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.

I have been a legal professional for 30 years, but had zero experience in the fields of wills, trusts and elder law. However, I do have high expectations for professionalism.

I've noticed that communication isn't always clear, and despite being told they're reliable and responsive, there have been several times when they missed deadlines or didn't follow through on what they promised. It seems like the leadership is more focused on their own internal concerns than on keeping their clients happy. From what I can tell, they don't really place much importance on work-life balance for their employees, which is reflected in the service they provide. When the staff is stretched so thin, it often results in delays or lower quality work. While there have been times when they've kept their promises, the overall lack of resources and ongoing operational issues have made working with them quite difficult. I don't always feel confident they'll meet deadlines or provide the level of service I expect, especially when their team seems under so much pressure.

Maria is an experienced and highly qualified attorney who made me feel right at home as she answered my questions and addressed my concerns. I met with Maria in person at her office just twice: the follow-up to our introductory telephone conversation and signing the finalized documents. In other words, it is possible to do what you need by emails, snail mail, telephone calls. The Paralegals are accomplished and professional, a real asset to the practice. I highly recommend Satterfield Legal. Office phone: 980-389-1250 maria@satterfieldlegal.com www.satterfieldlegal.com

This law firm is a winner and a keeper! I can personally attest that Culp Elliott & Carpenter…read moreprovides their clients with a rare combination of both: (a) unsurpassed legal expertise, experience, and reputation; and (b) an approachable, down-to-earth, understandable, and respectful client relationship style, which values results over ego. As a former practicing attorney, I place an extremely high value on this hard-to-find blend of attributes and attitudes. So did my late father, an "old school," self-made, and unpretentious guy, whose mantra was "what's the bottom line" of an issue. He felt very fortunate in his career, and he wanted the fruits of his life's success to end up in the hands of his family and his community's charities, not with "Uncle Sam." With CEC's help, that's exactly what happened! Having been represented for decades by a number of Charlotte's largest and oldest "downtown" law firms, Dad wisely selected Culp Elliott & Carpenter over 20 years ago. CEC helped him, over time and through thoughtful, informed, forward-thinking, and adaptive planning and execution, to achieve his estate planning goals. After Dad's passing, CEC ably handled the administration of his estate. The process was managed extremely efficiently and effectively, despite numerous business, tax, and family complexities. And, the estate tax results were outstanding! This excellent relationship continues today, with CEC partner Paul Hattenauer handling both my and my wife's estate planning, as well as that of my adult children. Paul is blessed, in abundance, with both extraordinary legal and people skills. In addition to his vast breadth and depth of knowledge in highly complex matters, Paul is a great listener, a clear communicator, a strategic thinker, a practical and results-oriented practitioner, and a genuinely great guy. It is simply a pleasure to work with Paul Hattenauer. Despite the length of this review, I rarely write reviews. However, I would feel remiss if I did not HIGHLY recommend CEC to those in need of expertise and experience in sophisticated estate planning and administration of complex trusts and estates. Five stars, without a doubt! Scott Gorelick Charlotte, NC
