I was involved in a very serious automobile accident that has required me to have 10 surgeries up to now. If it would not of been for Jeannette and her associates , I don't know what my family and I would have done or where we would of ended up. The Kid that hit me had Nationwide Insurance and believe me when I tell you, "Nationwide is not on your side" when it comes to doing the right thing. They did everything they could to intimidate me and my family. Nationwide hired the biggest law firm in Raleigh , Jeanette never once backed down and made me feel safe. Her knowledge of the law was very impressive, but what was even more impressive was her work ethic and her compassion for someone that was almost killed by someone that was racing to get home so he and his dad could go fishing. She was constantly on the phone with me and or emailing me. I gave Jeannette the nik name of "King Kong Congdon" because she stood her ground for what was right against one of the biggest insurance companies in the nation. I will never forget the long hours of work she put in. I would get emails from her at 2:30 in the morning. Having her on my side made all the difference in the world.
I unfortunately have been disabled from this accident and have now hired her to help get my Social Security Disability. If anyone is in need of a lawyer that wont B.S. you and will fight for you, then do yourself a favor and call her and find out for yourself.

I moved to NC from NJ, and asked Jeannette to review my existing documents (Living Will, Power of Attorney, Will) to understand if they met all the legal criteria per NC laws. The living will and power of attorney had to be re-done and Jeaannette re-filed these for me. She was helpful, and kept me informed and educated at each step of the way.

Mrs. Congdon helped us prepare for and represented us at a county agency hearing. She also did legal research and preparation for a possible civil law suit and helped us recover funds from the insurance company. In addition, she prepared a will and other documents for my elderly mother. She is an extremely organized person and is excellent at communicating with her clients on a timely basis. I have the highest regard for her abilities and have no hesitation in giving her my highest recommendation.

Hired him to get out of a new construction residential contract after shoddy workmanship by the builder and was getting the run around from them Fred was quick to review the contract and contact and he noted that the contract was not properly ratified by the builder under state law - after a letter went out the builder, we received a full refund of our deposit within 30 days. We will definitely use him in the future! Fred was a true gentleman and very strategic in getting us the best result possible with a minimum amount of time or cost incurred.

We have an ongoing issue. It's complex because there are several parties involve and we're going through a juggling act.
We're waiting on Licensing board investigations but they are delayed and we have no time table as to when they will be finished. Yet the company that caused the issue is trying to push it to court before the investigations are finished and you really don't know what or when you are going to need the attorney. You come up with important decisions where you just need 2 questions answered.
Around here, you call just to try and find an attorney. Most won't even have a conversation long enough to make sure you're comfortable with their experience. No matter what your issue is they tell you they can do it and some even talk about money you can go after but you'll find out it was irrelevant.
These same attorneys are more interested in getting your credit card to get money right away versing making sure they can help you.
I had found one other lawyer on here that dealt with larger issues but he took the time to speak with me and told me what to do and when I needed to bring a lawyer in.
Today is that day so I started my search again. I was so fortunate to find Will DeVore.
Again, he answered several important questions today, advised on what to do next and when to bring him in.
It's so comforting when you get somebody on the phone that's interesting in hearing your problem and concerned about helping you versus hustling you out of your money.
Do yourself a favor, if a lawyer asked you for your credit card to talk to you or schedule an appointment to come in, walk away. Give somebody like Mr. DeVore’s office a call.
The prove they care about doing what’s best for everyone instead of just what’s best for themselves regardless.

Attorney Ron Trimyer, Jr. and his paralegal Casey at the Garner Mast Law Firm were instrumental in helping us with the sale of a piece property which saved us time and aggravation.

Although he may be relatively young, lawyer Ron Trimyer was very professional and smart. He was very knowledgable and quick on his feet at my trial. Prior to it he was readily available , in addition to giving me his phone number and extension, he also gave me his personal email address. A good attorney like him is worth his weight in gold. I've had him for a criminal case, and a speeding ticket, and i have recommended him to my friends for a personal injury and social security matter.

I have been working with Mr. Wenzel for about 15 years and he is a truly exceptional attorney. He is my go to attorney for everything. Mr. Wenzel is a true professional, do yourself a favor and make him your first call. He will get it done. He can handle extremely complicated estates and business transactions all the way down to the "easy" home close. Every time I call him he gets is done exactly correct!
Mr. Wenzel has handled many legal documents and transactions for me, and has delivered perfectly every time. I will share one story in particular that was so over and above exceptional! Keep in mind Mr. Wenzel can handle very complicated transactions but here is an "easy one" it just happens to be my favorite story.
My wife and I were buying our dream house on a lake in North Carolina. I personally made this transaction about as complicated as possible, it may have been the most complicated home purchase in history! Mr. Wenzel got it done, on time, and correctly and we did end up closing. That transaction probably made us $200,000 and it would not have happened without Mr. Wenzel.

We worked with the Armstrongs on our case after a terrible broadside car wreck where a Cable Company vehicle was distracted and ran a red light. Much was stolen from me and my wife. Even though I can't get rid of the pain and emotional trauma from the wreck, both Lamar and The Armstrong Law Firm as a whole were amazing from start to finish.
If you want a firm who has knowledgeable attorneys who will fight for you - the Armstrongs are the ones for you.

We have worked with Charles for over 20 years and he has consistently guided us through challenging transitions. Most memorable was his steady guidance during an emotional contract negotiation. While we were inflamed enough to go to court, Charles had the integrity to talk us through a settlement that, while shorting his fee potential, left our firm on much stronger footing. For that, I recommend none other.

I could not have asked for a better experience or a more professional attorney than Mr Foltz. He did a great job explaining a process that I was unfamiliar with. If you have to go through something legally unpleasant, having the best possible representation makes a huge difference. I don't know how an attorney could do a better job than he did. I can't say enough good about my experience with Mr. Foltz.

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!

Arlene has been a great attorney to work with and I can recommend her services wholeheartedly. She is competent, friendly, knowledgeable in her field and she handled my case well. I was able to get a hold of Arlene quickly as situations arose and she took the time to really explain things when I didn’t understand. Litigation is never pleasant but Arlene helped make a stressful situation much less so.

Ms. Colon helped us with an issue involving my husband's ex-wife. The issue was quickly resolved once she became involved. She was very supportive throughout the process and I felt that what I paid her was reasonable. We have had to involve several attorrneys over the years to help us with issues related to the ex-wife's games. To date, Ms. Colon has been the only one to get any relief for us. Had the case not been moved 3 hrs away, we would have continued to use Ms. Colon, and I'm sure the outcome (of our recent court case) would have been more in our favor.

Ms. Kimberly Lee represented me on short notice for a pressing matter, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. She demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication that I hadn’t experienced with other lawyers. Ms. Lee achieved a favorable result for me, and she alleviated much of the stress that comes with legal matters. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of legal representation in the Beaufort County area. I am incredibly grateful for her exceptional work.

Cory was retained by my company at the time as a result of a buyers agent not properly informing his client of the condition of the property she was purchasing. Cory navigated us through a two year legal battle with these folks that ended most triumphantly in our favor. The communication with Cory and his paralegal, Patty, was almost instantaneous and incredibly informative at all times. We were very pleased with all aspects of the process and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal consult!

I was very impressed with the level of detail that Bryson acquired for our case. We are a construction firm, this was a very complicated claim and for us to be represented by someone that spent the time to "know" about the legal issues, the contract and the construction was a pleasure. His knowledge and courtroom presence won us the settlement, no question in my mind. This case involved almost two years of posturing and preparation before getting to court.

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.

I'm likely one of the pickiest people out there due to past experience handling parental issues with lawyers in other states. 90% of the time, I had to correct mistakes from lawyers with an excellent reputation to lawyers who too late appeared to be missing some brain cells. This was through about four lawyers I hired and fired.
When we moved to Asheville, we searched unsuccessfully for a Trust lawyer some years ago. We gave up until we got a recommendation this year. Our work needed to be done and lawyers tend to make me nervous due to their inadequacies in past encounters.
When we met with Ms. Burt, I tried to trip her on her knowledge (as we did with another lawyer we interviewed and knew we wouldn't go to her as her knowledge was very limited). I was unable to find errors in Ms. Burt's documents. She's extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable. I've already recommended her to friends and I do not take recommending lawyers lightly.

Gary Sue was one of the most knowledgable, helpful and hands on attorney's I've ever dealt with. He took care of my car accident from start to finish without little or no hiccups. Without even dealing with the hassle of being in court litigating; Mr. Sue settled my claim out of court via mediation and we received a sum reward much higher than I expected. I'm not saying Gary Sue is unethical or cuts corners but he assured that I was taken care of. I commend him on the work he does within his profession and would recommend him to anyone within the legal system who is looking for results.

Gary is not only a great attorney but an even better person. He helped me with my case from start to finish and kept me updated with his progress along the way. He is great when conducting a deposition and even better in trial using his assertiveness with other members of the court, swaying jurors with his wit as well as charm and finally though he has lots of work and a large number of clients he treats every client just the same and is great at what he does. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced and brilliant personal injury attorney who has a proven track record for winning. He got me a very large jury verdict award in my car accident law suit.

I would recommend Mr. Parrotte to anyone that need help in the legal system. He treated me with dignity and respect. He explained all my options and never made me feel that I should take any plea that I didn't think I should. I never waiver in my innocence and he stuck with me. I was honest with him and he helped me to the very end. Thankful to have had such a highly professional representative.

I hired Mr. Richard (Rick) Parrotte in June 2016 after spending fifteen months with another lawyer who was unable to move the case to closure. Within four months of taking my case, Rich was able to close the case with a settlement that could have been completed one year earlier.
Rick was forthright, reasonable in cost, answered all my questions, provided clear feedback, direction and was able to take a floundering case and move it to closure within a very short period of time of four months.
I wish my first lawyer had the integrity that Rick presented to me. He kept me informed, did not mislead me, made sure I understood what he was doing, why he was doing it, and explained any options that I need to make.
Rick was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend using him by those of us needing a guide through the maze of our legal system.
I would hire Rick again.

Seth is the best attorney I have had through the course of my divorce and custody cases. From the first time I met him, he was professional, took detailed notes, asked pertinent questions and was highly available. He got my custody case into court quickly and was always more than blunt about the reality of the possible outcomes. He is down to earth, personable, and down to business. And he has a LOT of experience in his field. In one case he actually spent enough time researching law to figure out that the opposing attorney had filed completely improper paperwork against me and the suit against me was dismissed. He is very thorough. I can't say enough nice things about his professionalism. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. He was able to accomplish for me what two prior attorneys in Cabarrus county failed at miserably.

We hired Mr. Bomar for the purposes of reviewing the purchase contract for a medical practice. He was nothing but professional and conscientious in his review of my transaction. He caught many mistakes made on the sellers end and acted quickly and kindly to make sure these were resolved. His background gave him good insight into potential "bumps in the road" that would either cost me lots of money in the future or left a lot of money on the table. Well worth it!

REVIEW / TESTIMONIAL
Mr. Osborn was assigned by the Federal District Court in the Western District of North Carolina to represent me in a thorny case I was involved in under the Court’s pro se settlement program, which was instituted to mediate and settle cases like mine before they go through a full-blown court proceedings. I was very pleased with the program and comforted by the mettle of a sound lawyer and avid negotiator in my corner. I developed a strong sense of trust with Mr. Osborn after our initial phone conversation and a couple of follow up meetings. I was impressed by two things: 1. Mr. Osborn did what he said he will do - from negotiating with my opponents to the mediation and settlement of my case 2. He did it with ease and great rapport that I have never experienced before. If you can get him to say “yes” to negotiate or mediate your case, then you can count on it being done - the right way.

Michelle is highly recommended. She is an incredibly compassionate and understanding attorney. I reached out to Michelle in a panic, and she was extremely prompt with responding to me and got me in that day for a consult with her. Michelle was validating, and I needed that most in a hopeless place.
Even though she was not able to help me with one of my issues due to it being outside of her practice, she connected me with the right help and now I’m represented. I will be keeping Michelle’s contact in my back pocket for her to help me in the future, because I had the best experience I’ve ever had with an attorney. Thank you Michelle!

What a Litigation Lawyer Can Do for You
A litigation lawyer specializes in representing individuals, businesses, or organizations involved in legal disputes. Whether you're the one filing a lawsuit or you're being sued, a litigation attorney will advocate on your behalf throughout the entire legal process. Their goal is to resolve disputes, either through negotiation, settlement, or trial. Litigation lawyers can help with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, real estate issues, employment disputes, personal injury claims, and more.
Litigation lawyers provide strategic legal advice and manage all aspects of your case, from filing motions to representing you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Litigation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a litigation lawyer if you're involved in a legal dispute that you cannot resolve on your own. Common situations include:
- Breach of contract disputes: If a party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations, a litigation lawyer can help you seek damages or enforce the agreement.
- Business disputes: Litigation lawyers can represent you in cases of partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, or business fraud.
- Employment disputes: If you're facing issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, or wage disputes, a litigation lawyer can help resolve these matters through negotiation or court action.
- Personal injury claims: If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a litigation attorney can help you pursue your case.
- Real estate or property disputes: When there are conflicts over property ownership, boundary issues, or lease agreements, a litigation lawyer can assist in resolving the dispute.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is beneficial, especially if a lawsuit seems imminent or you have already been served with legal documents.
What Does a Litigation Lawyer Do?
A litigation lawyer handles all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the trial and even the appeals process, if necessary. Their role includes:
- Case assessment and investigation: Analyzing the facts of your case and advising whether it’s worth pursuing or defending.
- Pleadings and motions: Drafting and filing documents to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, including complaints, motions to dismiss, and answers.
- Discovery: Gathering evidence, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests, to build your case.
- Negotiations and settlement discussions: Attempting to resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or settlement talks before going to trial.
- Trial representation: Presenting your case in court, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and making legal arguments before a judge or jury.
- Appeals: If necessary, filing appeals to challenge or defend the outcome of the trial.
Litigation lawyers are also skilled negotiators and often work to resolve disputes outside of court to save time, money, and stress for their clients.
How Are Litigation Lawyers Paid?
Litigation lawyers typically use a variety of fee structures depending on the type of case, the complexity of the legal matter, and the financial circumstances of the client. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and geographic location.
- Flat fees: For specific, predictable legal tasks (such as filing a motion), lawyers may offer a flat fee.
- Contingency fees: In personal injury or other cases where you seek damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, taking a percentage of the settlement or award if you win.
- Retainer: Some clients pay a retainer fee upfront to secure ongoing legal services. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as work is done.
The exact structure should be discussed in the initial consultation to ensure you understand how and when you'll be charged.
How Much Does a Litigation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of a litigation lawyer varies significantly depending on the nature of the dispute and the lawyer’s experience. Factors affecting the cost include:
- The complexity of the case: More complex litigation involving extensive discovery, expert witnesses, or multi-party suits typically costs more.
- Time spent: Litigation cases can be time-consuming, especially if they go to trial. The longer the case, the higher the legal fees.
- Type of fee arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $200 to over $1,000 per hour, depending on the lawyer’s reputation and location. Contingency fees generally range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award.
- Stage of litigation: Cases that settle early in the process are often less expensive than those that proceed to trial or appeal.
It’s crucial to ask about cost estimates during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.
Top Questions to Ask a Litigation Lawyer
Before hiring a litigation lawyer, it's essential to ask key questions to ensure you're choosing the right representation:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Ensure that the lawyer has experience handling your specific type of dispute, whether it's a contract issue, personal injury, or business matter. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case's strengths, weaknesses, and the likelihood of success. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify how you'll be charged, whether by the hour, a flat fee, or on a contingency basis. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it's hard to predict, an experienced lawyer can give you a rough estimate based on similar cases. -
How often do you settle cases versus going to trial?
Some lawyers are more inclined to settle, while others may be more experienced in the courtroom. It’s important to understand their strategy. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Some lawyers prefer aggressive litigation, while others focus on settlement or mediation. Choose one whose approach aligns with your goals.
How to Check the Credibility of a Litigation Lawyer
To verify a litigation lawyer’s credibility, consider the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Ensure the lawyer is in good standing with the state bar and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and track record.
- Look for litigation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they have handled cases like yours and have a record of success.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer to provide references from past clients who can speak to their effectiveness and approach.
- Research their trial experience: If your case is likely to go to trial, ensure the lawyer has a history of courtroom success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make your first consultation with a litigation lawyer productive, you should prepare the following:
- A clear outline of the dispute: Provide a timeline and key details about the legal issue you're facing.
- Any relevant documents: Bring contracts, emails, letters, or any other documentation that pertains to the case.
- A list of key players: Provide the names of individuals or companies involved in the dispute.
- Questions about fees and the litigation process: Make sure you understand how the lawyer plans to approach your case and how you will be charged.
- Your goals and expectations: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, whether it's a settlement, compensation, or another resolution.
By coming prepared, you can ensure that your initial meeting with the lawyer is both efficient and insightful, giving you a better sense of how to proceed with your case.
