ARE YOU PRESENTLY ON THIS ROAD, AND HAVE NO…read moreCLUE WHAT TO DO? If you are in need of an attorney, hire Atty. Gint Krulikas of Minick Law, P.C. in Wilmington, NC. You will not be disappointed. The outcome of your case may not be the same as my family member's, but with Atty. Krulikas rest assured that you are in excellent hands at a time where you are in desperate need. When a member of your family or a close friend gets arrested, that causes the whole world to come crashing down on you both, especially if like us, you are clueless as to how to solve this problem with which we were dealt. So we prayed. We both began to take steps to get the best possible outcome, by searching for the facts and evidence. We kept hitting roadblocks. Though financially strapped, we both pulled all our assets together and hired a private attorney. Slowly, we both realized that this was not working out. So we asked very close friends and family, that we trusted, as to what to do. They advised us to seek other counsel. One friend specifically told us what to look for in an attorney. So again, we prayed. Then we went searching the internet for that type of attorney(based on reviews, awards, etc). Time was very short, and trial was approaching, since there had been prior continuances. Our search led us to Atty. Gint Krulikas of Minick Law, P.C., who fitted that description. And what a blessing. This attorney is beyond what we imagined: fee is reasonable, provides detailed zoom consultation, extremely knowledgeable about the law, very detailed in what steps he and your family member needed to take, provided your family member with a contract and detailed instructions, and is very professional. Atty. Krulikas, provided us with continuous updates, and immediately answered all emails sent to him, and kept us updated non-stop. He prepared my family member for trial, detailing the worst outcome to the best outcome. Based on what he told us, we were completely satisfied that he had looked very closely at the case, and had prepared it thoroughly. Even though we were terrified, we knew God had placed my family member in excellent hands, those of Atty. Krulikas. We got to court for trial, and Atty. Krulikas, though he had other clients, kept going to them as well as us with updates, non-stop. He was extremely professional with his behavior during the entire time, and wasted no time working on all his cases. He then calmly pulled us outside, and provided us with the best outcome ever: CASE DISMISSED! We can't describe our reaction, except blessed beyond words. If you are seeking for an attorney, one that is exceptionally knowledgeable in the law, and who really cares, hire Atty. Gint Krulikas, You will not be disappointed.

Additionally, I was impressed by the fact that the other lawyers seemed to know who he was and wanted to either speak with him or shake his hand. The arraignment went quickly. He shot me to the top of the line and I was out of there in less than 20 minutes. My next court date didn't happen until 13 MAY 2024. During this time he listed what documentation could be helpful to facilitate resolution. I obtained the documentation he requested and at our 13 MAY 2024 court date I was informed that the charges may be dismissed. On 31 MAY 2024, I was informed that all charges were in fact dismissed. Mr. Marcilliat was a seasoned, well weathered professional that speaks to his clients with respect and dignity. I could not recommend him more. Additionally, I would be remiss if I did not mention the professionalisms of his paralegal Muriel D. Kimbrough. Mrs. Kimbrough was very polite, patient and courteous. She promptly returned emails, as well as phone calls. She proved herself to be knowledgeable on many aspects of the law and I can honestly say she made the entire experience very pleasant. Thank you, Mr. Marcilliat. And, thank you Mrs. Kimbrough.

We were not ready, had not received discovery, nor a chance to produce any witnesses. So much for due process at Shotwell Law Group! Just before being taking to the holding cell, I asked the deputy to petition the court for a "trial de novo", legally vacating the conviction and sentence. Be very very careful with Blake Spale, he can come off as outgoing and trustworthy but he's a true snake in the grass. These charges related to a case where I was actually the victim of physical and civil harm. The alleged witness in the case ADMITTED on the stand the racially harassing me.

Unfortunately, the actual cleaning did not match the polished presentation. I hired this company for a deep clean, and the service did not match what was written in the contract. Several areas, like the laundry room, which were specifically included in the contract, were skipped entirely. When I asked them to come back to complete the work they had already been paid for, they told me it would be a "second phase" and would require additional payment. There was never an agreement about "phases", and it is not reasonable to charge extra for work that was already included in the original contract. They also skipped the copper sink completely. Their explanation was that there was a dish in the sink. We were home the entire time, and they could have simply asked us to move it. That alone demonstrates the level of effort and communication they were willing to put in. Cleaning products were used that were not appropriate for the materials in my home. Clorox wipes were used on surfaces that require specific cleaners, which explains why stains and buildup remained afterward. It felt rushed and not thoughtful. The team was friendly, but the quality of the work and the refusal to honor the original agreement were very disappointing. I paid for a deep clean, not a partial job with surprise "phases" added afterward. If you need a true deep clean or someone who understands how to care for different materials, this is not the company I would recommend. This experience taught me that a professional marketing appearance does not always equal professional results.

After receiving a speeding ticket a few months ago ,I contacted Mr. Collins to handle it for me. I asked him if he could give me the best rate, given I had just months earlier been in a horrific fire and hospitalized for almost two weeks. He asked me to please tell him the details. I was reluctant, as I didn't feel there were any possible monies that could be collected off of any ins. policies etc. His words were "please give me the details and let me speak with Mr. Baker" whom he works along side of with much expertise in personal injuries. Again, reluctant I said "ok sure". I went to his office speaking to both of them. Within 4 months they were able to use their expertise in their said field to not only get what we had originally expected, but DOUBLE the amount from a car insurance policy that I had no clue had personal injury liability insurance on it that they were able to collect off of for me. I cannot say enough about the level of satisfaction I received from them and their staff. If you are seeking someone to help you with any legal matters, I highly recommend you call them first. read more

The staff at Collins Law Firm all went above and beyond my expectations in handling my case. I was possibly looking at an extra year of my license being suspended, extra fees, and even supervised probation. Mr. Collins was able to get me a PJC, with no extra time to my suspension and no probation of any kind. He even advised me on another case I had in a different county, to make sure the results of my case in New Hanover did not conflict or cause any further revocations. Mr. Collins, Jana, and Karen are all very knowledgeable and professional. Mr. Collins' years of experience are clearly demonstrated in his work. If you need a lawyer who will do everything possible to get the best result, this is the one. read more

On the advice of a friend, I recently retained David Collins of the Collins Law Firm to represent me in a somewhat complicated civil matter. I met with Mr. Collins, and he quickly impressed me by asking what I thought were all the right questions. He is very bright, personable and a consummate professional. When we appeared in court, he handled everything smoothly and, to no one's surprise, we won the case. Should I have any future needs for legal representation, I would not hesitate to retain Mr. Collins again.
