I recently went through a life-threatening situation and needed professional help. Melissa was recommended as a highly experienced lawyer, which I cannot deny. However, our first impression of her was not what we expected. We were greeted by the front desk lady and she was very kind and offered us water. She then told us Melissa was ready for us. When we walked in, she told us she had to fill out some things with another person before our consult (we arrived early) so we told her it was fine. Once done, she did not even introduce herself or even asked how we were doing. Although I understand it is a timed consult, I believe she should have at least greeted me (the client), my dad and sister. Being that I am young and it is my first time dealing with legal procedures, I am very naive and she asked for specific papers I did not know about. I had brought other documents that I thought she would want to read but she was not interested in that. I continued with my story and before I could finish it, she cut me off and said she would not represent me. Since we had already paid, we stayed. She was still very nonchalant, but I was able to get a little bit good out of it. I would not recommend Melissa as our first impression of her was unprofessional coming from a lawyer of that caliber, my expectations were high but I was let down by her.

We have received services from Melissa and her team at Averett Family Law since 2021. They have been a god-send to our family. Melissa and her team are professional, patient, supportive and honest! My husband and I appreciate Melissa’s kindness and expertise! We highly recommend their services. You will not be disappointed!!! Thank you Averett Family Law! You have helped keep our family together and we are full of gratitude!

I had the pleasure of working for the Melissa and her team for 2 years. Had I not moved out of NC I would still be working there. Melissa was an excellent boss and teacher. Though at the time i had over 12 years of experience, none of them were in family law. Her and the team took the time to teach me the ins and outs of family law. I moved knowing if I took another position in family law, I would have the knowledge to succeed. I will always appreciate my time with the Averett team!

Great place to work and has dedicated attorneys!

EXTREMELY TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT!!!

I never thought I would end up divorced, Melissa and team made it as painless as possible. Took me through each step. Huge shout out to staff! Became like my second Family.

Austin is a very honest and trustworthy Attorney. Him and his team have made my experiences through a terrible divorce become a breeze in the process of finding a light at the end of the tunnel. He is someone I would turn to for legal advice and he goes the extra mile to make you feel more than just a client. He genuinely cares. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great family attorney.

Attorney was thoroughly professional and very knowledgeable about the relevant topic.

Averett Family Law was the best decision I made going into a really difficult time in my life and I will always be thankful for them. They are committed to their clients 100% and have the ability to mediate and litigate for the best outcome. You will love your decision!

Melissa and her staff have been so supportive of both my business and nonprofit. The advice has been welcome and useful, and always something I couldn't have thought of myself. THANK YOU!

My husband and I were so very pleased with our experience @ Averett Family Law. We were welcomed by all the staff and were treated with patience and kindness. Their expertise in helping us with our estate planning took away a lot of the stress and left us feeling well taken care of. We appreciate their dedication to excellence.

Empathy and Professionalism …
