Joe provided sound legal representation, Godly and biblical guidance, and he helped me protect my children in a dangerous separation/divorce situation. Joe and team exceeded my every expectation by going above and beyond the call of duty. Joe has been there for me every step of the way.

Looking for an honest, personable, professional, knowledgable, communicative lawyer? I highly recommend John Wait. I hired John for a couple of legal issues over the past few years and was extremely pleased with every aspect of our working relationship. John is upfront, easy to talk to, clear and concise about expectations and probable outcomes. John was on top of every facet of what needed to be accomplished. Thank You, John!

Just great law firm

I so greatly appreciate Joe's hard work and dedication to my case I feel I was able to get optimal results from his hard work. I can't thank him enough for everything he was able to do. He is truly a great lawyer!

Joe Schmitz was extremely personable and thorough from my first consultation. I knew I was doing the right thing when I hired Joe. He was very available when I needed his advice or needed additional documentation on my case. I highly recommend Joe with any of your divorce or separation needs.

Bill Gifford and Will Martin have been a huge resource for me over the years. If there is a situation that needs input and attention, they have always offered timely and thorough information needed to make sure I am handling all situations with integrity. Martin & Gifford help me focus on correctly doing the legal, ethical and morally right things. This day and age, I don't see how anyone in the Real Estate business in North Carolina could go without having a good working relationship with Martin & Gifford. They are leaders and problem solvers on what's going on within the Real Estate industry today. They are the "go to" firm when needing NC Real Estate industry specific advice. Getting in touch Martin & Gifford before an issue develops has been the best way for me to cover the bases and stay ahead of situations that otherwise might have escalated. I am sure to keep them as the most valuable resource in my risk management program going forward.

John Wait has assisted us several times over the past few years with various legal matters with outstanding performance. His demonstrated expertise as legal council shines through in everything he does. He balances genuine caring and attention to your case with a confident and obvious passion for giving 100% effort to……putting it bluntly…winning for you. I highly recommend him and his firm.

I am a Realtor that has been in the business for a little over 12 years, and I never thought I'd ever be in a situation where I'd need an Attorney... well, the saying is true that "if you've been in the business long enough someone will make a complaint about you" happened to me. I had a past client file a claim against me to the Real Estate Commission. I hired Bill Gifford to help me out with the case and he exceeded my expectations and I only received a reprimand in a case that normally I would have gotten a suspension. I would highly recommend the Martin and Gifford Law Firm!!

It's hard to find an attorney that is both qualified and caring. I've had the good fortune to use Joe Schmitz and found him to have both of those qualities. His hard work and dedication helped make a difficult case much easier. I truly appreciate everything that he has done for me and couldn't have asked for a better attorney.

Joe was very knowledgeable about our case and he also helped us tremendously by staying in the office late one evening to help us get our documents completed. Thanks so much!!

Joe Schmitz was an excellent attorney, aiding me in a custody dispute. Joe was knowledgable of the custody laws and the court systems in my area. He was forward with his assessment and didn't leave me in the dark about what was what and what could and couldn't be done. Joe took the time to sit and speak with me, answering all my questions, addressing my concerns and making certain I understood every aspect. All in all, Joe handled my dispute the best out of three lawyers I had hired with him being the third and final and I would go back to Joe.

I am very pleased with the end results of my case. Joe listened to my concerns and showed compassion. Anything that I didn't want as part of my separation agreement he made suggestions and gave me information that ultimately would be in my best interest. Being a newly single mom I made Joe very aware of my financial situation to which he was understanding and very conscious of my concerns. He was very kind and helped me tremendously. I will certainly do business with Hartsoe and Associates again when I do my Will.
