Louis Wooten is an accomplished attorney but I'm not rating him 5 stars for services he rendered. I'm rating him 5 stars because he helped me resolve a NCDOR tax issue without taking a dollar from me. Instead of taking me on as a client he encouraged me to resolve this issue on my own, because it would likely be fairly straightforward to demonstrate to the NCDOR that I wasn't required to file a return during the year in question. He explained precisely how to convey this to the NCDOR auditor and I'm pleased to confirm that my purported tax liability was written down to $0 not long thereafter. Thank you Louis - you're the best!

A few months ago I received a very disturbing and aggressive letter from the IRS. They denied an earlier extensive deduction I had made. I briefly attempted to meet their demands for information but was very inadequate in navigating their requests. I called a prominent attorney I had worked with asking him for direction. Without Hesitation or Reservation he referred me to Mr. Wooten. I can truthfully state my concerns could not have been treated with any more professional and personal attention than was given by Mr. Wooten and his paralegal. His experience and expertise is unparalleled in the Southeast. I am pleased to report my case resolved with the most favorable outcome. So it is " Without the same Hesitation and Reservation" I would suggest Anyone to consult Mr. Wooten early for representation and Total Piece of Mind. Respectfully, James Howell June 2024

My heartfelt thanks to Adam Gottsegen for assisting me with an unfortunate collection matter with one of my clients. He made it easier to navigate communications with that client who paid for all past due monies without a need to go to court! I highly recommend you reach out to the firm in the event you are dealing with any business disputes. Highly professional and respectful service!

Very personable firm and made my business closing as easy as possible. Mr Sid Aldridge was my attorney in this firm. I highly recommend him for any business representation. I had a second great experience with this practice around a year later from my first experience. The second experience was dealing with an easement issue. Mr. Steven Newton was very helpful with this easement concern. This is a great practice for all kinds of law.

He was very nice and very professional. He gave me info on where to proceed with my issue over the phone. Told me that I really could do this myself and didn`t require his services which was very up front . Not something you get often .I would highly recommend him . Thank you Mr. Wooten

We couldn’t be more pleased with how Mr Adam Gottsegen has handled and resolved our legal issues. Before Adam, we have called on handful of highly recommended attorneys and none were willing to take our case due to its complexity and timing. Adam took our case and with his legal astute, knowledge and negotiation of terms made the case feel like walk in the park. He is one of those attorneys you don’t want on the opposing side. Thank you Adam for all the hard work and help! Livia and Scott

When first speaking with Adam Gottsegen, it was clear I was working with a top notch real estate attorney within the Raleigh Area! He explained attractive avenues to venture for my legal matter, which put me at ease when making decisions.

Louis conducted swift legal research and delivered timely results with very personable, personal caring service. Thanks so much again!

If I could give Mr. Wooten 10 + , I would. He deserves the highest ratings possible for his expertise, his professionalism, his ability to see the big picture and to analyze the smallest detail. In 2004, my then fiancé went to Mr. Wooten (at the recommendation of several friends who were attorneys) to have him set up a Trust of which I would be the primary beneficiary. We were married in 2006, but my husband died suddenly in 2009, thus activating the Trust. Once the estate was settled, Mr. Wooten was no longer involved as the Trustee took over. In 2019, some changes in circumstances occurred that left me feeling financially vulnerable, enough so that I decided to see the person with whom the Trust had originated, Louis Wooten.Meeting with him in person is exactly what I needed to do. I am a widow in my mid 70’s who had never (that I remember), met with an attorney alone, and I had no idea what to expect. I was nervous. I had no reason to be apprehensive. Mr. Wooten was as personable and down to earth as anyone could be, yet I knew instantly he knew what he was talking about and that he had a brilliant mind. I never felt uncomfortable or that I was asking an unreasonable question. He immediately interpreted a clause in the Trust which was to my benefit. I would never have known about particular issue had I not decided to see him. The matter has been resolved without any issues or animosity from anyone involved.What Mr. Wooten did for me has enabled me to sleep at night, as trite as that sounds. I would recommend him without hesitation, and although the matter has been resolved, I would not think twice about seeking his help again if I need to. He deserves every accolade he receives. I am so grateful for his knowledge, but also for his interest in helping me and his kindness . Thank you, Louis!

Louis Wooten does an excellent job advising us on our estate planning and preparing all associated documents. He's a very good lawyer and an enjoyable person with whom to work. I work with attorneys all the time in my business and I know the various levels of legal service that can be provided. The Wooten Firm is at that highest level.

I have had excellent results using Louis Wooten to help resolve a complex tax matter with related state and federal components. He provides sound advice and is respectful of client cost in terms of when and how to deploy his services. In other words, while charging a substantial market rate per hour, Louis is conscious of the balance between the estimated tax burden and the cost of his services. In order to help keep a fair balance for my situation, he made appropriate suggestions for me to take certain actions that I could/should take without "adding on" extra billings for legal fees that would be unnecessary. Louis proved himself trustworthy, fair and wise then it came to dealing with the dynamics regarding state and federal governments. He provides thoughtful, knowledgeable feedback and advice. I would use him again without hesitation (although it is my hope to never have that need again!). Although it took some time to navigate the situation and wait for government bureaucracy to play out, I had a very favorable outcome with the the IRS and the NC DOR. I highly recommend Louis Wooten for addressing any state or federal tax situation that you may have!

Their business advice was SUPERB, succinct and worth much more than the price I paid. If you want a job done right, with all the resources and facts, this is a wise resource!
