibly commercially sensitive and - if not handled properly - could potentially involve our trade secret and proprietary information being disclosed in the public domain.
Ron jumped right in, asking insightful questions from the outset of the engagement that inspired confidence. He continues to earn my faith in him every day, as he quickly tackles these projects as they come up with close attention to detail and deadlines. He understands the sensitivity of the work he does for us, and is a consummate professional. He conducts himself in a respectful manner at all times, including with external parties with whom he often has to interface as it relates to our projects. He does quality work so quickly that I often have trouble keeping up with his output. As inside counsel, this is the best problem I could possibly have. It gives me great piece of mind to have Ron on our team.
Ron is also timely with his billing and he produces clear and concise invoices.

Mr. Smith is highly unusual as an attorney. He could best be described as "old School". He is very kind and forms a personal relationship with his clients.

Mr. Smith was able to handle my legal problem with results that exceeded my expectations.

I would highly recommend Liz from my experiences with her in the past year since I first saw her for a consultation. She has been a go-to for questions for me as a mental health therapist: she is always prompt in response, gets me the answers I need, and is also personable and easy to work with.
For me, it's extremely important to have a lawyer not just from my liability insurance company because I know Liz will have my interests front and center. I also find it invaluable that she is well-versed in North Carolina laws - for me, these have involved everything from contract law to family law - as well as having familiarity with the specifics of mental health care. I am so pleased to have found her as a resource.

Liz Vennum was recommended to me by a friend and I am so grateful. From the time we first spoke, I could tell that she really cared about me as a person and not just a “client”. She set realistic expectations with me and we worked well together as a team. Liz is extremely knowledgeable, skilled and professional as well as empathetic and kind during what can be a stressful time. I was confident that I was in good hands with Liz from our initial consult to the completion of the case. It was so refreshing to experience how communicative Liz was throughout the whole process. This was most reassuring as she always responded to calls and answered my correspondence promptly as opposed to me feeling “out of the loop” which can be very disconcerting. Not the case at all with Liz. She is undeniably the best attorney I have ever worked with. She is stellar at her job. She provides expertise and professional knowledge as well as a personable and genuine personality. She treated me as more than just a “client.” She is definitely a cut above most professionals. She is compassionate and truly had my best interest at heart. Liz undoubtedly “went to bat” for me and I appreciate her. She not only does her job extremely well, she is passionate about her clients. I highly recommend her and I am confident that she will meet your needs to the best of her ability. Thank you Liz!

The team seem to work well together and respond in a timely manner. Liz (my assigned attorney) took the time to review material presented to her prior to our meeting; she was attentive and professional throughout the briefing. Shortly after our meeting Liz was able to correspond with employer and gained favorable advance towards my claim.

I run a small business out of Charlotte, NC. My knowledge of small business law is very limited. I was referred to Mr. Rex Morgan by a local patent attorney. Having a local attorney refer me to Rex said a great deal about Rex's reputation in the community. He is well liked and as professional as they come. Upon hiring Rex, I was immediately impressed by how polite and well spoken he was. His true excellence was in the court room when he defended our company as if it was his own. You could tell that Rex was not viewed your stereotypical lawyer. The judge appreciated the forward, level headed (not animated) tone that Rex took when defending us. He never became emotional and was always two steps ahead of the opposing side. Could not have asked for better representing counsel on behalf of our company. Thank you Rex Morgan!!!

I engaged Jim after a major investment firm froze all of my father’s assets, and subsequently the assets that I had with the firm as well. At 100 years of age my father had finally begun to succumb to a number of health issues. With diminished capacity as well as significant memory issues, he was declared incompetent. It was a very tough time for the family as you can imagine. My father had a revocable trust in place, and had removed the major investment firm as successor trustee the year before. The investment firm chose to ignore the provisions of the trust, and was not only cavalier about their actions but became virtually non-responsive. Jim engaged directly with the firm’s General Counsel and very appropriately got straight to the matter. Jim also engaged other members of his firm to assist, Christian Perrin specifically, and together they provided our family with excellent counsel and resolved all matters. The investment firm made things very complicated, but Jim resolved matters within 45 days. Jim’s approach was measured and extremely professional. His firm operates as a team, and we felt extremely well represented. Another member of the family is now likely to use their services for estate planning as well. I highly recommend Jim and the firm.

My family and I called on Jim 5 years ago to assist us in entering into a Guardianship for our brother, who was deemed medically and legally an Incompetent. Jim's knowledge of the State Guardianship laws, coupled with his excellent preparation of the case, took us through Mediation and final Court hearing with all considerations to the best interests of our brother.
Jim continues to assist our family with legal advice and actions needed in light of the controversial events still taking place. My family and I highly recommend Jim for legal assistance with Guardianship proceedings.

I hired Mr. Wiggins when I had an idea for a Patent. He walked me through the process and was very clear on what I could expect. He worked just as hard as I did to get this Patent. I felt so supported throughout the entire experience. I appreciated his honesty, his diligence and hard work. I HIGHLY recommend him.

Mem's name and number came highly recommended by a friend of mine. We met in his office and I immediately knew that I was in good hands. We successfully registered for my Trademark and then filed 2 separate Patent Applications. Mem worked to help me with wording and researching the terms needed for the application of each patent filing. His meetings and follow-ups were always thorough and to the point. He is a fantastic communicator and no matter how little you know about the process, he makes it easy to understand.
I consider Mem to be a partner and one of my most valuable assets because I can rely on him for direction and assistance in defining patent ability. I go to him for discussion before I go to my CAD and Machinist - his inputs have saved me both time and expense at the prototype stages.

Matthew M. Marcellino has shown a very professional and assertive approach since the first appointment, on the phone and from the other side of the world. He did not create any easy and false expectation. He prospected us how he would handle the case, why he wanted to follow that way and what would the best and realistic results be respectively. And the time was against us.
We achieved what we factually proved to be truthful within the frame of law he proved to master; and for this he has our sincere moral reward for life.

How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:

- Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
- A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
- Any current contracts or agreements: If you're seeking contract advice, bring copies of existing contracts.

- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
