I recently met with Mr. Kyle M. Britton at a foreclosure hearing. To my surprise, he was such a…read morekind man. He took time to speak with me and alleviated some of my fears about the circumstance I was involved in. He didn't have to speak to me at all, he certainly didn't have to be kind to me but the fact that he chose to be compassionate on a rainy Monday morning really meant the world to me. He didn't speak down to me, nor did he use verbiage that was over my head. I appreciated his candor during a very stressful time in my life. Thank you Mr. Britton :-) I would say that if you need an attorney to assist you in the Gastonia or Charlotte areas, and you'd like someone that will speak TO you, not AT you, then Mr. Britton would be a good selection to make for yourself.

My husband and I recently moved to the area, and since we've decided we like it here, we agreed it…read morewas time for us to face the thoughts/planning that no one really wants to face. I looked around on Yelp and chose Laura Rivers to assist us with our estate planning needs. After our first meeting with her, my husband made it a point to tell me that I had made a good choice. He couldn't believe we actually met Laura herself & not just someone who works at her office. She personally interacted with us to answer all of our questions while being sensitive to the matters at hand, never rushing us into decisions or pushing us towards any one thing. Her follow up was quick and within a few weeks, our estate planning documents were completed. I have to echo another review I read about her. Laura is definitely an estate planning attorney because she cares about people and is not just about money. Naturally, she is compensated for her expertise & services, as she should be, but we found her price reasonable and her demeanor friendly and professional. She was patient with us even though we had to bring our two small children to the appointments. (We are so new to the area that we had no one to babysit.) I highly recommend Rivers Law to anyone looking for an estate planning attorney in the Charlotte, NC area.

Make Sure You Don't Become Just a Donor to This Law Firm…read more I presented my case in September 2024 regarding an unresolved complaint with Gastonia Home Improvement LLC. In November 2024, after meeting in person, I discussed a strategy with Jesse Caldwell. I made the first payment, and a letter was supposedly sent to Gastonia Home Improvement LLC--though I was never given confirmation that it actually was. Two weeks later, Jesse requested additional evidence such as videos and photos, which I provided immediately. Despite my repeated attempts to follow up, I received no meaningful updates from the firm for months. Then, in May of this year, I received only a voicemail stating that the firm had discovered a conflict of interest and could no longer pursue my case. At no point during those many months did anyone mention that a conflict of interest was even a possibility. As a result, I went from being a client to what feels like just a donor--one payment, no progress, and no resolution.

However, I had a great experience with Attorney Jake Edwards who first did a consultation with me and was able to answer all of my questions. After our consultation, his suggestion was to have a will prepared instead of the more expensive route of trusts. Not only did he let me know what was necessary but also what wasn't necessary. He didn't try to up sell me on anything and he made sure that I was keenly aware of the process every step of the way. Also, he didn't rush me which was important and took his time. When it came time for me to sign my will, he went over everything again and pointed out some things to be aware of and what to do in certain situations. He again answered all of my questions, made great suggestions and made sure that I was comfortable with the final draft before signing. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my experience with Stott Hollowell. The entire staff was very professional, worked in a timely manner and above all, they earned my trust.

Had an appointment today with Peter J. Nosal at 2pm for estate planning. He arrived over 20 minutes…read morelate for the appointment stating that he just got done with his child's doctor's appointment. The receptionist assured us several times that he was on a court call and those calls can sometimes run longer. Turns out she lied right to our faces because we were ready to leave, since it didn't appear that he was planning on showing up. He finally shows up in flip flops and doesn't seem to know why we are there. We explain what estate planning we are looking for and he makes it seem like we don't need estate planning even though it's listed on their website. I asked him to adjust the website since it's clearly misleading and he asked me to show him where it says that on the website. I show him where it says that on the website that has his name on it, but somehow he's completely unaware of it. At one point he got up to go ask another attorney about estate planning and comes back and says "yea, they don't know." It also says on the website they are licensed to practice in both NC and SC, which is apparently another lie. I have never had such a confusing and frustrating encounter with an "attorney" as he seemed to know absolutely nothing about anything. He was extreme unprofessional, his receptionist had no issue with lying to our faces and he clearly has poor time management skills. It was reg flag after red flag in that appointment and I couldn't believe they operate in that way. There were absolutely no other clients in the building and I'm not at all surprised. Stay away if you value your time or need someone who is competent, because you won't find that here. Whoever scheduled our appointment is also incompetent because they clearly set us up with someone who wouldn't be able to handle what we needed. If the issues are from the front desk to the courts, you know the problem is systemic and not a one-off. They should be embarrassed by how things unfolded today.
