My wife's first speeding ticket ever was received when she was driving her Mother to church! Needless to say, she was very upset. Bill Powers team handled the matter within a couple of days, and prevented an increase in our insurance. We will remain grateful for the peace of mind they have provided.

I had an amazing experience working with Campbell & Associates. They kept their word and treated me like a valued client. Our relationship made the process smooth and kept me in the loop. They were able to get me the full amount of my settlement. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great firm to work with.

I was overwhelmed and unable to focus on my day to day responsibilities due to having put myself into really bad debt. The team at Arnold & Smith didn’t judge me or make me feel like I was just another person who had irresponsibly put themselves in a bad situation. I wasn’t just another debt settlement case. I was made to feel like a person they wanted to genuinely help get their life back on track. Shannon, Madison and everyone else at Arnold & Smith were there every step of the way, every question I had, every concern, any stumbles, every creditor call, every debt collector correspondence. I was reassured they would do whatever they could to help me with my debt settlement. If I was ever skeptical this program would work or if they could really help me, that skepticism is gone. You guys are real life heroes. You helped me get my peace of mind and my life back on track. I can’t thank you all enough for what you have done for me and everything you continue to do.

Mrs. Brianne Van Apeldoorn and Misty Waldroup were my lawyer and paralegal. Right from the initial consultation Mrs. Vans Apledoorn explained exactly how she would recommend going about my case and executed it wonderfully when that time finally came. Misty was very quick with responses and continued to keep me up to date with everything and helped me understand what everything meant if needed.
During pre trial she explained things very well and went over everything to get a feel of how the court proceedings will go. She is very friendly and welcoming.
During trial she objected, questioned, and requested with reasoning things being dismissed before even having the chance to be heard. She was prepared for the long and treacherous day which turned into a shorter than expected day due to her attentiveness and organization. She was able to get our motion granted without needing my witnesses to testify.
It was expensive but for the outcome she delivered it was all worth it. For any family custody matters, I will be returning to her and will absolutely recommend her for any family law issues.

I spoke with Mr. Irons and Mr. Albritton this morning and they were very helpful and informative. I felt they were caring and explained things so I could understand the nuances of my potential claim. Just based on this I felt very comfortable and would recommend speaking with them if you need legal help.

Matthew and his tears are PHENOMENAL! I am just finishing up a lengthy divorce that had a lot of complications and when I addressed he was able to tackle them and make things a lot clearer and helped me understand what my rights are. Divorce is painful but with his team, the pain was eased. His rates are very reasonable and he will work within one's budget.
All I can say is Thank you Matthew and Missy with helping me thru this process.

I had to get a custody order written up with the mother of my child, he understood everything I wanted and made recommendations. Smart guy, he knows his stuff. Pays attention to every detail. Answered all my questions effortlessly and took care of all my concerns. 10/10 everyone told me I’d be selling my life away to go to a lawyer. He was very thoughtful with my money and refunded what he didn’t use.

Absolute Scam and Unprofessional Behavior
Jeremy,
I hired you to help with a bogus speeding ticket, where I have clear dash cam footage showing my speed, location, and the officer’s actions before and after the stop. The officer claimed I was going 80 in a 45, wrote the wrong location of the stop, and the speed limit on that road was actually 55. My speedometer was at 61, clearly shown on the dash cam. Yet, you had the nerve to tell me you could “maybe” reduce the ticket to a 14-over, despite knowing the entire ticket was a joke.
After this ridiculous introduction, I called the very next day—over a month before the court date—and requested a refund. Your desk lady assured me I’d get a full refund. But today, I get a call telling me the case was continued (even though I fired you), and now you’re only offering half of my payment back because you “spent 20 minutes” on my case? That’s a load of crap.
Then, to top it off you have the audacity to threaten me with legal action if I dispute this scam through my bank. You’re not even competent enough to handle a simple case like this and now you’re acting like a crook. I honestly feel bad for your firm that you’re so desperate for this money, but I’ll be sure to keep on sharing my experience the community.
Keep the half—you clearly need it more than I do.
Shameful.

I’m confident that he will always go above and beyond. Thank you for everything!

Lindsey and her staff helped me navigate a very challenging separation and custody case. We were able to reach settlement for all matters (separation, custody, and equitable distribution), despite several challenges that made staying out of court seem impossible.
Every person at Easterling law met my (many) questions and concerns with compassion and understanding. I never felt like just a number to Lindsey and it is evident to me that she cares deeply about seeing the best outcome for each family she works with.
Tandi at the front desk and Lindsey's paralegals, Debra and Celeste, also went above and beyond answering my questions and ensuring that I understood every document I received (and trust me- there were A LOT of documents in the year long process that I went through).
The staff at Easterling law was there to meet me with kindness and support through every step of an unfortunately tumultuous situation. I'm beyond thankful that I had Lindsey in my corner.

Lindsey is one of the most honest and professional family law attorneys I have come across. She got me through one of the toughest times in my divorce and helped me make some very tough decisions with her honesty and understanding of family law. I had 10 years in the court system (prior to hiring Lindsey) because of a narcissistic ex husband and 2 prior attorneys that didn’t do their job well. Lindsey was able to finalize everything once and for all and protected me from further legal action with my ex husband. I always refer Lindsey to anyone I know that is looking for a divorce or family law attorney!

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.

Integrity, professional, responsive and fair !! I could not give a higher recommendation for Rik Lovett. His ethical approach to a difficult job when you are dealing with the most trying of times was impeccable. He was always up-front in discussing the realities of divorce and constantly kept the ultimate goals of the case in focus. Rik's paralegals are also top-notch in assisting with your case. The fee structure was fair, and the expertise and experience Rik provides is invaluable. I found Rik extremely easy to communicate with. Look as much as you like, but you would be hard pressed to find his equal.

Hired him for an Expungement, $1000 and 2 years later has done nothing and won't respond in any form email, call, text, voicemail. I've seen him at the gym and he tells me to text him and he'll make it right!! I'm an ECU graduate Magna Cum Laude on May 5th 23. 7 years clean and sober on 5-8-24, I have turned my life around & need help & he has treated me horribly as like he cares less. I'm baffled that he has done absolutely nothing for me. He certainly isn't a Christian or a God fearing man that's for sure.

Hi, I am going through a very long drawn out divorce and custody battle with my ex wife regarding our 7 year old daughter. I hired a local attorney to get thru this. All they did was take my money and continue the case for about 2 years. I was at my wits end and had no idea what to do. I done someresearch and talked to a few people and Greg Duke was recommended. I had a consultation with him and I knew from the way he talked he was the one so I scrapped together the money and hired him on the spot. Mr Duke done his research on my previous court cases and compiled all the information into several binders that looked to be a foot thick each. For the next 9 or 10 months , I felt like he went above and beyond with my case. He sent me endless texts and emails to keep me updated on what was going on even on Sundays. When it come court time he was as prepared as a boy scout. We still don't know the out come of the case because of all the information the judge had to go thru, but you can bet whatever it is Mr. Duke gave it his all and I am thoroughly satitisefied with the job he done. At all times he was professional and he knew the law sometimes I think better than the judge. I hope I never have to go to court ever again, but you can bet if I do I'm going looking for Greg Duke again as long as he'd represent me. He has even gone as far to touch base with me after the case and see how I'm doing. That in itself meant alot. Thank you Greg Duke, you are the man.

I cannot verbalize just how thankful my family & I are to have Mr. Duke on our side as an attorney. Mr. Duke is not only a phenomenal attorney but first and foremost he is an exceptional caring, compassionate, genuine, thoughtful and honest human being in whom we now consider a friend of our family. After hiring Mr. Duke in just six months, we were finally able to settle an almost 3 year long on going divorce case. Mr. Duke, demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, expertise and dedication throughout the entire process. Mr. Duke not only achieved a favorable result for me, but alleviated much of the stress that comes with all the legal matters. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Duke to anyone in need of legal representation in the area. I believe Mr. Duke is by far one of the best attorneys we are blessed to have in North Carolina. I would give him an infinite amount of stars for a rating, if I could! Mr. Duke truly desires the best interest for all of his clients. I am incredibly thankful and grateful for his exceptional work.

Mr. Duke is very professional. He guided us on ways to help the other side see that we were seeking a fair distribution. He also gave evidence to the other side to prove that their client was not truthful & were dishonest. He is reasonably priced & we would highly recommend him.

Richard and his team really listened to try and understand my situation early on which was huge for me. They worked diligently to ensure that I was awarded 50/50 custody of my children which was my main goal in contacting his firm. If you are in need of an divorce attorney, I’d highly recommend giving Richard a call!

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
- Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
- Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
- Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.
Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.
What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?
A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:
- Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
- Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
- Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
- Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
- Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
- Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.
How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.
How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:
- Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
- Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
