This is the first time I've ever had to secure an attorney for legal assistance and I'm so glad Google lead me to Mr. Nutt. I am currently obtaining my graduate degree and had contract trouble with a fairly large and well-known organization. I would be financially ruined if I hadn't found Mr. Nutt. I tried to handle my problem alone, but was getting nowhere. As soon as he stepped in, everything changed. He was incredible from consultation through the entire process. Neither of us anticipated him being able to resolve this issue so promptly or easily, but he is so efficient and knowledgeable. I hope to not need such help again, but if ever in the future I require any legal counseling, I won't think twice about reaching out to Mr. Nutt and his firm.

I was recovering from a number of health issues, including breast and uterine cancer, when my husband and I experienced a leaking window after Hurricane Florence. During that repair, we discovered that our brand new retirement home was rotting from the inside out. Some of the plywood inside our walls was rotting, as were some of the beams that supported the structure of our home. Disheartened, we reached out to Kyle Nutt, who was representing a neighbor who had had similar problems with the same builder. If you have to go through something like this, Kyle Nutt Is your guy. Kyle is a gifted attorney and negotiator. I can’t imagine getting through these last few years without him. From the beginning of what was an exhausting and emotional multi-year process, Kyle has embodied professionalism, calm, reassurance, legal brilliance, energy, and thoroughness. Kyle and his staff made what was surely one of the most difficult times of our lives bearable. To begin, he explained the litigation process in a clear and straightforward way, spelling out our options and making recommendations on how to move forward. This was important, as my husband and I had never been involved in a lawsuit before and were nervous about the process. We spent an entire year working with the forensic structural engineer that Kyle recommended (she was amazing) and our new construction company to find everything we could that was wrong with our home to document and fix it. We were fortunate to be able to begin reconstruction prior to our lawsuit, but the cost was so great that we felt we had no option other than to sue. During that time and over the next year, Kyle helped us collect all relevant documents that we would need to argue our case for reimbursement, including emails, texts, contracts, and so forth. While going through these two years was not fun, Kyle’s sense of humor, ability to explain each step, and efficient process kept us sane. He and his staff lessened the burden as much as they could and guided us through each step. When the time came for depositions, which went on for several months, he knew both of us well enough to give us sound advice and hold our hands through the process. While I am glad that we were able to resolve our case, if that had not happened, we would have had total faith in Kyle to represent us in court and would have been optimistic about achieving a fair final outcome. Hopefully, this is our first and last lawsuit. While we will never recover those two years of our lives and hope that no one else has to find themselves in this type of situation, if you do, there is no one better to work with than Kyle Nutt. Until Kyle, I viewed attorneys as a necessary evil who were mostly for estate planning. But Kyle has turned my whole view of lawyers around. We give him our highest recommendation and compete vote of confidence.

Dave helped me with a very difficult case against my ex. He went deep into the financial information and reconstructed it with charts and graphs to illustrate to the court that I was telling the truth, and we prevailed. Dave believed in me when it seemed like nobody else did and he would not quit until the truth finally came out. I felt vindicated.

Mr. Linesberry represented my dad in a 3 day long divorce trial recently. This is my first time ever writing a review about anyone or anything but I just have to. "Duke" Linesberry is by far the best attorney I have ever met. He did a spectacular job during the trial . He not only works as hard as he can he genuinely cares. We were all upset at this very stressful time but seeing how he fought for my dad and most importantly was by his side being so supportive that it actually put my dad at ease as well as all of us. I live in NY and am getting divorced I even joked I would pay any amount of money to steal him for 3 days to represent me in NY . I highly recommend Mr. Linesberry because not only is he a hard worker, he's exceptionally smart and genuinely cares

What Questions Should I Ask Before Hiring a Lawyer?

Hiring the right lawyer is crucial for the success of your case. Here are some important questions to ask during your initial consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What challenges do you foresee in my case?
    Understanding potential obstacles helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to resolve my legal issue?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Wilmington, North Carolina?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
