Will has been my lawyer for close to five years now. He navigated my tricky custody case with care and a thoroughness that was unexpected. His is creative, a strategic writer, and very compassionate. I felt well taken care of and am very pleased with the legal results he helped accomplish.

Will Medlin and his group were great to work with for my divorce. I had know idea what I had to do but he was able to teach me about the process, draft up documents for me to review with my ex for us to make changes or additions and then filed everything as needed. All consultations were quick and to the point and I left knowing what I was to expect.

Although it's a little embarrassing to admit, I've been through my fair share of lawyers for the past 17 years. Will has it all. He is reliable, thorough, communicative, knowledgeable, fair, and honest. There ARE good attorneys out there and it's not just about the money for them. When you need someone in your corner who won't give up, you need Will. Will also has a presence about him that commands recognition and respect. He is a force to be reckoned with; just hope he's on your side. Tall, sharp, charming, with a silver tongue.....Will is one of the people that makes you look when he enters a room. He is confident, yet not prideful and smart, yet not obnoxious. Will helped me through a nasty, yet entertaining divorce, and he didn't miss a beat. One of my favorite things about Will isn't just what he knows as an attorney; it's what he doesn't know about you and your case and he's smart enough to know that he doesn't know. During any legal proceeding, an attorney is aided by the information you give them. Will listens and he understands; he makes the connection. His ability to organize and convey this connection, along with inarguable points, is what separates Will from the unfortunate attorney who is against him. Will was never too busy for me and I never felt rushed for time. Will was smart in a time of confusion; confident in a time of doubt; and assuring in a time of hopelessness. Will is the best attorney I've ever known and I wouldn't hesitate to refer him to anyone.

I have used Will several times. In both instances I was extremely satisfied with the service and the price. I hired him for my divorce and alimony case. What I liked most was the fact Will often expressed the pros and cons about a decision I was making regarding the case but still understood it was my decision to make. I never felt like he was condescending or had an elitist attitude like some lawyers possess Also, he gave my case his full attention even though he had a very large workload. I never felt like he was skipping corners or not doing his due diligence because I wasn't a "wealthy client". I have recommended Will services to any one I know who was looking for a lawyer.

Mr. Medlin handled a very acrimonious, long, drawn out separation/divorce lasting years. We ended up going to court when the ex refused to be reasonable on any level. Mediation attempts through the court lasted ten minutes, mediation attempts with the lawyers went nowhere but at no time was that the fault of Mr. Medlin. It was the opposing side that did nothing but attack and yell. He never steered me wrong, I trusted his guidance, he did things as cost effectively as possible. You get what you pay for and his firm is considered in the top 5. It was worth the end result to protect my family. I didn't want a belligerent, nasty, dramatic or inflammatory lawyer. I wanted someone I could trust to protect my children and I. Someone a Judge would respect, that could handle a terrible situation with professionalism and class. Even though friends advised me that I needed a bulldog to survive the ex’s attorney, I could never work with a belligerent/Perry Mason type. There are a lot in Charlotte that use vicious methods. Don't be fooled into thinking you need an attack dog defense with your lawyer yelling in mediation or in the court room. Make no mistake - he is a GREAT trial lawyer, did a wonderful job in the courtroom, knows the law, works with his clients to get to know you and your situation to put forth the best and most ethical case for you. Mr. Medlin has the ability to win, he did for my children and I and did it without losing his cool. I could tell the Judge respected his manner and presentation as well. He could get his point across but never at any time was he unprofessional inside or outside the court room. He doesn't work that way and you need someone level/logical when the rest of your life is illogical during the divorce process. The opposing attorney could have learned from him; they were belligerent, inflammatory, intent on doing nothing but dragging things out. There was never any chance at mediation when the ex’s lawyer did her level best to blow things out of proportion and remained on the attack at all times. Giving her client guidance that in the end cost the ex quite a bit and left no room for any type of relationship between us. That type of behavior doesn't serve anyone in the end for most cases. You should try to settle outside of court, not damage whatever is left of a communicatory relationship with your ex - especially when children are involved. Mr. Medlin managed his client/me with consideration, empathy, but a firm hand. I had legal representation that responded with common sense and a logical approach when things/I got emotional (which in my situation was unavoidable due to the nature of the lawsuit). Mr. Medlin was always available, responsive, I never had to worry that he would ‘miss’ something. He missed nothing. No dates, no facts and knew how to present our case. Mr. Medlin and his staff were very meticulous, even late breaking defense information made it into the trial. I highly recommend his services, you can trust him to listen, work with you, help navigate things to the best resolution for everyone. He will do what he can to keep you out of the courtroom - which says a lot at the end of the day about his integrity as a person not just as an attorney. However, if you end up in litigation you’ll not go wrong having him represent you. I highly trust, recommend and respect his legal expertise and manner.
