Brittany Hall was my attorney on a long journey, she was always available when I needed guidance and answers in this complicated battle I had to go thru, her expertise and professionalism helped at its best! Cape fear family law it’s a great family, always there for you in any circumstances, they are great! Thank you for all you have done for me and my kids!

I live out of state. I had a previous relationship interest in NC which unfortunately did not work out. Radio silence from the opposing party was immediately broken when I was contacted this past December by the state of North Carolina, saying that I was bound henceforth of a monthly bill to the tune of $4800 in child support payments–not a small monthly sum. Now, I’ve never previously been in this type of predicament, but my musings with the hit TV series Better Call Saul and Suits gave me the notion that typically there was some sort of court appearance and/or judge to make these types of decisions—neither of which I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying. Something was amiss. With great haste, I contacted Cape Fear and was introduced to Matt Geiger. I spoke periodically with Matt over the next couple months about the case, what had happened, and what the next steps were. He warned me that although i may not have known about the previous court date, in the state of NC, evidence that they simply sent notice is all that’s needed to uphold the previous hearings judgement (mildly assbackwards, but I digress. He successfully navigated the litigious landscape and was able to secure another court date, where I met Matt for the first time face to face. I was met by a younger gentleman who assured me with great confidence that all would be well, and while mildly apprehensive about the court proceedings in the coming hour. I was fearful while listening to the opposing counsel who had overwhelming evidence that a notice to appear was indeed sent, but all fear was immediately extinguished when Matt was able to go back through all the records and find that although the notice was sent, it was sent a day later than was required by the state in the case of an out of state resident: me. Due to this one simple fact, the entire court ruling was thrown out and we have since come to a fair and equitable child support payment. I shout his praises and would strongly recommend him to anyone that asked.

I have worked with Janet and Amy over the last couple years for an ongoing issue with my grandson. When the opportunity presented itself this past September, I had to reach out to them once again. Matthew was brought into the mix. I can honestly say that all 3 have given me a sense of comfort in their timeliness of responding, whether during business hours or after. I loved the concept of a flat rate so that I didn't feel that every time I had a question, it would cost me another dime. These folks helped us gain a life for my grandson that he so deserves and I am forever grateful to each and every one of them.

Cape Fear Family Law was extremely impressive! My attorney, Melenni Balbech, had a remarkable ability to demonstrate empathy, support, and professionalism while also offering gentle assertiveness when necessary. The entire team, including Melenni, consistently maintained open communication and provided me with honest guidance throughout the entirety of my case. Their encouragement to approach decisions rationally rather than emotionally was invaluable. Although I sincerely hope to never require the services of a family law attorney again, I would undoubtedly choose Cape Fear Family Law and Melenni without hesitation.

Melenni and her staff was amazing! She was always so supportive and understanding throughout my whole divorce process. 200% recommended!!!

Matthew was great to work with. He assisted my client/mom with a difficult separation situation while she tried to sell her home.

My experience with the Cape Fear Family Law team was wonderful! Working with Waneta Ellis was the best experience I could have asked for during this difficult time. She was very responsive, professional and willing to play hard ball when the time came. I would recommend her to anyone and would give 10x more stars on if I could. When it comes to divorce and custody cases, she is top notch, and I am so grateful for her services. It means a lot to develop a relationship with your legal team and Waneta did just that. I'm glad she was on my side of the table!

I’ve tried several lawyers in the past and struggled to get consistent communication, but not at Cape Fear Family Law! Brittany Hall and her team went above and beyond for my family. She never left a question unanswered. Responded to emails at all hours. Incredible service! Thank you so much for all you have done!

I would fully recommend this office. I worked with Kayleigh and while this is an extremely difficult time for our family, she has made it easy to navigate. I felt prepared and like she was invested fully in getting the best outcome for my family.

During a very sensitive time I felt supported, seen and heard while at the same time received some great tough love advice I know I needed while going through my divorce. I highly recommend Cape Fear Family law!
