Clifford law firm was to represent my son in 2 counties both wake and sampson. He showed up once in wake none in sampson after being paid to be my son's rep. I would not hear from him nor my daughter in law would see him attend to business. The man mumbles and I could not understand most of what he was saying even though he was apprised I am hard of hearing. 20 months and nothing he said he would do was done. I even hesitate to give one star he deserves none.

Nick is a fantastic and personable lawyer. He went above and beyond to help me with my case. Even after I didn't complete everything I was suppose to, he stuck through and helped me get more time. I'm very grateful that I hired him as my attorney and would highly recommend him to anyone.

I do not recommend this law firm for personal injury or any other matters. They don't communicate well and take weeks to do the simplest of tasks. They make you feel like you're not smart enough to understand legal jargon. I don't feel like they care about me and my outcome at all but keep giving excuses to push me aside for another few months. They didn't even notify me when my attorney and paralegal left the firm and gave me no one to contact.

I can't say enough how this law firm blessed me and my family. From day one when I called them they wasn't just concerned about the problem but also my entire family well being. They worked so hard for me and my family and made sure they could get us as much as we possibly deserved. Over the year they stayed in constant communication making sure we was aware of everything going on in the case. My daughter literally came in this world fighting for her life and they continued the fight for her. I can never say thank you enough. I personally feel like my attorney became our family as well. Pleaseeee if your considering using this law firm don't HESITATE!! You will be in great hands for sure. To my attorney Kristen you are heaven sent NEVER FORGET IT because we will NEVER FORGET YOU ! :)

Matthew Minikus is an educated and experienced attorney, but what sets him apart is his passion and ability to fight in the courtroom. He was focused and confident as he presented my case, skillfully interviewed witnesses, and quickly objected to unfair statements. We were successful because of this but even more importantly is that he put in the work.
We went to court four times, and each time he took me into a private room to thoroughly review the case. He examined it from every angle, over and over, until we developed a strong, truthful argument to present to the judge. In stark contrast, other attorneys simply waved to their clients, had a brief chat, and then spent the rest of their time socializing until their cases were called. It was off putting and sad how some professionals can be so indifferent.
Please remember that if this is something serious don't just assume people are going to do the right thing. Call Matthew and talk to him for 15 minutes. A small amount of time to invest in your future. I'm sure you will be happy.

And if you need an accident attorney please by all means "Call the heavy hitter, they will work to get you more".

I called for help with accident/injury and criminal defense from an ad. When I spoke with someone from the criminal defense team they were rude and unprofessional. Also the "help" I received was clearly from a Google search and also largely inapplicable.
I understand that consultation exists for a reason but so does professionalism.

It is with great regret that I am leaving a bad review. I was hopeful that he would serve me well based on our initial conversation, however he did not. My case is drug related and on his website it states he has 30 years of experience with drug cases but if you ask around… he’s a traffic lawyer. My vehicle, money, and phones were confiscated and he all but told me I wouldn’t get my car back until after my case was settled but my current lawyer filed a motion and got it back within days. I was told my money would not be returned but again my current lawyer advised me that with proper proof a judge wouldn’t refuse giving back my money(my case is on going will update on how that goes). I essentially paid $3,500 of which I was refunded $1250, for him to appear at court one time and respond to 2 portal messages. After receiving better counsel I feel I have been completely ripped off and will probably be reporting my grievances to the BAR. I don’t know if he was just keeping my expectations low so that he can later over exceed them or if I’m just making excuses for him at this point but I’m really disappointed with his counsel and glad I switched before it was too late.

This is the right law firm. One star. Really hurting someone. She is their client and it’s hard to watch. I pray they do the right thing, this is a horrible situation to be a part of not be able to help, I pray these attorneys will change their ways and decide to do the right thing. Watching a loved one suffer over the holidays (or anytime) from choosing the wrong attorneys is a nightmare. I pray day and night these attorneys will see the light and not cause any more suffering. I am watching a loved one who is a “current or former client”. She is someone who is dear to my heart and being harmed tremendously by your choice of behavior. She won’t write her own review but is so terrified and hurt she can barely get out of bed most days for the last two weeks strictly on account of your choices. I’m sure she will write a review of this path you have chosen continues, but she is too scared to speak up and you need to stop what you have chosen to do to your client. Don’t make excuses replying to google review as I can easily delete this, when what you should be doing is what’s right towards a human’s life. She trusted you. Replying to this with an excuse or any response will only serve to show people you care more about your appearance than helping your client. I hope today is the last day I pray you two do what is right.
I am 87 years old I would like to live long enough to see my goddaughter is not treated worse in this world as a woman than what I have known for most of my life. YOU ARE WOMEN, DO WHAT’S RIGHT!

John McKnight was the worst divorce lawyer one could ask for. Completely took advantage of someone in the wrong state of mind. Ripped us off for $7500. John said that we would pay a set fee of 5,000 for separation through divorce if both parties were agreeable. He mentioned 7500 for a retainer in case things became disagreeable. He charged 7500, we met one time, and were agreeable on everything. We went back to him 1 year later for the divorce and he said we did not have any more time left and refused to help. Reporting him to the BBB, for him being a scam artist.

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 put my 17 y.o. son in a group home thinking it would be in his best interest and it turned into a nightmare. He was seriously burned (1st, 2nd and in some areas possibly 3rd degree) over his shoulder and back, inches from his face. There was a thorough investigation, staff was arrested and charged, but no one confessed and my son couldn't tell me what happened or who did it. So, the group home took the stance that this incident did not happen on their watch at their group home. Despite some documented reports and other obvious information regarding this case, the owners and manager of this group home decided to flat out deny that they were responsible in any way for my son's injuries. Needless to say, this was a complicated case. I learned quickly that most attorneys prefer to avoid such cases, but Jay Mills was very willing to help and I will always be grateful. It was important to me that the owners and manager of this group home did not get to walk away from this incident without experiencing some repercussions for being the sort of people that would do this monstrous act and deny it. Jay Mills supported my need to advocate for my son and guided me through this very difficult ordeal including the legal process of a civil law suit. I highly recommend Jay.

I could not speak more highly of Jay.

Jay Mills is a truly outstanding attorney and I couldn’t be more satisfied with his legal representation. He represented me through a complex and unique personal injury case with multiple defendants and put me in the best position to win a favorable outcome. The legal process can be long and stressful, but he made sure I was well prepared for every step along the way. He was always personable, responsive to my questions, and always listened to my concerns. When it comes time to settle a claim, there is no-one else I’d rather have on my side. He thinks through every scenario imaginable and will prove that he is the most prepared attorney in the room.

The “only secretary of the office” as she said herself is extremely rude and dismissive. She told me because of their workload the office will only respond via letters no information on the phone. When i asked the lady her name she tells me she doesn’t have to give me that information and that she is the only secretary of the office. I told her how can she be employed in an office and speak to customers in such a tone yet not want to state her name? When I asked to speak to her supervisor she said it was Allen Dubois but he was not there. I told her I will be making a complaint on her attitude and she hung up on me. Someone needs to fire this lady because why are you even employed if you don’t want to give your name or any information to the community seeking assistance from your office?
Quit your job girl clearly you don’t care for it!

Daniel fails to zealously fight for his clients. Promises are made without any follow through or action on his part. He routinely failed to know and apply the law and went completely against client requests and refused to provide exculpatory evidence. He was not prepared at court hearings and his egregious disregard to perform his duties as an attorney cost us greatly and has led to severe long term harm.

Although I wasn’t a client of Bob Crawford, I had the opportunity to consult with him regarding an employment matter, and I was thoroughly impressed. Bob was incredibly responsive, transparent, and patient in answering all of my questions, even though he wasn’t formally representing me. His professionalism and willingness to provide guidance in such a compassionate way really stood out. It’s rare to find an attorney who shows such care and dedication to helping others, even outside of a formal client relationship. I highly recommend Bob Crawford for anyone seeking legal expertise in employment matters. Five stars without hesitation!

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.
