I was referred to Jon Kurtz by my estate attorney. Jon enlisted partner Elise Whitley for perspective and backup. While no one enjoys a divorce, Jon and Elise made it understandable for me, a first timer. As we worked through the process, I gained confidence in their knowledge and capabilities. While researching divorce opinions, I found case law that Jon had argued (successfully). Good to have that experience in your corner. Not to mention an adjunct professor at Wake Forest and a Legal Elite. We were stymied by foot-dragging opposing counsel, and the added burden of ending Covid, but Jon keep the momentum going, with steady reminders and requests for responses, getting commitments. Ultimately we did get a settlement I felt was reasonable. My take-away is that the Kurtz firm brings a sense of dignity and respect for the law, exceptional experience and knowledge, and the competency needed for successful family practice. I have no hesitation recommending Jon and company, without question one will receive services of the highest order.

Mrs. Whitley is very knowledgeable in all areas of her job. Mrs. Whitley has provided great counsel and advice when I have needed her expertise on all matters. Mrs. Whitley listened to my concerns, and addressed all very efficiently and effectively. Mrs. Whitley takes great pride in her work, and it shows with the way she handles all matters of her work.

Compassionate, understanding, knowledgeable, calm, experienced, patient. Relationship breakdowns are so complicated, so much emotion, so many moving parts to contend with. Elise Whitley navigates you through it all and passionately guides you through the process. Her staff is attentive, thorough and thoughtful. It's difficult finding someone to trust with so many thoughts and emotions swirling around in your head. You can trust Elise Whitley. She'll take good care of you when you need it most.

Elise is a highly competent, diligent worker who puts her clients first. Since she took my case, I have been able to fully relax knowing that I have transferred my concerns to the most capable of hands. I highly recommend her without hesitation.

Elise is an excellent lawyer who is not only profeesional, but also caring and understanding. She is meticulous at everything she does and always has the best solution for every situation and problem. Elise is very informed on all legal aspects of any family situation.

I have the highest regard for Elise's expertise AND compassion, which really helps when one is struggling with the emotional and financial burdens that motivate you to make an appointment with her in the first place. It was so uplifting to meet with her, and realize that you had a strong advocate in your corner and things were going to get done. Most impressive was how efficiently all the documents were drafted (and explained), and Elise's knack for responding to e-mails with just the right perspective. I highly recommend her as a family law attorney!

I have worked with many lawyers during my years but when I had to go through a divorce Elise Whitley not only listened to my concerns and sad stories but she cared. She cared deeply and with sensitivity. It is what a good lawyer does, they listen and seek justice. I highly recommend her.

Elise Whitley is one of the finest and brightest attorneys I have ever known. During my divorce, she championed my needs and provided me the best legal advice and representation I could ever have hoped for. As a pilot and father of two young children, I was concerned how things may have turned out. But after I met with Elise, I knew everything would turn out just fine, and in the end it did. Friendly staff too.

Jessica is amazing!! I had a pretty tough/unique child custody situation and she and the team handled it with expert care and guidance. Communication was fantastic. Guidance was on point. Jessica is a rockstar in court with a quick wit and the ability to pull out all the stops for getting the best results. She’s highly personable and WILL go the distance for what your wanting. Follow her lead because you’re in GOOD hands. I NEVER had to worry because Jessica and her paralegal Rebekah were more then on top of the situation. Which was a huge blessing. Like seriously those gals are gold! Thanks guys for everything!
