Comprehensive estate planning is neither fun, nor cheap. That said, redoing this after 20 years was remarkable in comparison both in price and thoroughness. Extensive time spent understanding our family, finances, investments, wishes, plans and financial philosophy took place before beginning a rework of our entire estate plan. Wills, POAs, contracts, healthcare delineations, trusts and titles were reviewed and improved. All this was done with extensive them providing direct communication with our two separate finance managers and our accountant. The detail of this process and end result made the value of this time with them a bargain.

I recently hired A. Patrick Roberts as my lawyer, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of my case. He represented me in a domestic violence accusation, and thanks to his exceptional skills, my case was dismissed. From our first meeting, Patrick impressed me with his thorough understanding of the law and his strategic approach to my case. He not only provided clear and practical legal advice but also employed smart strategies that were beyond my expectations. His attention to detail and dedication to my defense made all the difference. If you're looking for a lawyer who truly cares about his clients and knows how to navigate complex legal situations, I highly recommend A. Patrick Roberts. He is an outstanding lawyer, and I am incredibly grateful for his support.

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr.Patrick Roberts, from the moment we connected via the telephone he demonstrated, confidence, support, and a great analytical mind, which provided my family with much-needed support during one of the most difficult periods in our lives. Mr. Roberts, took the time to understand our situation, he ran through various scenarios on how he thought he could win our case, which he did! What sets Mr. Roberts apart is his legal expertise, in-depth knowledge of the judicial procedure, and genuine compassion and commitment to you as a client. He truly cares about his clients, he goes above and beyond to ensure your needs are met, I am incredibly grateful for Mr. Roberts and highly recommend his service to anyone needing legal representation. Thank you for being you and doing the outstanding work you do. Keep up the good and noble work you do Mr. Roberts!

Mr. Cloninger met with my son and helped us with a driving matter. He was true to his word (yes that still exists!). He charged a fair price. Probably more than fair to be honest. He let us know what to expect and answered my questions along the way. Hate to have to need an Atty but will use him again when the time arises. I am a fan. Also only Atty I have ever found with 100% positive feedback. Hire him!

I had the opportunity one day to speak to Richard in passing. Not knowing that Richard was a divorce lawyer, I asked if he knew a divorce lawyer. Richard informed me that he was in fact a divorce lawyer. After a brief conversation, I hired Richard to handle my divorce. Richard was thorough in explaining the divorce procedure as well as mine and my soon to be ex wife's roll in these procedures. Richard was timely in returning my calls or emails. As well as taking the time to address each of my questions and making sure I fully understood the response. Richard made this stressful process as easy as possible.

I hate that I will have to opt out of having her represent me in this matter due to circumstances out of our control. So happy for even just the consult and words of sympathy and understanding. But if I ever need an AWESOME attorney in the future (God forbid unless it’s something minor) or if I have to give a referral.... Ms. Parthia and her colleagues will be 1st on my list.

Mr. Vidunas is very knowledgeable in civil cases, he is very polite, understanding, and explained in details how we would proceed. While I was going through medical treatment, he demonstrated a genuine interest in my well-being by regularly calling me. After the treatment was completed and it was time to contact the insurance, he successfully negotiated the best settlement for me!

Ms. Taylor was recommended to me by another attorney because she specializes in family and domestic law. In brief I will say that she is efficient and knowledgeable. I didn't have any questions she couldn't answer; she had all the information in her head. In addition to all this she was very empathetic about my/our situation, and I felt good about hiring her. It was obvious very quickly into our first conversation that I was not just another payday for her. That meant a lot. I highly recommend her.

Anytime you have to hire an attorney you are already stressed but in my situation, I was beyond that point. My 14 and 16 year old granddaughters had been living in a less than ideal household for the past 6 years but in NC grandparents do not have any legal rights to their grandchildren. I was 6 years into a waiting game, then a incident happened with the 16 year old. I called Austen on a Tuesday, met with him on Wednesday afternoon and on Thursday had emergency custody of my granddaughters. Since then, we have been to court and I now have permanent custody. I made the best decision in hiring Austen Jud. He made sure he was there when I needed him, he kept me informed of what he was doing and what he needed from me. He knew how sensitive my situation was and had my granddaughters best interest at heart during the most difficult time of our lives. I made the right choice in hiring Austen Jud.

After finding myself in active addiction, I had made some poor decisions and found myself in legal issues. Therefore I wanted a better life and sought treatment. My largest challenge was felony and misdemeanor charges for my questionable behavior. I learned of Kerri’s hardworking efforts in the addiction arena through her advocation of the drug court in Forsyth county. A person assisting me with my recovery directed me to her. She listened with a caring ear and passed no judgement on me. She understood my bad decisions were motivated by my addiction. She represented me to the court as a human being that was seeking assistance to be the great person I was intended to be. She understood their were consequences for my actions and pled to the court that my consequences would be proactive, effective, and assistive in me bettering myself. Her explanation of my character and the person I truly am encouraged the court to hand down a lesser charge and lesser sentence. Understanding the length of time it takes to recover from active addiction she went one step further. She pleaded to the court and recommended that part of my consequences for my behavior would be to be legally responsible to complete my treatment program. I had never had the experience of an attorney treating me as a human being and expressing my value as a person to the court. The fact that she went above and beyond and recommended to the court to hold me legally responsible to complete my treatment demonstrated to me that she really cared about me. This was but a glimpse although a large hurdle of one of the challenges I faced in my early active recovery. Kerri’s action and compassion have assisted me in being a person in long term recovery. Ms. Sigler is not just an attorney she is a humanitarian. To this day she still reaches out to me after the case has been closed and I have completed my legal obligations. I would only pray that other representatives of the legal system follow her lead. My gratitude and thankfulness could never be expressed enough. Thank you Kerri.

As a person that had never been into a courtroom, Kerri Sigler helped me immediately adjust to the atmosphere. Her confidence spilled over into me making each courtroom visit easier. She always responded to my messages during the process. She was firm and straightforward with me. I knew what she expected of me as her client and she took the time to listen to me. There was no guessing or trying to figure out what kind of lawyer I had, she is the best and I knew that from the start. I never had to search or make phone calls to her on court days as I had seen other people do. She was always present when my case became before the court. She was always prepared and new what was important. I couldn't help but notice her mingling with the other Attorneys in the courtroom. Kerri Sigler is well respected amongst her counterparts. I would recommend her to everyone. I could not have had a better Lawyer representing me. If it had not been for Kerri, my first courtroom experience could have been more intimidating and I may not even have won my case. Thanks to her I have not only the victory but confidence that I will take forth from this life experience. I am forever greatful to Kerri Sigler.

I couldn't have asked for a more dedicated attorney if I had picked one myself. I highly recommend contacting her if you are in the need for an attorney in the areas of her expertise. I can not say enough about how her confidence calmed my nerves through one of the worst experiences of my life.

My family hired Scott Rosenberg to help with a felony charge against a family member. Before retaining his help, he sat us down and listened to the facts of the case as we knew them. Then, he was very honest and open about what could and could not happen with regards to the case. He did not paint too rosy a picture nor did he sugar-coat what he was capable of doing. He was very honest with how he felt he could help. As the case progressed, he continued to keep us updated with emails and phone calls. He would ask for information/documents as well which we sent via email (very convenient). He attended each court date with us. As a result, the person charged with the crime never had to address the court personally other than to say "Rosenberg" one time when asked who represented him. This took a lot of stress off of us. He has a great relationship with the courts in Gaston County and is well-respected. I think he actually worked for the county at one point. As a result of his work on our case, we were very pleased with the outcome he helped us achieve. I would highly recommend Mr. Rosenberg to be hired for legal representation.

Mr. Rosenberg is an honest, highly skilled attorney. He kept us informed at all times of what was going on in our case, all of our options, and his recommendations/plans. He promptly responded to all of our communications. He quoted us a very reasonable price to begin with and then did not go above that even when additional time (and an additional court date) was needed. Mr. Rosenberg does not play the kind of "dirty games" that many attorneys play and he does not fabricate or stretch the truth simply to win a case. It's very unfortunate that there are not more attorneys out there like Mr. Rosenberg.

After meeting with several other attorneys to pursue adoption of my granddaughter, I met with Jamie Hester. Right away, I felt very comfortable and knew she was the right attorney for me. She is an exceptional person in the field of family law as she seems to really care about you and your family as individuals and not just a “case”. Jamie wanted to meet my granddaughter and they both felt very much at ease with each other. I wanted this adoption done quickly and Jamie worked diligently to get it done within my time frame. The office staff are all very helpful, friendly, and professional and I felt her fees were very reasonable. I’ve dealt with other attorneys in the past and this was, by far, the most pleasant experience I’ve ever had.

I hired Matt Godwin around September of 2020 for about 11 citations that were 10 years old. I had acquired these tickets when I was young and naïve and have had my license suspended SINCE then. I finally was able to save up enough money to hire Mr. Godwin and I choose this firm because I knew someone that used the law firm back in 2010-2011 when I lived there. He was very reasonable with pricing and even let me break my payment up into two. He immediately got to working on my case for me and the case was settled and ALL cases DISMISSED after about 2 months. The only reason why they even took THAT long was because the Trooper had the court date rescheduled. Mr Godwin I feel, really fought for me. I an in recovery and am coming up on 2 year sober. I got pregnant at 8 months sober and was about 8 1/2 months pregnant when I finally hired Mr. Godwin. He was very sympathetic to my situation and understood that I had come a long way from where I was when I got those tickets and that DWI to the person that I am today when he spoke to me. I also explained that I now live in Florida at a maternity home and that I just really need to get this taken care of so that I can acquire a car so I can have a safe way for me to get to work and to be able to take my son anywhere that he needs to go. This license was very important to me and something that I had been trying to work on getting for the last 10 years. Mr. Godwin understood all of that and he was willing to fight for me, and fight for me he did. Because of Mr. Godwin's understanding an compassion he was able to successfully help me reach the goal of getting my license back. I am enterically grateful for him and plan on using him to expunge my record as well. Mr. Godwin is one of the most respectful, kind, down to earth lawyers there is out there. If you have a case that really needs to be settled please choose Crowe Law Firm! they are AMAZING!

I was arrested for DUI March of 2018. During that time I acted foolishly verbally assaulted the arresting officer. I behaved carelessly and my case prognosis was dire to say the least. I was looking at my first DUI with what the prosecutor called an open and shut case with imminent conviction. There were some things that happened between the officer and I that I would say caused me to be super aggressive with the officer. Mr. Godwin told me to let him handle this....And handle it he did. I was in court for the 6th time 4 hour drive there and back. This time I was waiting for my turn to be judged. Mr. Godwin told me he was going to try and get the case pushed back to a later date. The arresting officer was there ready to testify. My stomach was in knots. It was getting close to lunch and walked up to me and told me that we would be on after lunch. Then I noticed He was going into another room with the arresting officer. It was clear he was working his magic. He walked up to the Prosecutor leaned in and spoke to him. Iam not sure what he said but He immediately walked towards me and motioned for me to go outside the court room. He extended his hand and told me the case was dismissed. I grabbed him and hugged him tightly. I felt a huge burden lifted from me. The best decision I made was hiring Mr. Godwin. He is patient and waits until things are lined up in his favor, He kept postponing until he had the advantage and when it lined up right he pounced. I believe he is unbeatable. of all the times I went to court he just kept successfully defending his clients. He is amazing, I owe him . He saved my career. God Bless You Mr. Godwin.

I could not be more pleased with my experience in hiring Matt Godwin as my attorney. I was charged with DWI (.09) and believed I was looking at a surefire conviction. I was dreading giving up my license, paying a lot of money, and dealing with other DWI pitfalls. BUT, along the way, I was referred to Matt. He listened to my circumstances and quickly determined a course of action that ultimately was successful in finding me 'not guilty'. The key was Matt's experience in the courtroom. He is an expert in optimizing your chances. Matt is very professional and is backed up by a great staff at Crowe Law Firm to guide you through the whole ordeal.

I purchased a car from a Northern VA dealer. During discussions w/the sales personnel two issues came up that they said would result in price adjustments. When presented w/the sales document which was filled out completely by the dealer's accountant I thought the final amount reflected what the dealer's sales personnel had agreed. I paid the bottom line amount requested by the dealer. Three weeks later I received a telcon from the dealer's accountant stating that they had made a mistake and wanted more money to compensate for their mistake. I said no, and then wrote an email stating what I saw, as my position including compensation that I believed their sales personnel had agree as compensation. The dealers response was to demand payment. I responded w/another email. After 3 months of this type of exchanges I called a friend and asked for a recommendation of an attorney in the Winston Salem area and was given Jeremy Foltz's name who I then contacted. Then two days later I received a letter from the Lawyer representing the car dealer. I forwarded the letter to Jeremy who in a lawyer to lawyer exchange was able to settle on, what I considered to be, a fair and equatable solution. This solution would not have occurred without the intervention of Jeremy. Would I hire him again--Absolutely!

While Mr. Ziolkowski is a young (ish) lawyer, he is very professional. My case was handled very well. In addition, I felt like Mr. Ziolkowski was a very decent human being who wasn't in it just for the money. He listened and he cared and my wife and I are grateful for that.

I hired Mr. Clark to take care of my child custody agreement. He so easy to work with. I could definitely tell he was an attorney that was going to get the job done without putting things off over and over. We came up with a plan and Mr Clark put it in place. He spoke to my ex on my behalf so that I didnt have to argue that back and forth. I also like that he's reasonable and tries to get things done without having to go to court. But, can also play hardball. Him and his staff are so friendly and are always available when I need them.

Holden Clark has been my attorney for about 1 year. I retained Mr Clark to handle a lawsuit against my business that I thought was relatively simple, but has proven more complicated than I thought. My company is located out of state & Mr Clark has put 1000% into my case. He has been outstanding in listening to my concerns & explaining everything to me. I could not be more pleased with his representation & recommend him without reservation.

From the onset of the consultation with Sydney, I knew she was the right lawyer for my case. During the consultation she directly addressed all of the questions I had and thoroughly went through the details of the case with me. Once I retained her as my attorney, she crafted the best possible legal strategy for my case. While preparing for court, Sydney made sure all of my concerns were properly addressed and her years of experience were evident with the plethora of knowledge she has under her belt. She is someone you can trust to advocate for you and to work hard to get you the best possible outcome. I received the outcome I was hoping for in court and I am pleased that I chose the perfect lawyer for my case!

Courtney was my lawyer and she was extremely professional, very attentive, treated my like I was family, and took care of my case with excellent results. Courtney was on top of everything, kept in contact with me and checked on me throughout my entire case. Courtney had my best interest at heart, which was very comforting (as nobody likes to deal with legal issues.) I would DEFINTELY recommend Courtney Neal to any and all of my family and friends. Top notch service!!! Thanks again Ms. Neal for all your help.

Continued trespass, harassment and property damage by a neighbor ultimately escalated to a point of confrontation in which I was assaulted. In response, I summoned local police and brought an assault charge against the offender. In retaliation, the neighbor later made false claims & brought a baseless charge against me. The ensuing case caused substantial anxiety over the potential consequences as they would affect me legally, socially & financially. Hiring attorney Kevin Boxberger was the best decision that I could have made. His professional confidence and obvious legal acumen quickly put me at ease. Mr. Boxberger reliably returned my calls, patiently answered all of my questions, articulated thoughtful legal strategies, and always kept me apprised of any progress made in my case. Kevin (and his top-notch staff) remained self-motivated throughout and outworked the opposition in every manner. I'm eternally grateful to Kevin and his staff for managing the optimal legal result: having my charge dismissed outright!

Missy represented me in a white collar federal case. She made me feel very comfortable from the beginning and made sure that this conviction had "as little impact as on your life as possible," in her words. Whenever I called to speak with her, she would speak with me immediately and inform me of what was going on, and if she wasn't in the office then she would come to the jail personally to see me. In the event that she just could not make it, another attorney from the firm would come see me. She carefully reviewed my case with the intention of taking it to trial even though I knew that would not ultimately happen. With the exception of hardened criminals, being persecuted by the federal government is a very stressful situation, and it is important that you find an attorney that truly care about your case and about what happens to you. Professional, caring, attentive, intelligent and thorough, Missy Owen is all of these things.

My name is Tim, me and ms stowers had been working on a very long and tedious case. She hands down, had all the knowledge and experience. If she didn’t know an answer she would find it usually in the same day. Start to finish I would go back to her tommorow if I needed to. An amazing attorney. And thanks again for all your help.

What a Juvenile Law Lawyer Can Do for You

A juvenile law lawyer specializes in legal issues involving minors, including those facing criminal charges, child welfare matters, or status offenses (like truancy or curfew violations). Juvenile law lawyers aim to protect the rights of minors and advocate for rehabilitation rather than punishment in criminal cases. They also help families navigate child custody, abuse, neglect cases, and other legal matters involving children.

If your child is facing criminal charges, or you are involved in a child welfare case, a juvenile law lawyer can help protect your child’s rights and work toward the most favorable outcome.

When Should I Hire a Juvenile Law Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a juvenile law lawyer in the following situations where minors are involved in legal matters:

  • Juvenile criminal charges: If your child is accused of a crime, such as theft, assault, or drug offenses, a juvenile lawyer can represent them in juvenile court, advocating for leniency and alternatives to detention.
  • Delinquency proceedings: A lawyer can help navigate delinquency charges, defending your child’s rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes like counseling, probation, or diversion programs instead of incarceration.
  • Status offenses: If your child has committed a status offense, such as truancy, running away, or underage drinking, a lawyer can help you resolve these issues in juvenile court, often focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
  • School disciplinary issues: If your child is facing school suspensions, expulsions, or other disciplinary actions, a lawyer can help protect their educational rights and challenge any unfair or unlawful school policies.
  • Child protective services (CPS) investigations: If your family is being investigated by CPS for alleged abuse, neglect, or dependency, a lawyer can represent you and protect your child’s rights throughout the investigation.
  • Custody disputes: A lawyer can help in cases involving child custody or guardianship disputes, ensuring the child’s best interests are prioritized and advocating for the child’s rights.
  • Emancipation: If your child seeks legal emancipation from their parents or guardians, a lawyer can assist in navigating the legal process and help the child understand their rights and responsibilities.

Hiring a lawyer early in the legal process ensures that your child’s rights are protected and that the best possible outcomes are pursued.

What Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Do?

A juvenile law lawyer provides various services to help minors and their families navigate the legal system. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Representing minors in court: A lawyer will represent your child in juvenile court, advocating for their rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes rather than punitive measures.
  • Filing motions and legal paperwork: The lawyer handles all necessary legal filings, including petitions, responses, and motions to dismiss charges or suppress evidence.
  • Negotiating with prosecutors: In some cases, a lawyer can negotiate plea deals or diversion programs that prevent the child from having a permanent criminal record or serving time in detention.
  • Advising on rehabilitation programs: Juvenile law lawyers often focus on alternatives to incarceration, such as counseling, community service, or probation, helping minors avoid long-term legal consequences.
  • Handling CPS and child welfare cases: If your family is involved in a CPS investigation or child welfare case, the lawyer can advocate for your child’s safety and well-being, ensuring that their rights are upheld.
  • Defending minors against school discipline: A lawyer can help challenge unfair or excessive disciplinary actions taken by schools, ensuring that your child’s educational rights are protected.
  • Advising families on legal options: A lawyer will explain the juvenile legal process to families, offering advice on the best legal strategies and what to expect during the case.

How Are Juvenile Law Lawyers Paid?

Juvenile law lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many juvenile law lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Flat fee: For simpler cases, such as status offenses or school disciplinary hearings, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all legal services related to the case.
  • Retainer: In more complex cases, such as defending against serious criminal charges or handling a long-term CPS investigation, a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as they work on the case.
  • Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some juvenile law lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or may provide pro bono (free) services for families who cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially in cases involving child welfare or delinquency.

Discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to understand the total cost and payment options.

How Much Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a juvenile law lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the time involved. General cost estimates include:

  • Juvenile criminal cases: Legal fees for defending a minor in juvenile criminal cases can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the severity of the charges and whether the case goes to trial.
  • Status offenses: For cases involving minor offenses such as truancy or underage drinking, legal fees typically range from $1,500 to $5,000.
  • CPS or child welfare cases: Legal fees for representing families in CPS investigations or child welfare cases can range from $2,000 to $8,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
  • School disciplinary hearings: Legal fees for representing students in school-related issues may range from $1,000 to $3,500, depending on the legal work required.

Make sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure you understand the full scope of fees and services.

Top Questions to Ask a Juvenile Law Lawyer

Before hiring a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your child’s case effectively. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with juvenile law cases?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s juvenile delinquency, child custody, or CPS investigations.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer. Ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my child’s case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of the case, including potential challenges and likely outcomes.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Juvenile cases can vary in duration, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors might affect the timeline.
  5. Will you personally handle my child’s case?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing the case and representing your child in court.
  6. What rights does my child have?
    Ask the lawyer to explain your child’s legal rights, including their rights during police questioning, school disciplinary actions, and court proceedings.

How to Check the Credibility of a Juvenile Law Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable juvenile law lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for juvenile law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in juvenile law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate in juvenile cases.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on juvenile law matters.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Look for memberships in organizations like the National Juvenile Defender Center (NJDC) or certifications in juvenile law, which can indicate a lawyer’s dedication to representing minors.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

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

  • Court documents: Bring any legal documents related to your child’s case, such as summons, complaints, or court orders.
  • School records: Provide any relevant school records, including disciplinary reports, attendance records, and communications from school officials.
  • CPS or investigation reports: If your case involves child welfare, bring any reports or documentation from CPS or other investigating agencies.
  • Timeline of events: Prepare a detailed timeline of events related to your child’s legal issue, including interactions with authorities or school officials.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the legal process, your child’s rights, and potential outcomes for the case.

Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your child’s situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your needs.
