Mr Witt helped me tremendously with my speeding ticket. I live in a different county than where my ticket was received. I didn't have to appear in court, and my charges were reduced. He also helped me pay my court costs through the payment portal when the system would not accept my payment on my device. I will definitely be calling him if I ever receive another ticket in Union County. Thank you, Mr. Witt.

Ken Swain at Swain Law in Monroe is someone I will think of as a source of comfort for the rest of my life. He took on my case, put me at ease, but gave it to me straight. He prepared me for the worse case scenario but delivered the best outcome by far! He is smart, kind and all around an amazing attorney.

Alan is a sophisticated professional. Wow, did I say wow?!!!! He will tell you up front EXACTLY what will happen with your case. Also known as the truth, which (by the way you probably already know.) My advise is to just let him do his job -that he is more than capable of doing. Don't ask too many questions or get yourself worked up. Alan will tell you in advance almost the exact outcome of your case to a t. In the end you can feel good about him as a human being because he won't resort to less than favorable behaviour. And by that I mean other attorneys who have to use immature tactics to make up for what they lack as men. Although it is quite entertaining to watch some of them!!! Especially JIM WARREN!!! Hahahahaha!!!!! Submitted by JULIE MEDLIN, who JUST WON HER CASE!!!!!!!!!Thank you ALAN KRUSCH!

I am incredibly grateful for the unwavering support and dedication provided by Andrew Rheingrover over the past several years. Andrew has been instrumental in navigating one of the most challenging alimony cases on record in the state. His relentless effort includes supporting me through numerous court trials and two Court of Appeals hearings. While I have faced intense scrutiny during the trials, it is the judges' rulings that are currently under significant scrutiny in the ongoing appellate proceedings. Andrew, a distinguished member of one of Charlotte, NC’s most prestigious law firms, continues to fight tirelessly on my behalf. I extend my deepest thanks to him for his exceptional service. I am forever in his debt.

Andrew is an extremely effective attorney. I started out with a different attorney for my difficult child custody case. I did not feel that my prior attorney had my best interest in mind and was doing only the bare minimum in preparing my case. I decided to seek other representation. I hired Andrew very late in the process, with my TPA hearing only 2 weeks away. Andrew was able to put together a very solid and sensible case based on the facts, far superior to what was done previously for me. Right away, I noticed a dramatic difference in the way Andrew was handling and preparing my case, compared to my previous attorney. I was extremely impressed with how quickly Andrew got up to speed and reviewed/prepared all of the evidence in such a short amount of time. He is organized and stays on top of everything. In addition, he made himself very available to me, whether it was just questions I had, or any concerns or updates that I needed to know. He continued to work diligently throughout the entire weekend prior to my hearing. Andrew has a unique ability to look at the facts, makes sense of your case, and then present them in a very intelligent and articulate way. Andrew is the entire reason I now have joint custody of my 4-month-old son and that he is being returned to his home state. I am immensely grateful to Andrew for his hard work in fighting for my rights as a father. I absolutely recommend Andrew as an attorney. My only regret is that I did not find Andrew initially. Child custody cases are very expensive so it is critical that you hire an attorney that will work hard and fight for your parental rights. Andrew Rheingrover is that man.

Andrew has been a huge blessing and supporter in my case! I spoke to him in a consultation a couple of months prior to my separation and he took his time and listened and took notes of everything that I said to him. After speaking with him, I knew immediately that he was who I wanted to represent me if I needed him ( I had spoken to 3 other attorneys prior to meeting Andrew). Shortly after my separation, I had papers served to me from my ex to try and get full custody of our daughter. I was devastated, hurt and in disbelief that my ex would ever do something like this. I immediately contacted Andrew to let him know what was going on and he jumped on my case instantly. Andrew is very caring, knowledgeable, and a man of his word. Throughout this process he has been very pro-active and with all the stress that comes along with a separation/divorce/custody case; Andrew has a way to put you at ease. I have full trust that Andrew has my best interest and truly grateful to have him as my attorney. He is just phenomenal! Also, I can not leave out Jane (paralegal). She is truly just an Angel! She's very informative and responsive and just overall awesome. I would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone who is dealing with a divorce/custody battle!

Separation and divorce can be overwhelming, intimidating and confusing. Attorney Amanda Cubit can help you. Amanda became my attorney in 2017 and has helped me every step of the way through the divorce/custody process for the past 7 years. During that time, I have seen her grow as an attorney.Compassionate, caring, professional, capable, patient and fair are all adjectives I would use to describe Amanda. She has the knowledge, intelligence and ability to navigate legal matters effectively. She offers great advice and is open to hearing your feedback, as well. Separation, divorce and custody court are nearly impossible to deal with and you don’t want to handle this alone – especially in a high-conflict situation or if dealing with a litigious spouse. I highly recommend Amanda to help you navigate the divorce process. Amanda also understands domestic violence. Her compassion, help and expertise in this area are invaluable. Divorce and custody issues are what Amanda deals with every day. She knows the law and works conscientiously to make the best use of your time and money. If you have any questions while working with her, be sure to ask. Amanda is continually working behind the scenes on your behalf.

I did my separation with them back in 2021. I had all the paperwork needed and it was a very simple sign and done situation. I was charged thousands to do this. After speaking to other attorneys now since, apparently I was totally done wrong and way overcharged for this. Everyone was totally floored by the price I was charged. Never again.

Highly recommend Dement Askew & Johnson’s Attorneys office to anyone seeking highly professional and qualified experts that actually care about your case or particular situation and will go above and beyond to accomplish the best possible outcome. I was represented be Tyler C. Ellenberg who patiently handled my case with an excellent demeanor and as I personally know how busy attorneys can be, he treated my case as if it was priority and did everything in his power to yield results that couldn’t be better. I don’t usually leave reviews but I can’t help but brag about the exceptional service I received with hope that others will read this and benefit from a law firm that’s genuinely top-notch and actually wants to help people. Thanks again for the wonderful experience and well-pleased results.

She doesn't tell you what to do. She will ask what you want to do then she will fight with everything in her power to get the outcome you want. I would give her 10 stars if I could!!!

I retained Mr. Brown for a speeding ticket. I was required to attend the court date but live out of state. Besides the worry over insurance rates and points on my license, I read that NC can suspend your license over certain speeding tickets, so I panicked just a little bit. Mr. Brown handled it all and got the ticket changed to a non-moving violation - as of today the case is completely settled, and the court date wasn’t even for another month. Extremely affordable, very knowledgeable staff, fast service. Cannot recommend him enough.

I got into a bind and was reluctant at first because of prices. I saw Mrs . Lacy H online and after already seeing great reviews I decided to reach out via email to discuss my case. Mrs. Lacy was very understanding and was very willing to negotiate my price as well being that I could have well spent over 1,000 is dollars I ended up paying only roughly 5-7 hundred. After a few emails back and forth she was very straightforward and helpful regarding possible outcomes and reassuring me every step of the way and showing up promptly to my case. I felt very validated. Thanks for helping me get the best outcome for my case .

It has been an honor and privilege to have Sonya Dubree represent me for 2+ years throughout my divorce process. I am deeply grateful for her expertise, compassion, and dedication. Sonya's partnership with Tharrington Smith (THS), alongside Steven Mansbery's representation, allowed them to expertly manage my divorce case, including the complex business and financial aspects involved. Their exceptional efforts led to favorable outcomes, including temporary spousal support, successful contempt motions and orders, attorney’s fees, and alimony. Although delays were unavoidable due to the defendant’s non-compliance and intentional obstruction—even in defiance of court orders—Sonya and Steven navigated these challenges with remarkable skill and professionalism, ultimately securing significant victories on my behalf. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Sonya, Steven, Monica, and Carolynn for their outstanding work during my alimony trial. Sonya’s opening statement was deeply compelling, compassionate, and credible, showcasing her commitment to my best interests. She excelled in cross-examinations and demonstrated genuine care and understanding when questioning me. Steven’s dedication, exceptional handling of expert witnesses, and strong expertise in complex financial analysis were invaluable in addressing the business, accounting, and economic aspects of my case, giving me confidence in his advocacy. I also appreciated Carolynn’s support throughout the hearing; her presence made a meaningful difference, strengthening our case. Together, they navigated the defendant’s tactics with finesse and crafted expertly tailored filings. The diligence and commitment of the THS team have not gone unnoticed, and I am sincerely grateful for all they have done for me. I feel truly fortunate to have had their representation. Throughout this process, I developed a strong bond with Sonya, who not only fought tirelessly on my behalf but also kept me grounded, providing both expert legal guidance and compassionate support. She is an exceptional attorney and a wonderful person, and I am deeply thankful for her. Despite the frustrations—particularly with the defendant’s failure to substantiate financial claims and expenses—Sonya and her team offered me something invaluable: hope for the future and a sense of peace as this chapter nears its close.

I met Daphne Edwards and her staff in the midst of a high-conflict custody battle. There are no words to describe how amazing Daphne and her staff truly are! High conflict cases can become lengthy and contentious. Daphne and her staff were attentive and supportive to our case from day one. Daphne guided us through the entire process, set expectations on what to expect during the process, helped us to stay focused on key issues and stayed in contact with us to update us on any developments as we neared our trial date. From start to finish, Daphne and her staff knocked this out of the park! Daphne was thoroughly prepared for our trial and represented us better than we could have ever asked for! She is brilliant, strategic, attentive and has the ability to maintain a graceful level of integrity even when the opposing counsel does not. We are forever grateful to have Daphne and her staff in our lives! I highly recommend Daphne Edwards and her staff to anyone who is unfortunately going through a divorce and/or custody battle. Those are the times you need supportive people around you. People who listen and will fight for you. You will not find better than Daphne Edwards.

However, her true skills lie in her empathic abilities to navigate complex family situations like domestic violence, to get the best and safest results for her clients.

What a Domestic Violence Lawyer Can Do for You

A domestic violence lawyer provides legal assistance to individuals involved in cases of domestic abuse, whether you are a victim seeking protection or someone accused of domestic violence defending against the charges. These lawyers help with obtaining restraining orders (protective orders), representing clients in criminal court, and handling related family law issues such as child custody, divorce, and visitation rights.

If you are dealing with domestic violence, a lawyer can help protect your rights and navigate the legal system to ensure your safety or defend you if you’re falsely accused.

When Should I Hire a Domestic Violence Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a domestic violence lawyer if you are:

  • A Victim of Domestic Violence:
    • Filing for a protective order (restraining order): If you need immediate protection from an abuser, a lawyer can help you file for a protective order, which legally requires the abuser to stay away from you and refrain from contacting you.
    • Divorce or separation due to abuse: If domestic violence is a factor in your relationship, a lawyer can help you pursue a divorce or legal separation and ensure that you are protected throughout the process.
    • Child custody and visitation issues: A lawyer can help you secure custody of your children and limit or restrict the abuser’s visitation rights to protect the safety of your children.
    • Filing criminal charges: If you are pursuing criminal charges against the abuser, a domestic violence lawyer can work with law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure the case is handled properly.
    • Assistance with safety planning: A lawyer can advise on the legal steps to create a safety plan, including securing temporary housing, and taking steps to protect you and your family.
  • Accused of Domestic Violence:
    • Defending against criminal charges: If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, a lawyer can defend your case, challenge the evidence, and represent you in court. If possible, the lawyer can help get charges reduced or dismissed.
    • Challenging a restraining order: If someone has obtained a protective order against you, a lawyer can help you contest the order to prevent it from negatively impacting your life, including your employment and child custody rights.
    • Dealing with family law issues: Domestic violence allegations can affect child custody, divorce, and property division. A lawyer can represent your interests in family court and ensure that your parental rights are protected.
    • Avoiding criminal record implications: A lawyer can work to minimize the impact of the allegations on your record, which can affect your employment, housing, and future legal matters.

Hiring a lawyer at the earliest stages can help ensure your rights are protected and the case is handled effectively, whether you are seeking protection or defending against accusations.

What Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Do?

A domestic violence lawyer provides various legal services depending on the specifics of your case. These responsibilities often include:

  • For Victims:
    • Filing for protective orders: A lawyer can help victims of domestic violence obtain temporary or permanent restraining orders, which provide legal protection by restricting the abuser’s access to you and your children.
    • Representing you in divorce and child custody matters: Domestic violence often leads to divorce or separation, and a lawyer can represent you in family court to protect your assets, secure custody of your children, and arrange spousal and child support.
    • Criminal representation: Lawyers work with law enforcement and prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against the abuser, ensuring that you are informed and supported throughout the legal process.
    • Safety planning and legal advice: Lawyers provide advice on how to stay safe legally and can assist in securing temporary housing, providing guidance on how to leave abusive situations safely.
  • For the Accused:
    • Defending against charges: A lawyer will build a defense by investigating the case, gathering evidence, and challenging the claims made against you. If necessary, the lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties.
    • Challenging protective orders: If a restraining order has been placed against you, a lawyer can contest the order and present evidence to defend against it, aiming to minimize its impact on your life and reputation.
    • Handling related family law issues: Lawyers help defend against domestic violence allegations in divorce, child custody, and visitation disputes, working to protect your parental rights and reputation.
    • Preventing long-term consequences: A lawyer will work to protect you from the long-term consequences of a domestic violence conviction, such as a criminal record that could affect employment, housing, and more.

How Are Domestic Violence Lawyers Paid?

Domestic violence lawyers generally charge for their services in different ways depending on the case's complexity and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many domestic violence lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. Hourly rates are common for both criminal defense and family law matters.
  • Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as filing a restraining order or defending against a straightforward domestic violence charge, some lawyers offer a flat fee that covers all legal work related to that service.
  • Retainer: In complex cases, such as those involving criminal charges, divorce, and custody disputes, a lawyer may require a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
  • Pro bono or reduced fees: Some domestic violence lawyers provide pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services to victims of domestic abuse who cannot afford legal representation.

It’s important to discuss fees during your consultation to ensure you understand how much your case will cost and what payment options may be available.

How Much Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a domestic violence lawyer depends on the complexity of your case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal work required. General cost estimates include:

  • Restraining orders: The legal fees for filing a protective or restraining order typically range from $500 to $2,500, depending on whether the case requires a hearing.
  • Criminal defense: If you’re defending against domestic violence charges, legal fees may range from $2,500 to $15,000 or more, depending on whether the case goes to trial and the severity of the charges.
  • Family law issues: Legal fees for divorce, child custody, and other family law issues related to domestic violence can range from $3,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
  • Hourly rates: Domestic violence lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour for their services, with more experienced lawyers charging higher rates.

Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand the total cost of legal services.

Top Questions to Ask a Domestic Violence Lawyer

Before hiring a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the right experience and approach for your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with domestic violence cases?
    Ensure that the lawyer has handled domestic violence cases similar to yours, whether you’re a victim or the accused.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, flat fees, or a retainer, and ask for a detailed cost estimate.
  3. What is the likely outcome of my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Domestic violence cases vary in length, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what might cause delays.
  5. Will I need to appear in court?
    Ask if your participation in court is required, and how the lawyer plans to represent you during hearings or trials.
  6. What steps should I take to protect myself or my rights?
    Whether you’re a victim seeking protection or defending against allegations, ask the lawyer how they will help you navigate the situation.

How to Check the Credibility of a Domestic Violence Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable domestic violence lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for domestic violence experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in domestic violence cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients say about their experience with the lawyer.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have been involved in domestic violence cases.
  • Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for certifications or memberships in family law or domestic violence advocacy groups, such as the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • For Victims:
    • Details of the abuse: Prepare a detailed account of the abuse, including dates, locations, and descriptions of any injuries or threats.
    • Police reports and medical records: Bring copies of any police reports, medical records, or photographs that document the abuse.
    • Legal filings: If you have already filed for a restraining order or been involved in any legal proceedings, bring copies of those documents.
    • Questions about your safety and legal options: Be ready to ask about the best steps to protect yourself and your family, as well as what legal actions you should pursue.
  • For the Accused:
    • Details of the allegations: Prepare a detailed account of the incident or allegations against you, including any evidence or witnesses that support your defense.
    • Legal documents: Bring any legal documents you have received, such as a restraining order, criminal charges, or child custody filings.
    • Questions about your defense: Prepare questions about the legal process, possible penalties, and how the lawyer plans to defend your case.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation and provide the best possible legal advice.
