We have been working with Daphne, and her staff, for several months now. Daphne has been worrking on Grandparental us related to a nasty divorce my son is going through in NC. I could not have anticipated better communications and service from Daphne and her staff. Someone is always available to answer my concerns and Daphne always keeps us current on the status of the case and her plans of action. In addition, if I have to leave a message with them, specifically for Daphne, I ALWAYS get a prompt call back. We could not have selected a better firm. We don't wish what my family is going through on anyone but it is great to know that we have Daphne's and her staff leading and guiding us. I highly recommend her and her staff.

I strongly recommend Daphne and Melanie! I've had a very difficult case related to domestic violence, UCCJEA and interstate custody. Daphne was the top of all. Daphne and her team are extremely professional, motivated to really help people, attend each aspect of the case promptly, kind and courteous and most importantly really keep on focus of the needs of the client.

My wife and I made an informed decision earlier this year to go after primary custody of my children from a previous marriage. We researched and chose Daphne and her team based on reviews from multiple sources. Needless to say, the positive reviews have been on point! Unfortunately, our case was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, but Daphne and her team have stayed in continuous contact and made sure they captured our concerns.
Before we made it to the initial hearing, one of my kids had a serious issue which warranted a emergency hearing for custody. Daphne not only responded immediately, but quickly gathered all need information and prepared the case. At this point, Daphne's poise, expertise, and tenacity came to bear in court as we encountered unexpected circumstances. Instead of the judge looking over the order and making a decision, we instead had an impromptu hearing. Daphne's ability to improvise, adapt, and overcome a difficult situation, which we had not fully prepared for, was on full display. She not only helped me stay calm and collected, but used testimony from multiple sources to develop a rock solid case for our side. At the end of the day, her efforts led to a temporary custody win.
Not one to rest on an initial victory, Daphne immediately began developing strategy for the next hearing as soon as we walked outside the courtroom.
I cannot say enough about Daphne's expertise and tenacity, and would not have had the same result with a lesser lawyer. My wife and I highly recommend Daphne to anyone looking for an outstanding family law attorney. She is highly effective, and very open and honest when discussing the case with you. We are extremely happy with our decision and would hire Daphne and her team again with no hesitation!

Divorce is always messy and emotional. No one "wins." Daphne was able to help me navigate the challenges of a divorce with speed and efficiency. I did not get everything that I wanted, but the process was fair and efficient.

I just went through a very difficult separation. Getting to a legal resolution required excellent prep work by Daphne and her team. When we went to mitigation, Daphne and her team were much better prepared than the other side and we were able to negotiate a settlement which was very much in line with my original offer. She kept me closely appraised of all developments along the way. Daphne did an outstanding job and I would highly recommend her to anyone that is going through a separation or divorce.

Daphne was amazing for me. my son's mother took him several states away and I thought it was going to be nearly impossible to get him back. I left her a voicemail on a Saturday and didn't expect to hear anything till Monday at the soonest. to my surprise within an hour of leaving her a voicemail she called me back. threw the entire process of building our case I was devastated but she constantly re assured me that it was going to be ok and she was going to do everything she could to get him back to me. I truly felt that I was in great hands and that she seen and felt the pain I was in. she was amazing swift and efficient at threading threw everything we needed for the case with constant double checking everything especially because of the differences in the 2 states laws. she was always in great contact with me with every step of the way even when I was out of the state to retrieve my son after the emergency custody was awarded to me. when we went to court I was truly ready for anything with her at my side. she so efficient and direct it made court seem like it was over in just a few minutes. after winning my case she followed up with me several times to make sure things were going well for me and my son. she truly felt like my guardian Angel in my darkest of times and she brought the light back into my life. I would absolutely recommend Daphne to anyone.

I met with Daphne at an initial consultation and instantly felt comfortable with her knowledge and compassion in my case. I provided her with the requested documentation and she handled it from there. At the hearing her professionalism and confidence stood out to me and it got the job done. I would highly recommend Daphne!

I hired Daphne to represent me with my divorce and custody issues. Not only was she extremely professional, she was compassionate, extremely sensitive, and always available when I needed her. She was genuinely sympathetic and concerned with my situation.
She put me at ease from the first minute I met her and I felt like I had known her for years. She was very knowledgeable and got the job done!

Daphne has been nothing short of a miracle worker for me as I deal with issues from Child Custody, Equitable Distribution, Child Support and more for the past 7+ years. She is a caring, conscientious, proactive and reactive, compassionate, knowledgable attorney whom I trust wholeheartedly. Daphne is innovative with complex family law, confident in her abilities as a lawyer, timely with being prepared for issues, listens to my opinions and above all is responsive to my needs as a client. My case is a testimony to her continued desire to be the best attorney she can be while putting her heart, soul and vast knowledge into her job of helping acheive the best possible outcome for me, her client. I highly recommend Daphne if you are in need of an attorney who puts your best interest first and foremost above all else.

Daphne was truly spectacular in helping me get a divorce when I was out of the country. She did everything she could to help me and went above and beyond even helping me to save money. She fought for my rights and I won't hesitate to have her again in the future if needed. Thank you so much for everything! You have made my life easier in so many ways!
